Yep. It’s a good political move. PP made decent environmental policy politically toxic, and even gave Carney a childish nickname: “carbon tax Carney.” So now, if he keeps banging on about carbon tax, he just looks like an idiot. Conservatives don’t want any climate policies.
Carney has environmental bona fides, so he will create replacement climate policy, I’m sure. But ending toxic policies early is smart, IMO.
Snowshadow shared this article last week. It’s a quick read, but it tells you a lot about Carney’s character and integrity. And his commitment to climate policy.
