Liberals plan to soften carbon tax plan over competitiveness concerns

allthecanadianpolitics:

The Liberal government is curtailing its plan to price carbon pollution after hearing concern from Canadian industry officials.

Looks like our already watered down plan to fight climate change is getting even more watered down.

This is why I’ve become more skeptical of carbon taxes lately. I think it’s also suspicious that fossil fuel companies tend to support them and I think this is precisely why. What’s required is massive government planned renewable energy/decarbonization projects on the scale of rural electrification or the interstate highway system in the US and Canada. Nothing less.
