Canada, Montreal.
The Canadian opposition conservative leader -widely expected to be the Prime Minister this year has pledged to abolish the carbon pricing scheme enacted by Prime Minister Liberal Prime Minister Liberal.
This policy has spent additional costs on fossil fuel products such as gasoline as part of the country’s promotion to reduce emissions and work on climate crises.
Dubbing it with “carbon tax”, Poiriebles accused Poiriebles of an environmental program in a reasonable price in Canada, despite the research indicating that the carbon price setting has an impact on inflation. He also promised to “pay taxes for everyone forever.”
“We need a carbon tax election to dismiss all of them and bring back common sense conservative governments home.” He said in a recent video posted on social media that he mentioned the liberal school.
Conservatives want their anti -carbon tax strategies to repay their federal votes in the future, as they continue to struggle with high Canadians.
Experts say that the Tree’s campaign has politically set a carbon price setting. Even at the forefront of the competition of replacing the tortoons as the head of the ruling Liberal Party, which retreats Tordaw from policy
“Especially conservatives have created a lot of political dried grass from counterattacking carbon pricing. Hadrian Meltins Karkwood, a senior researcher at the Canadian policy center, said:
“There are certainly some political dates here. The conservatives consider this as a problem of victory, so they lowered the double and triple, and turned it into a controversy. “
However, Meltins Kirkwood has “dramatically exaggerate” the political rhetoric in carbon pricing, both in terms of affection on affordable prices and the importance of overall climate battle. Was stated.
“The problem is this political soccer, this symbol of the government is overflowing on the other hand, and on the other hand, it is a scrutiny of climate policy, and I have no. I just think.
What is a carbon price?
In 2018, Canada enacted the greenhouse gas pollution price law and established the minimum state standards for setting carbon prices in states and regions nationwide.
The federal government has introduced two systems. One is for large -scale industrial pollution, and the other is for Canada consumers.
Consumer carbon prices -This is the most impressive and political anger has imposed taxation on daily purchases of fossil fuel products such as diesel, gasoline, and natural gas.
These taxes are increasing over time. According to the Canadian Tax Payer’s Federation (PDF), the latest hiking in April costs $ 0.12 ($ 0.176) per liter of gasoline.
What we are thinking about is that increasing fossil fuels can change their actions and forced them to leave products that increase greenhouse gas emissions.
This scheme is only part of the overall strategy of the liberal government for working on climate change.
“It’s a very noticeable policy because everyone is always paying a little,” Meltins Karkwood said. He said that every time the Canadians filled the gas tank, he felt the effects of the carbon price setting, paying a natural gas bill, or going to a grocery store.
“It’s just a recipe for unpopularity. Even if it’s not a big price, you can get a rebate, basically in the whole country,” he explained.
“Psychologically, it’s not the equation of victory. I think it’s a matter of carbon pricing, regardless of how it was politically processed. It’s not a political victory policy. “
Poor communication
In fact, the federal government has introduced a rebate system to support Canadian households offset carbon prices.
In December, Calgary University Professor Treva Tombe and Jennifer Winter discovered that Canadian households had paid every quarter through government rebate systems.
“This is protected by many families, especially those with a small income, due to negative financial impact on the price setting of emissions, and some families could be pure financial benefits. I will do it. “
They also stated that the pricing of emissions only increased the overall rise in Canadian consumer prices since 2019.
“Most of the rising prices were promoted by global factors, such as the rapid increase in energy prices and the confusion of the supply chain,” they said.
Keith Stewart, a Canadian Green Piece senior energy strategist, can “poison water” because the government did not clearly convey the system of the system in some of the issues related to carbon pricing. Was stated.
“The answers of the communication they had for all of them trust us. We are smart economists,” he said.
The money that Canadians returned through the carbon rebate was not clearly labeled. The funds were left in people’s accounts and promoted confusion, without being marked as part of the policy.
However, Stewart hurried to abolish Canada’s carbon pricing and warned to “do not throw away the baby.”
He said that even if consumer prices were reduced, the industrial carbon price setting scheme could still be strengthened. “I will do the same job without causing the same anger.”
He warned that the conservative campaign, “elucidating taxes,” is contrary to a wider range of efforts by the parties to reduce climate behavior and support fossil fuels.
Canada has one of the world’s largest oil deposits in Western State, Alberta. POILIEVRE has opposed a liberal proposal that promotes new fossil fuel infrastructure such as pipelines and suppresses the contamination of the Canadian oil and gas category.
“The conservatives are now proposing not only carbon tax but also clean fuel standards,” said Stewart. “It has a much greater impact than they” reduce taxes. ” “
The liberal sect breaks the policy
CAROLINE BROUILLETTE, an executive director of the Climate Action Network Canada, stated that some Canadian politicians were “scapegoated carbon price settings” as part of “efforts to limit all climate behavior.” Ta.
She also told Al Jazira that the Conservative Party had not been able to submit a “climate plan or constructive proposal” so far.
“The conclusion that I am taking this point is one of the most important crisis that Polyvee is facing a member of the competition to serve. Just tell us if you are doing it. “
Brouillette stated that Canadian political parties should make a plan to work on both climate and economic issues prior to the following elections that must be held by October 20.
“We are engaged in constructive conversations that these candidates are not engaged in racing to the bottom, but to jointly work on affordable prices and climate crisis. I want it, “she said.
On the other hand, the Liberal Party plans to select a new leader in early March, and the last two tranners in the race have set consumer carbon pricing one of the initial campaigns. I did.

Mark Carney, a former governor of Canadian Bank, and the top candidate for racing, said last week that the carbon price setting would be replaced with “reward people by making more environmental choices”.
Carney said that these choices include “purchasing more efficient electrical appliances, driving electric vehicles, and insulation of the house.” “The truth is that consumer carbon tax is not functioning. It’s too distracted and divided, so I cancel it.”
Crystay Freeland, a rival to the leadership post of Christia Freeland, a long -time agent and former Finance Minister of Finance, plans to cancel the Canadian carbon prices.
“If people have a carbon consumer price, they say,” You know, we don’t like it. ” “So we have to listen, and at the same time need a powerful plan to fight climate change.”
“Change of power”
Eventually, Mertins-Kirkwood stated that the debate on carbon pricing was partially helped by Canadians “talking about the actual climate policy.
He stated that more effective measures were to introduce government regulations to require climate behavior, not a proposal.
Mertins-Kirkwood pointed out that the obligatory abolition of coal-fired power generation was one of these examples, and pointed out that the sale of new vehicles equipped with an internal fluctuation engine by 2035 was planned.
“These are difficult regulations. These are strict approaches that are forced to change behavior, unlike carbon pricing and electric vehicle incentives.
Green Piece Stewart also stated that Canada should also consider developing a “green industry strategy” that will create green employment and lead to better investments.
“You need to change the channel simply,” Do you support carbon tax? “” If it’s not carbon tax, what? “
