Today, support for the carbon tax is crumbling, even though the fight isn't over.
But as recently as the 2021 election, every major federal party in Canada campaigned in support of the carbon tax, a charge on fossil fuels based on the amount of greenhouses gases produced. Since then, strategic blunders by Justin Trudeau's Liberals and attacks from Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives have undermined the consensus. But the roots of Canada's carbon-tax revolt go much deeper.
Axing the Taxdescribes the initial promise of the carbon tax and explains the fatal flaws that destined it to fail. Written by Canada's most consistent critic of the tax, it takes you inside the fight to scrap it and makes clear why carbon taxes are, and always will be, a bad deal for the consumers and businesses forced to pay the bill.
Now, as politicians from across the spectrum are backing away from the carbon tax, the real story of its rise and fall can be told for the first time.
