Whatever you think of carbon pricing (or any of the other issues facing our country, including pipelines), one's stance on it should never result in the opinion our country is a "joke."
Yes, we can make Canada a better place and we should always strive to. But to call it a "joke" demonstrates deep unseriousness, parochialism, and wanton cynicism.

No, its a joke.
We have the premier of the biggest province telling everyone we should have a Canada First approach while his province has been the biggest jackass when it comes to removing inter provincial trade barriers.
There are a dozen other examples like this.
End of the day Canada has a lot of offer to the world.
Oil, gas, critical minerals, clean energy, etc, etc....but provincial needs and enviroweenies, dictate what is done.
Now when we're up #### creek they all of a sudden want us all to believe that they actually care about Canada First. Yeah fricking right.
