Perception gap plagues Canada’s carbon price. Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions are down, but so is public support for its carbon pricing policy. Let’s explore why. (Jan 2024)

I think it's cool how public opinion doesnt matter when it's about legalizing marijuana or ending Citizen's United, but when it comes to literally saving our species from the ravages of climate change it's like "sorry bro we need everyone on board"

What a clown show

That graph was made to make the reduction look more impressive than it actually is by starting the Y axis at 12.

They also seem to completely ignore the pandemic when it comes to explaining the sudden decline of emissions in 2020 which obviously had a dramatic effect. Remember that emissions went down worldwide during that time.

And then they make no mention of inflation when they talk about the growth of the GDP after the beginning of the pandemic, suggesting that somehow the tax caused the increase in GDP.

I'm all for measures to reduce emissions but this article is purposefully misleading and counterproductive to the effort.
