You know, there was just a small chance that the Liberals could have gotten away with giving a timely political break to the Atlantic provinces by suspending the carbon tax on heating oil for home use. I’m sure I was personally well into my 30s as an Albertan before I learned that many homes out East are still heated in that picturesque 19th-century manner. “Wait, you burn liquid fuel? That sits in a big tank? And it has to be delivered in a truck?” I didn’t have a similarly mind-bending WTF experience until quite recently, when I heard how many Ontarian homeowners are (inexplicably) renting their water heaters from somebody.
