Hi Friend,

On Thursday, both the federal and the BC NDP dropped even the pretense of
caring about climate action.

The "No-Discernible-Principles" party has reminded BC voters that it was
the BC NDP who coined the slogan "Axe the Tax" nearly two decades before
Pierre Poilievre. In fact, that anti-climate campaign backfired, and BC
voters supported the carbon tax in 2009.

Now, federal leader Jagmeet Singh echoes Pierre Poilievre in a fact-free
rant, promising a vague NDP climate policy… eventually.

HERE ARE THE KEY FACTS THAT SINGH DECIDED TO IGNORE:

* Leading economists and climate policy experts around the world praise
revenue-neutral carbon emissions pricing as one of the most important, if
not THE most important, tools to combat global warming.
* BC has had this tool since 2008, and Canada adopted it in 2018. We know
it works! So why would a so-called progressive party turn its back on a
proven solution? It's a backward-looking policy move that is clearly an
attempt to pull back votes the NDP is losing to the Conservatives.
* The NDP can now kiss any meaningful climate policy goodbye. It has been
clear for years that Singh would not oppose pipelines or fracking for fear
of offending provincial New Democrats.

Now it's clear: climate-concerned voters have only one party on the ballot,
and it's Green.

P.S. For background on carbon pricing, a new book by BC climate expert Tom
Pedersen [2] is highly recommended by our leader Elizabeth May.
