Actually I can understand cap and trade, and if implemented fairly without giving breaks to Quebec and Ontario industries it can work. Companies will find ways to reduce their carbon emissions to reduce the cost of credits. This is a market based initiative that gives producers an opportunity to control and improve on their production practices.
Simply stating 'No tanker traffic off the west coast regardless' is the one that really bothers me. That's basically denying the industry the ability to sell it's product to an international market. It would also handcuff LNG ports already under construction at Kitimat. It would also cut back on tankers we already ship from the transmountain pipeline.
