Unpacking the carbon tax debate with Tyler Meredith
Axe the tax. Spike the hike.
Judging by how much we hear the Tories talk about carbon pricing, you'd be excused for thinking we're a federal politics publication.
The Ford government has made opposition to the carbon tax their central message for months. Since the Greenbelt scandal, they've been laser-focused on it.
They've tried to tie Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie to the policy, calling her the "queen of the carbon tax." Crombie responded to those attacks this week with a climate policy announcement of her own.
Today, we get into the federal-provincial battle, the Crombie vs. Ford fight, and where the provincial Liberals may end up once they go on record with a new policy.
