Is the goal to upset people or to avoid a climate crisis?

The carbon tax was in place long enough to make this a fact-based assessment. Any evidence that it helped?

I would like to see a government that can be effective without people “foaming at the mouth”. If the latter is the price of being effective, I will take it.

A government built on the idea that “if other people hate what we are doing then we must be doing it right” turns Canada into the US. No thank you.

If improving the climate is the goal, that should be what we measure. Strength of opposition represents at best an unavoidable side-effect and at worst failure to focus action on the actual goal.
