the next election is going to be about jobs for a lot of canadians and about the cost of living more generally. as economists have repeatedly pointed out, more canadians benefit economically from carbon taxation than are harmed by it. this is a losing strategy, and it's only working because the prime minister is so inherently unlikable.
everybody else should ignore his tirades against climate change as the out of touch ramblings of a man lost in the distant past, which is what conservatives tend to be, yesterday's men, and instead focus on what canadians want them to focus on, which is getting the cost of living down in a substantive, real way that will actually make a difference, such as by building more public housing.
