Prime Minister Mark Carney wasted little time in removing a potent point of attack for the Conservatives in recent years: the consumer carbon tax.

@GottaLaff I liked the carbon tax, as implemented. Feels like we are going backwards.

But.. in the face of US threats, it's a fair move for the moment. :(

@cowman Political move. PP went after the carbon tax explicitly in his TV ads, tying Carney to it.

@GottaLaff @cowman Short term move aimed at sucking the wind out of Pierre's Axe the Tax rallying cry.

Carbon pricing will remain in Canada in one form or another and Canadians will receive their April rebate cheques.

@gemelliz @GottaLaff @cowman It's still on for the large industrial emitters, like the oil sands

@gemelliz I figured. Good. @cowman
