My favorite part is when they said the carbon levy makes things cheaper in BC than the rest of Canada...

Overall, B.C. systematically has lower consumer price increases than the rest of Canada in the months following carbon tax increases. Again, this doesn’t prove the carbon tax didn’t increases prices, as many other factors are also at play and the modest price increases might have been even smaller but for the carbon tax.

Many other factors? Hmmm, like what I wonder?
