Eby Dismisses Poilievre's Call for B.C. to Oppose Federal Carbon Tax Hike, Calling it 'Baloney Factory' Campaign Tactic
• B.C. Premier David Eby dismisses letter from Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre asking province to oppose federal carbon tax increase set for April 1, calling it a “baloney factory” campaign tactic
• Poilievre letter asks B.C. to join 7 other provinces in asking Prime Minister Trudeau to halt planned 23% carbon tax hike
• Eby says B.C. would get less money back if it didn't administer tax increase itself on federal government's behalf
• Poilievre says tax hike equals extra 18 cents per liter of fuel and Canadians can't afford it
• Federal carbon tax policy designed as financial incentive to cut fossil fuel use and transition to greener energy; 80% of households get more money back than they pay
