Finally the financial incentives are being added in, which is the proper way to reduce emissions because it creates actionable policies instead of stupid taxes with no plan in place.
But isn't it great that Carney is already blaming everyone else for the stupid Liberal plan?
"Yeah our plan was great, but because Canadians hate it we'll have to change it, but its not our fault, its the Conservatives fault for lying about it!"
What a bloody joke.

The Carbon tax method is far less invasive. The incentive method is the government picking winners and losers and interfering in the market. Pricing externalities and letting the market decide was far better. It’s hustling not politically palatable. See the liberals bailing out heating oil when the tax was doing exactly what it should.
This system using Industrial emitter money to make small changes locally is poor from a dollars per tonne removed standpoint.
