So, consumer carbon price in Canada is dropping to $0 in the next 24 hours (April 1st).
Its fair and easy to expect fuel prices at the pump to drop the applicable $/L.
*But*... 🧵

...What of all the supposed "massive" price increases in other consumer goods, like groceries, that have been attributed to the carbon price by some folks over the years? They claimed the added cost of transporting the goods increased the prices so much that it hurt Canadians. Can we expect a price decrease on all those items as well?
Somehow I doubt it. So either someone will be skimming extra profit off the top, or those folks were falsely attributing the price increases. 🤔
