How about, if you and anyone else hears it from the actual Minister? Out of his own lips. This is a short version, you can watch the full interview.

LP Claim: Canadians will get more money back with this tax. For sure. No questions asked.
That is either incorrect or a lie, your pick based on your political bias.
Goal post moved. Yeah. It will cost more given real world context and if the models hold, but why are you a dick having an issue with that?
"Why are you a climate denying?" But that is no the point or claim, the point is that you said that was not going to happen. That most people would get money back under your magical plan. The trend to inflation will make food, local food more expensive.
Yet I do not think making importing food from say, Mexico to Canada artificially cheaper than of growing it locally so we can have a fake, smaller or cheaper footprint as a good idea. Is not big picture thinking.
CBC take, for those who want some facts and examples, they leave out the carbon footprint of exporting food to us, so the footprint of Mexican, USA or other growers, so did the Liberals. Also, I am a Liberal, just not blind.

My comment was more on the wanton discount of expert opinion, not of the particular thoughts raised in this article. Broadly discounting expert opinion with preference to the common person, as this "spokesperson" has, is an incredibly dangerous paradigm to push.
