Pre-Election Messaging Rolls Out as Ottawa Confirms Federal Carbon Tax for Alberta – The Energy Mix
In recent weeks, the opinion research
has told a different story, with an Ipsos survey in April pointing
to a surge in climate concern, Abacus Data estimating
that nine million Canadians see the climate crisis as their top or top-two
ballot box issue, and 64% of Canadians telling
Nanos Research and the Globe and Mail that provinces shouldn’t opt out of the
carbon tax or propagandize against it. But surveys over the same span showed
mounting climate concern in Australia, where a climate-denying, rabidly
pro-coal Liberal National Coalition government still eked
out a surprise victory in an election last weekend.
