I think Kenney actually has it pretty good. They'll ceremoniously remove the Carbon Tax knowing he will be forced to take the federal Carbon Tax the next day but the headline will say that Kenney removes Carbon Tax from the Sun and Herald. Most of his supporters will not understand the implication and cheer for their hero.

Those that follow the story will naturally (and I suppose correctly) blame the federal government when the Carbon Tax is still around. But probably a large percentage really won't know that the federal replaced the provincial Carbon Tax and will just assume that, had it not been for Kenney, we would have had a federal and provincial Carbon Tax.

I think it will be a having his cake and eating it too moment. Gets "rid" of the Carbon Tax but keeps the revenue from the Carbon Tax.
