Liberal leadership candidate Mark Carney promises to switch Justin Trudeau ’s carbon tax to a corporate tax that will be hidden from public view, but which consumers will still pay in the form of high prices.

Carney 's version comes with tariffs and it's going to magically attract hundreds of billions in new investment and create hundreds of thousands of new, well-paying jobs.

It puts a huge burden on the oil and gas sector, which Carney said would pay in two ways.

This really isn't a radical change from the current tax.
