I never said I support anything.
I just said it is entitled to think that families and people are not actually struggling.
My opinion on the carbon tax is that it works if implemented properly.

This is Manitoba has of June 2022.
High propane + natural gas prices should discourage investments on that front for space heating, and instead should encourage investments in electric & heat pump methods.
Which hopefully will result in further r&D to be made into making heat pumps more efficient in -40 C weather. There are a few models out there, but they fall to 80% efficiency in -30C.
