I mean, debate the merits of a tax increase or this particular type of tax increase all you want, but I just don't see what's sneaky about it? Unless I'm missing something?

Let's see the ndp's record so far:
Electricity tax (carbon tax) - starting jan 1, 2017
Home heating tax (carbon tax) - starting jan 1, 2017
Gas prices up 4 cents/litre (carbon tax) - starting jan 1, 2017
Gas prices up another 6 cents/litre (carbon tax) - starting jan 1,2018
Alchohol and ciggarette tax increasing
6.1% property tax - starting this year
Did i miss anything?
But they won't raise the pst and will give carbon rebates to their voter base, so essentially buying votes without looking bad. I'd say that's pretty sneaky.
