A group of Canadian economists has publicly supported the Liberal Party's carbon pricing policy amidst growing political debate, as highlighted in 'An Open Letter from Economists on Canadian Carbon Pricing'. They ardently defended the policy, countering the political rhetoric that has intensified around the issue, particularly under hashtags like #cdnpoli, #carbontax, and #carbonlevy. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized premiers who have complained about the carbon price for not offering better alternatives, emphasizing that critics, including Pierre Poilievre with his 'axe the tax' slogan, deny the dangers of climate change without proposing a viable alternative plan to cut emissions. The Liberal Party claims the plan not only combats climate change but also benefits Canadians financially, a point contested by opponents like Poilievre.
Does anyone actually care what a bunch of economists think of the carbon tax? The Liberals think so. Thats how clued out they are.

Pierre Poilievre's deceptive 'axe the tax' slogan lets him deny the dangers of climate change. If politicians are serious about climate change, what are they going to replace it with? #Opinion by @GillianSteward https://t.co/0wmfpAtkuO

"The main opponents to the policy haven't offered an alternative plan to cut emissions, and certainly haven't put forward an idea that would be more affordable, the economists argue" #cdnpoli Economists defend Liberals' carbon price... https://t.co/wyYBNu882e
Economists agree, our plan puts more money in your pockets as we fight against climate change. But Pierre Poilievre won't let facts get in the way. He's trying to take money out of Canadians’ pockets. Sign to stop him: https://t.co/9OWDAfSD4h https://t.co/LnXQiDW6p3
