They plan on increasing taxes on the Oil and Gas Sector by about $2 Billion through corporate and cancelling capital expenditure write-offs and then add to that ~$8 Billion in Cap and Trade costs ($60/tonne C02 times current emissions) that will "be used to fund green initiatives" with no strings attached on where the money is spent.

Sorry if I won't be voting to do severe economic damage to my home province's largest industry.
