But the LPC says the tax puts more money in your pocket? How could that be punitive?

"Rural Economic Development Minister Gudie Hutchings says if Western and Prairie provinces want to secure carve-outs in the federal government’s carbon pricing policy, they should elect more Liberal ministers who can share their concerns with the government"
Can't hear and/or address concerns unless you vote LPC.
"Polling from Abacus Data shows the Liberals losing six points in Atlantic Canada from June to September, after the carbon price came into effect, while the Conservatives gained 11 points in that same timeframe.
And when asked whether the federal government is looking into carve outs in the policy for people outside of Atlantic Canada, or for other types of home heating, Hutchings said it depends on the success of the new pilot project.
“That's a discussion that we'll have down the road when we know that this one is working, but I can tell you Atlantic Caucus was vocal with what they've heard from their constituents, and perhaps they need to elect more Liberals in the Prairies so that we can have that conversation as well,” she said."
Can't hear you when we don't secure your vote, as if that isn't enough of an attention getter.
Bodes well so long as you give them power, which means they have to do nothing unless that power is at risk.
LPC standing up for the environment, as long as you stand up for them. Thank God it's not political.
Forward. For everyone. *
