I'll say it again: the carve-out for heating oil in Atlantic Canada was either a) deeply stupid and shortsighted because it focused everyone's attention on the tax at the exact moment Poillevre was looking for a wedge issue that wasn't pandering to Nazis, or b) the Liberals want to kill it anyways and sabotaging because of a a) is the most passive-aggressive, milquetoast way to do it that still gives them plausible deniabilty.
I lean towards b) because assuming the Liberals are milquetoast, billionaire-boot-polishing cowards who sit so hard on the fence that they wear out pants is probably a safe assumption.
Never forget, this is the LPC that, very early in their mandate, bought the Trans-Mountain Pipeline with plans to gift it back to private industry for pennies on the dollar. We can't do electoral reform without years of committees, but we can buy a pipeline for thirty billion dollars without consulting anyone. To think they care about decarbonizing the economy is laughable, they're just not as moustache-twirlingly evil about it as the Conservatives are.
