Every major federal party ran in 2021 on a platform that included a consumer carbon tax. Nearly every single Liberal, NDP and Conservative MP won their seat while carrying a commitment to apply a price on carbon.
The Conservative platform in 2021 stated, 'We recognize that the most efficient way to reduce our emissions is to use pricing mechanisms.' Yet, leadership changes and rising inflation challenged the carbon tax's sustainability.
Despite claims of the Conservative leader, the latest research suggests the carbon tax contributed less than 0.5% to increases in consumer prices since 2019, which undermines the argument that it significantly drives up costs.
