On Monday, Bloc Québécois MPs will decide the fate of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s motion to exempt all fuel for home heating from the carbon price. The motion is non-binding but is significant because it serves to keep the hot-button carbon tax debate alive and in the public eye.
The federal government wants to get more heat pumps installed in homes across Canada, especially in vote-rich Atlantic Canada. Not surprisingly, Conservatives are already trying to confuse Canadians about their costs and benefits.
Poilievre threw down the challenge in an address to his caucus this morning, where he chided the Liberals' decision to pause the levy only for home heating oil over the next
The Conservative party is maintaining a steady lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals, a new poll suggests, at a time when Canadians are reporting limited trust in their institutions.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faced a second day of criticism over the carbon tax carveout but resolved there will be no similar breaks for other provinces.
After four years of defending the carbon tax, Justin Trudeau's government crashed into the political reality unfolding in Atlantic Canada. Now, can any of the Liberal government's signature climate policy be salvaged from the wreckage?
The Liberals are collapsing in the polls, but the NDP's numbers haven't budged. Why their refusal to speak the language of jobs and the economy is holding them back, and what they can do to close the gap?
Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem warned premiers who publicly asked the central bank to not raise interest rates last month that their requests could undermine the institution's independence.
The carbon tax is increasingly unpopular with a growing number of Canadians. If Justin Trudeau wants to save his carbon tax — and his party — from Pierre Poilievre, he'll need to double down on the idea, not walk away from it.
