I would guess it’s because ending the carbon tax would end the payment people get paid from it. Majority of people profit from it.

I hadn’t thought about that angle of it, thanks for the insight. Definitely feels like a valid concern.

Unless I’m missing something, it’s been close to a century since a minority government made it the full 4 years. I suspect we’ll see another election prematurely.

Exactly my thoughts, it’ll only be effective if it’s done properly. Otherwise it’s just another half-measure that is more burden than benefit.

That said though, I wonder how much carbon/money rural heating oil specifically generated. It’s possible this is just a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme and is an acceptable loss to help these folks out. Although I might prefer a bigger push to get people off heating oil altogether (which is where it’s going to have to go eventually).

It’s bots all the way down…

I joke but that reminds me of the Dead Internet Theory

Wow I’m late to respond to you. To my knowledge no, but there have been more announcements recently about plans being put into motion.

Related, Bruce Power is getting new reactors but afaik they’re not SMRs.
