Trudeau accuses Singh of “caving” on carbon pricing to Conservatives

After the messy divorce between the federal Liberals and the NDP, there's been more fallout — this time, over the carbon pricing scheme.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh of "totally caving into" political pressure from Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives, and waffling on the cornerstone of the Liberals' environmental policy.

Global's Eric Sorensen on the political hot potato that is carbon pricing in Canada, and why even some experts say it hasn't lived up to expectations.

This is the same mf who said fighting climate is important... at a NATO meeting.

Trudeau doesn’t get how unpopular his policy is. Drop the carbon tax

[markmark-ku]

Carbon scam. Why doesn't the U.S and Mexico our trading partners also have carbon tax, because they would revolt.

[Machoman-mphm]

Just eliminate those ripoffs taxes, tax the rich.

[HaralaMasli]

Trudeau & Singh are the worst thing to happen to Canada

[masseymm]

Eby should be in jail for what he has done to BC

[ShaniaHogan]

Bye bye Trudeau 👋 your services are no longer needed. Your fired 👆🏽

JT is ruining this country single handedly

[MrJabez]

Singh supported it for years. I guess his lack of popularity is finally sinking in.

Turbinator is not part of European culture who shaped this land. Label me now.

JT, WHO THE HELL IS DISAPPOINTED OVER AXING THE CARBON TAX? WE REALLY WANNA SEE THESE "LOTTA PEOPLE"

[beatsbybigjoe]

Its not political pressure. Trudeau forgets he works for Canadians, his governments policies and ideologies are clearly unpopular. His government continues to ignore what Canadians are saying hence the abysmal poll numbers. READ THE ROOM dude.

Singh and Eby both in BC should both recognize the affordability crisis healthcare crisis housing crisis and know peoples priorities change. If the climate is his main concern he should vote for the green party instead I like the rep in Kitchener actually.

Carbon taxes at increased rates WILL drive up food prices. Farmers, processors, shippers and grocery outlets will all have higher bills to pay as a result of carbon taxes, so it is an absolute that carbon taxes will impact food pricing in even greater amounts if Trudeau is allowed to keep driving carbon taxes higher and higher.

I wonder how much better the climate will be when every Canadian is living in a tent ?

It does get pretty cold in Canada

[curtis]

Canada can't even tie its own shoes with assistance

[GreatGazoo]

This is going to be the most anticipated election in recent Canadian history and there is a strange feeling in the air where Justin, along with Singh, will both be defeated and relegated to obscurity along with their parties.

In other news PM Trudeau has found credible allegations that Indian diplomats are motivating NDP against carbon tax. 😂😂

[dangrather]

I wouldn’t trust Eby or singh. Trudeau is a no brainer fool.
