I understand why our new Prime Minister of Canada felt he needed to eliminate the consumer carbon tax in Canada. His opponent managed to weaponize it with a stupid rhyme.

Prime Minister Carney explains that the carbon tax had become “too divisive.” At least he’s honest about why he’s removing it – not because he thinks it’s a bad policy or because it’s ineffective.

Let’s take a moment to lament how even when receiving hundreds of dollars in direct rebate cheques from the carbon tax, we’re collectively too stupid to endure the most mild perceived imposition.
