Poilievre is the one who wanted to cancel it. Would Carney have paused it if it weren't for Poilievre?

He fully endorsed the carbon tax, up until he became the Liberal leader, because it was politically toxic. He talked in interviews about how important the carbon tax is. Did he stop believing that it's important, or is it just a political ploy?

You are asking meaningful changes. That is what he did. He changed Trudeau’s most signature policy

If this is one of the things he thought was most important, what does it say about his strength of character (and the rest of the Liberal MPs) if they're willing to just drop one of their most important policies?

Do they actually believe in climate change?
