Carney basically alluding he isn't ruling out running as he starts being more visible publicly...which basically means he will be running. And with him publicly questioning the carbon tax exemption, he has taken a side on the debate contrary to Trudeau.
Quote:
"Many Canadians are struggling. They're struggling not because of the carbon tax, which gets rebated, they're struggling because of broad increases in energy prices and food prices, the impact on wages ... the lingering effects of COVID as well," Carney said during a question-and-answer session after delivering remarks at Tuesday's conference.
"I would have looked for other ways to provide that support than the route chosen, not least because what is important is that clarity in terms of the overall plan, the overall direction. Because that certainty helps to incentivize change, so you can provide support here, but keep this certainty there."

Poilievre meanwhile, is seeing the opportunity to have Liberal and NDP MPs take a stance on home heating
The motion being voted on this morning is the following:
That, given that the government has announced a “temporary, three-year pause” to the federal carbon tax on home heating oil, the House call on the government to extend that pause to all forms of home heating.
It should be quite interesting to see how Liberal and NDP MPs vote, and how said Liberal and NDP MPs in provinces like Ontario and BC can face their constituents if they vote against the motion.
I fully expect the Liberal-NDP coalition to vote down the motion, the parliament live connection is quite spotty today
Such a self-made colossal debacle.
