I'm not sure there's anything market based about the libs approach, and it's certainly not economy wide like the round table suggested. I'm also not sure it has much to do with reducing emissions.

It's a robin hood policy basically. Take money from Alberta and Sask and hopefully buy votes in Ontario and maybe BC. Gotta love politics indeed.

This smells so much like the NEP it scares the crap out of me.
