IF it was about reducing GHG emissions, how do the Liberals plan to handle the reduced revenue they'd receive? Less emissions = less revenue for the government. Will they increase the income taxes, raise the carbon tax, reduce program spending? What?
It is a complete fallacy that this carbon tax is designed to reduce GHGs (which, by the way, Canada contributes what - 2% of the overall GHG emissions world wide - meaning that even if we reduced to 0 total GHG emissions it wouldn't make a tangible dent in the overall GHG of the planet, and any reduction we make will be absorbed by increases from China and India in a matter of months, if not days).

Whoa dude, I'm on your side. I was just stating what the Liberals are saying to prove my point. No need to go crazy on me!
