    Removing the carbon tax won’t appreciably lower the price of anything for any amount of time. It won’t make life easier for average Canadians because the average Canadian gets that money back. We’ll have the same prices, the same unachievable cost of living, but with fewer social supports.

    The free market has never once chosen morality over profit. Year after year we’ve proven we can suffer through it, so there is no motivation to change.
