@@AStri-zg5xc The carbon tax isn't all that costly. There are more than a few studies that show the carbon tax adds very little to the cost of anything. I'll let you do your own Google searches on that. Otherwise, the carbon tax has a purpose in reducing carbon emissions. Which is a good thing. And it's been inevitable for about the last 40 years when governments first introduced it. And we can thank Alberta for being the first to introduce and pass a carbon tax in North America. Once British Columbia and Quebec followed, it was up to the Feds to introduce it. And I'm sure your family once immigrated to Canada and were considered newcomers, and were probably hated by someone at the time. I wonder how they felt about that.

Most of the positive and neutral comments seem to come from outside Canada.

[@CarlitoVillarrica]

The most hated PM other than Trudeau junior

[@DF99993]

Harper? Diefenbaker? Lots of hated PMs. Soon to be Polievre...

[@rhonda1505]

I agree with you on Mulroney. But, Harper is second.

[@AStri-zg5xc]

[@Skeldann]

I remember when the Conservatives had integrity & actually stood for something... Nobody in politics today will do the right thing for this country

[@lizliz4186]

The right thing is subjective. What you think is right might not be what i think it's right or what my neighbour thinks is right and so on.

[@theprimeministerthatstolef9964]

@Skeldann....Mulroney was crook....Poillevre is not

[@RustySporks]

@@theprimeministerthatstolef9964Mulroney was intelligent, Poilievre is not. And neither are you if you seriously think any politician isn't a crook.

[@tedpoplawski4325]

You mean the same Mulroney caught with a bag full of money? Can’t recall Poilievre having any such scandal..@@RustySporks
