Mark Carney

Mark Carney won't say yes to pipelines — and that says everything.

He keeps getting asked a simple question: Do you support building new pipelines to get Canadian energy to new markets?

And every time, he dodges.

Just the other day, when asked in French, Carney replied: "Not necessarily pipelines, but maybe pipelines — we'll see."

That's not leadership. That's a slick non-answer from a man who's built his career trying to shut down Canada's energy industry.

Canadians don't believe Mark Carney's claim that a hidden carbon on business won't cost them personally.

A national poll asking Canadians who they think ultimately pays the cost of industrial carbon taxes and here are the results:

44 per cent say most of the cost is passed on to consumers
26 per cent say some of the cost is passed on to consumers
9 per cent say businesses pay most of the cost
21 per cent don't know
And the media jumped on the poll.

"Carbon taxes on businesses still make life more expensive, Canadians say," was the headline that ran in the Toronto Sun.
