The Toronto Sun has a story about a poll by Forum Research on the carbon tax. If accurate, this looks problematic for the Trudeau government.
According to the poll, two-thirds of Canadians say the carbon tax will affect how they vote. And among those polled who have a position on the matter, a clear majority oppose the tax.

To make matters worse for the government, the people who oppose the tax are reportedly more motivated to vote on election day than those who support it.
Of course, even if the poll is accurate, the regional breakdown will be important. And there's no way to predict what will ultimately emerge as the ballot question in October.
But it sure looks like the government's hysteria about a "climate emergency" isn't helping the government. Angus Reid recently reported that only 15% of Canadians think Trudeau is the federal leader who is best suited to deal with climate change.
