Headlines should be: Poor turnout for hyped protest.
Only a couple of dozen people of 41 million Canadians bothered to protest carbon pricing (and their rebate) increase. Not surprising there are almost no shots of crowds protesting in the news - because it would look pathetic showing half a dozen people screaming at traffic and everyone ignoring them. Opposition staffers got to wear their custom printed shirts though, so at least they seem happy.

One way totals:
BCF w/ car: $129.95 25kgCO2
BCF w/o car: $80.40 25kgCO2
SeaAir: $502.80 38kgCO2
Hullo Ferry: $180.56 46.8kgCO2
These are the kinds of conversations we should be having around carbon pricing, affordability, and responsibility. Not stupid nonsense "axe-the-tax” click bait crap.
