📝 DESCRIPTION
Carbon tax could come back, according to Ontario Liberal candidate Lorna Jean Edmonds—drawing jeers from a rural audience ahead of the April 28, 2025 federal election. Despite Prime Minister Mark Carney scrapping the “divisive” consumer carbon tax in March, Edmonds refused to rule out its return, stating, “I’m not going to unequivocally say that we won’t see a carbon tax again.” Her remarks ignited backlash, especially as many Canadians believe the industrial carbon tax still hits consumers hard. Conservative MP Michael Barrett promised to eliminate the carbon tax forever, while the NDP also backed relief for farmers through Bill C-234. With polls showing 70% of Canadians expect higher costs from the industrial tax, this debate is far from over. Watch as we break down this explosive exchange, how each party is responding, and what it means for your wallet, your vote, and Canada’s future.
