I'll tell you what certainly won't. The Conservatives. Yet they would likely win if an election was held today.

neither will removing the carbon tax from heating oil. But it would certainly buy votes if an election was held today

You could make the argument that if those votes bought and won an election and you got a non conservative government, you would end up with more climate friendly legislation than without those exemptions (and then conservatives win and nothing climate friendly happens.)

Such is the curse of a large pluralistic democracy where we have to win over folks who disagree with us.
