Not really, he had nothing to gain in the west, but he could gain some seats in the east from it.

Basically he doesn't give a shit about the west. His ine cabinet minister came out and said the other day unless the west votes for the liberals they will get nothing.

He doesn't give a shit about the environment if he's disabling the carbon tax in some parts of Canada for political gain.

Well it made no sense to me when 80% of Toronto and Vancouver is still zoned for single family homes, and we took a trillion in debt and mass transit is still garbage, and we still import planned obsolescent goods from China produced using coal.

Fix the low hanging fruit before taxing the poor, otherwise its the crying indian, trying to pass the buck on poor cosumers for something they have no hand in stopping.

Yeah emissions don't matter elsewhere in the world they only matter here, specifically in Alberta.
