Two-thirds of Canadians say it is a poor time to increase the carbon tax, with a majority saying they believe the tax on gas is ineffective at tackling climate change.
This is according to a survey conducted by Nanos Research and commissioned by CTV News intended to better understand Canadian perception towards combating climate change through increasing prices on fuel.
“The perception of effectiveness of this tax in order to curb fuel consumption has actually declined over the last while,” said founder and chief data scientist Nik Nanos with Nanos Research. The sentiment against increasing the carbon tax was highest in the prairies, where 79 per cent of survey respondents agreed that the timing for a higher price on carbon is not right.
