In a significant shift in Canadian politics, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has publicly distanced his party from supporting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's carbon tax policy, following a vote to increase the carbon tax by 23% on gas, heat, and groceries. This move comes amidst Singh's declining approval ratings, now in the negatives, and the growing unpopularity of the Liberal government. The NDP's change in stance, including seeking alternatives to the carbon tax and admitting the party lacks a concrete environmental plan, has sparked discussions among political commentators. Despite the internal and external pressures, Singh has not confirmed whether the NDP would cancel the federal carbon tax. This political turmoil unfolds as Trudeau calls for a first ministers' meeting on the carbon tax, highlighting the policy's divisive nature among Canadians.
