When someone (like my coworker this morning) tells you that Trudeau is the worst thing that's ever happened to Canada because of the #GDP - make them read this.
Banks tell you one thing - reality says it a little more complicated and not at all a true measure.

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy.
We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship.

CPC Leader Pierre Poilievre says the next election will be the "carbon tax election," but his campaign isn't the only one calling for an end to Canada's carbon pricing policy.

Meet the groups spending the most on social media ads attacking the carbon tax | CBC News
The Investigative Journalism Foundation (IJF) analyzed social media advertising over the last year to see who is echoing Poilievre's "axe the tax" mantra. Apart from politicians and political parties, the biggest spender is an outfit most Canadians have never heard of.

The truth is coming out on the carbon tax
The truth is no match for an honestly told lie. Witness the disconnect between what we know about the carbon tax in Canada and the way it’s perceived by large swathes of the public.
