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.

Again, this is all in the context of a jurisdiction which, even after all of the listed tax increases, will still have the lowest tax burden in Canada (and one of the lowest in North America), at least as I understand it.
Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
