If we want to cut down on GHG emmissions from diesel, then we should buy locally more often (of course this can be a problem when you live in the west and the north).

Surely a small cut in fuel taxes will not affect consumption much, if at all. But, it's pretty widely regarded that pricing carbon is necessary to cost-efficiently reduce emissions. What Harper has proposed is to take a step in the opposite direction.
Further proof that he could give a shart about climate change.
