We got to get more become more productive as an economy.
We need to start building things and doing things and leaning forward and being more effective.
It's it's true to say, for example, that as Pierre Polyp m again made the argument, get rid of the consumer carbon price.
And the cost of gasoline will go down.
Gasoline in Lower Mainland, we have the highest gas prices in the country, it was $2.25 a liter about 18 months ago, two years ago.
It was $1.35 yesterday when I drove to and from downtown.
So getting rid of the consumer carbon price plus things that are happening around the world, uh, et cetera, that has.
But the argument that was also levered by conservatives that if we just get rid of the
consumer carbon price, then that'll have a a watershed effect on the whole of the economy and prices on everything will go down.
That's not true.
And it hasn't happened.
It happened on on one specific commodity and it was much more complicated than just that.
But it did have an effect and did work in that one area, but it didn't have a broader impact.
And so doubling down on that argument and saying we need to get rid of the uh not the consumer carbon price, but the industrial carbon price, and that'll happen the impact.
That's
not true.
It it might help, but it's not gonna have the broad based impact that I think we're looking for, which is the real need to get incomes to rise relative to the cost of goods in our economy.
let me let me revert to type.
Not really why though?
I mean and by the way, is that a bad thing?
