Jagmeet Singh, leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP), has recently shifted the party's stance on the consumer carbon levy, signaling a distancing from previously supporting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's policy on carbon pricing. This move has sparked reactions, including from Trudeau, who expressed confusion and concern over the NDP's changing position, emphasizing the importance of continuing efforts to combat climate change. Despite the NDP's apparent shift, reports by @markramzyy suggest that the party still claims support for a consumer carbon levy. The situation has prompted discussions on the implications for the coalition between Singh's NDP and Trudeau's government, especially given the NDP's historical support for the carbon tax, including a recent vote to increase it by 23%. The NDP has voted for Trudeau's carbon tax 22 times and vows to keep the carbon tax Trudeau government in power until fall 2025, as reported by @Robertopedia.

Jagmeet Singh & the NDP have voted for Trudeau's carbon tax 22 times (most recently as of 3 weeks ago when they voted to hike it 23%!!). They vow to keep the carbon tax Trudeau government in power until fall 2025. The carbon tax coalition of Singh/Trudeau is not worth the cost.…
Trudeau responds to the NDP's lack of support for the carbon tax. The PM says now is a time "to do more to fight climate change, not less." Trudeau adds he "feels for" Jagmeet Singh but doesn't "entirely understand" the lack of support for the tax. https://t.co/dh39RL8IFZ https://t.co/k5ChrImcrK
