Skippy will axe the carbon tax which honestly will make people like him enough to ignore some of the… other things he will do. That will lower prices of everything, maybe not to the levels of the beforetime because corpos won’t let that free profit disappear but it will make life easier for many.
Removing the carbon tax won’t appreciably lower the price of anything for any amount of time. It won’t make life easier for average Canadians because the average Canadian gets that money back. We’ll have the same prices, the same unachievable cost of living, but with fewer social supports.
The free market has never once chosen morality over profit. Year after year we’ve proven we can suffer through it, so there is no motivation to change.
My guess is you don’t have a diesel vehicle or heat with furnace oil because let me tell you, what I get back doesn’t even come close to how much I’m spending. It’s a joke, now think of all the farmers, transport companies, they’re getting a fraction of what they’re spending on fuel , and all of that gets passed down the line. There’s a reason the Maritimes got a break on the carbon tax, it’s made heating with oil very expensive. And Diesel is taxed higher than that.
