| DESCRIPTION & COMMENT | The repeal of the consumer carbon tax has long been a policy and rallying cry for the Conservatives - "Axe the Tax". | Mr. Carney, in a non-binding display, signed a "directive" as one of his first actions as the new PM on March 14, 2025 to reduce the consumer carbon tax to nil. To be clear, however, the legislation has NOT been repealed and an order-in-council was subsequently signed to bring the rate down to nil. Mr. Carney has also subsequently released a long list of initiatives that he would like to do regarding the new carbon tax for industrial companies, providing incentives for "energy efficient" buildings and EV vehicles. This sounds very expensive and burdensome. |
