Before you get disappointed, pay attention to the fact that he's repeatedly said his plan is to replace the carbon tax, not just end it with no backup plan.

Carney's play here is simple; he wants, and believes in, some form of carbon pricing, but The Carbon Tax has become politically radioactive. So, kill it, rebrand it, and reintroduce it. Without "Axe The Tax" and "Fuck Trudeau" PP loses his entire political identity.

Alternatively, he defends the carbon tax, potentially to the point of it being enough to put the CPC over the top in an election, and then they axe it with no plan to replace it.

I'll join you in being disappointed - and disgusted - if he fails to follow through on delivering an effective replacement (which won't happen until after an election), but for now let's follow the play.
