It was a heated Monday vote over exempting the carbon tax on home heating. Just last month, McDonald became the only Liberal to back a non-binding Conservative motion to repeal the carbon tax entirely. He then did a brief media tour to claim that the carbon tax was rendering his party unelectable all along the Atlantic Coast. But on a much less sweeping Conservative motion, McDonald changed his mind and voted the Liberal line. The only material thing that’s changed in the interim is a Trudeau government “carve-out” on the carbon tax for home heating oil.
