After the debate I watched CBC's "fact checking" segment. One of their points was even though a Carbon Tax is common in Europe, it hasn't lead to green house gas reductions in any kind of a reliable manner except in Denmark. Take it for what its worth, but the "It's being done elsewhere" doesn't mean "It's working elsewhere".
Not too mention that all European countries with a green tax are in deep recession. Germany has unemployment of like... 18% or something crazy.
