You might want to do some research on that as it appears you and myriad others are getting sucked into the propaganda being spread by right-wing political parties and other parties who have an interest in dividing us and spreading ignorance and misinformation in the face of science and actual facts. I won’t do the hard work for you but in summary, a carbon tax is a conservative idea that makes markets more fair and efficient by applying a price on a negative externality. Free market and libertarian proponents usually don’t like it when economic transactions effects the freedom of others. Allowing fossil fuels to be burned without taking into account the negative costs they have on the climate and other humans ends up with an inefficient and unfair market that passes on the costs to others. So no, the carbon tax is not a Liberal or liberal idea. Regulations would be. So please do everyone a favor and do your own research and stop wasting our time having these tired old discussions over and over again. Frankly it’s embarrassing this is still happening in 2019. Be better.
