GOLDSTEIN: Carney’s carbon tax plan is modern day snake oil

Get ready for buyer’s remorse on carbon taxes if Mark Carney and the Liberals win the April 28 election.

The reason is the uncritical media reporting of Carney’s so-called plan to kill the consumer carbon tax and replace it with a better system.

What he’s actually doing is a classic “bait and switch” manoeuvre — promising Canadians a less costly, more efficient carbon tax regime during the election, the unspoken part being that he will replace it with a more costly, less transparent system after April 28.
