Apparently Trump of the North Poilievre has been trying out “carbon tax Carney” as a nickname. And this despite Carney saying he’ll repeal the carbon tax. (Probably a good electoral move, despite the carbon tax being a good idea).
Anyhow, I don’t think a guy whose obvious nickname is “little PP” should be opening the door to the nickname game.
I think this might be one of his weak spots, when he’s been asked about the carbon tax issue previously he starts to talk a little too much like a microeconomist. When he was asked about this by Rosemary Barton he went on for too long and it became convoluted. The public won’t get a lot out of his explanations unless they get a lot simpler and until then the conservatives can say basically what you just said: his new system will deliver largely the same outcome.

He’s repealing the consumer carbon tax.
It’s easy to just shift the costs to the background by charging producers. The outcome is largely the same.
