Well, fuck. That's income I could have really used. This negatively affects people living in poverty the most, and benefits the affluent the most. This better come paired with some kind of financial break for low income earners.

I feel like this signals that Carney is willing to cast aside his principles and throw uninvolved people under the bus so that he can meet his priority goals. Ie, getting ignorant swing voters on his side. This is a blatant campaign move that should have been an election promise, not a unilateral decision.

He is trying to keep PP from getting any raise in the polls.

I believe that's what I said.

...

Are we still doing "phrasing"?

Sadly, most people are idiots and don’t realise it benefits them.

There's at least hope with Carney that he'll come up with another environmental policy that the conservatives brain rotted by Poilievre won't get mad at.

I believe he did promise this before he was elected as head of the liberal party.

Edit: Yes he did

Not sure I see that as consequential.

His stated goal is to replace it with something similar but with better branding.

Consider that this effectively kills 90% of PP's campaign rhetoric, and that if PP were to be elected, you'd lose the tax anyway without a replacement.
