Mark Carney and Chrystia Freeland have promised, vaguely, to cancel Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ’s carbon tax.

For now, the carbon tax aka the consumer fuel charge will increase April 1 by 18.75% to $ 95 per tonne of industrial greenhouse gas emissions.

It's just one of 149 government programs meant to address climate change, even as the Trudeau government remains far behind its targets of reducing emissions by at least 40% compared to 2005 levels by 2030 .

That throws the value of the $52.5 billion federal and provincial taxpayers are paying propping up Canada ’s fledging EV sector into doubt because it’s so integrated with the U.S. market, especially if Trump imposes tariffs on the Canadian auto sector on April 2 , which would throw the North American auto market into chaos.
