Debate intensifies over Carney’s new carbon tax and energy policy
April 15, 2025, 4:21 pm
Two opinion pieces assess the ramifications of Mark Carney’s newest policy proposals, which combine elements of a controversial carbon tax with broader energy policy reforms. One analysis explores the potential environmental and economic impact of the proposed measures, questioning whether the plan will mitigate climate risks effectively. The other piece highlights significant public skepticism over the proposal, particularly concerning how costs might be shifted from taxpayers to major polluters. Together, they portray a divided reaction from both experts and the public.
