The unpopular policy is about to get a big taxpayer-funded propaganda boost.
Apparently, the Liberals still think the problem with the carbon tax is that it hasn’t been promoted enough.
According to the Toronto Star, the Liberals are planning a big PR campaign to sell the tax, and they’ll be using your tax dollars to do it:
“The Trudeau government will launch a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign in the year ahead of the next election to promote its carbon pricing plan and the rebates it gives to Canadians, the Star has learned.
Environment and Climate Change Canada is planning a $7-million “climate literacy and action” advertising campaign that would focus on how “carbon pricing reduces emissions and benefits Canadians through the Canada Carbon Rebate,” in addition to other actions to combat climate change, according to a copy of the department’s advertising plan obtained by the Star through an Access to Information request.”
So it’s not enough that the carbon tax takes our hard-earned money. Now the Liberals are using our money to try and trick us into supporting the tax.
