@moonpiecat@HFX Nah mate, there is big difference from the Premier privately picking up the phone and fixing the issue and issuing the statement he did. Hell he could have also issued a statement after resolving it to diffuse the situation.
@nspc Your leader is an accountant by trade, we know you understand how a carbon tax/rebate works. Why are you pursuing this anti-intellectual attack on a federal policy that helps low-income / low-emissions people? just run on your own policies, you have a giant lead. disappointing
@MitchMaltby@nspc Why do we want to remove a Carbon tax that is helping the lowest-income members of our society with quarterly cheques? If you think we are paying more than we are getting back (which isn't true) why not press the Feds to add some general revenue into the rebate cheque instead?
@ZachWeiner A quick google from after the 2020 election also showed polling where Republicans were more likely to answer incorrectly.
This isn't a question of intelligence, it is showing who is getting hit with the most misinformation.
@colwight@RossKneeDeep Doesn't really matter. It would be irresponsible to wait and see. Trump said all products so best to believe him. This business will also increase the prices to consumers to reflect the future cost and will likely profit off being a first mover.
@EScrimshaw Talking about cost of living, even stupid things: removing bridge tolls & giving everyone $200 are doing well. Those who are not directly finding ways to make life cheaper in a way the common person can understand are failing. Also, the Feds get most of the cost of living blame.
@DenySully I think they have deflected the cost of living issues onto the Feds successfully. Rightly or wrongly people are accepting it as a Carbon tax and Immigration issue. The electorate is not economically literate.
@PapaBearett@MichaelRStrain@DKThomp Canada has had significantly lower inflation. Cumulative inflation in Canada since 2020 ~17.68% . Cumulative inflation in USA since 2020 ~21.80%
Despite doing a much better job on inflation, Trudeau will still lose his next election.
@TimHoustonNS Making the bridge free is estimated to increase bridge traffic by 10 to 20%. How are you going to mitigate the increase in traffic and prevent a massive increase in congestion?

@DartmouthDerek Someone didn't read Deny's substack last week. Making the bridge free is predicted to increase bridge traffic by about 10-20%.
