Rather than blaming Prime Minister Mark Carney for backsliding on climate change, why don’t the Liberals simply admit their policies under former prime minister Justin Trudeau were misguided, ineffective and ruinously expensive for Canadian taxpayers?

Of course the question answers itself because Liberals never admit they’re wrong.

GOLDSTEIN: C’mon Liberals, admit the Trudeau climate policy doesn't work Back to video

Even when their current leader, the world’s leading corporate spokesman for higher carbon taxes before he became prime minister, acknowledged after becoming PM that under Trudeau’s now-abandoned plan, the Liberals were “not going to reach our 2030 and 2035 climate targets.”

Why? Because, Carney said, it had “too much regulation … not enough action.”

As for the cost to taxpayers of Trudeau’s climate change policies, former environment minister Steven Guilbeault put it at “north of $200 billion” in April 2023. Heaven only knows........
