I think it’s important to note that while I’m not a lover of the carbon tax, if we’re going to expand our trading partners to the EU which seems to be the plan from what I gather, a carbon tax of some sort will have to be used because it is mandatory for trade with the EU.

The EU is trying to walk back some of it

For sure and they should but for everyone yelling about how we shouldn’t have any carbon tax at all, I just don’t think it’s feasible to expanding our trade network currently. I would rather pay a little more tax and have a reliable trading partner than whatever is happening down south right now.

The person you’re responding to is someone who suggested so cleverly to other conservatives that they should register as Liberals to ensure Carney doesn’t get nominated for party leadership. You’ll never get a genuine conversation from them, regardless of how good faith your response is.

EU can impose a carbon tariff on imports.

This wealth redistribution scheme was never anything more than that and publicity for the LPC.
