By all accounts though, cap and trade is not being implemented the same between all three parties. As has been pointed out, the CPC would not go the route of cap and trade unless the US does as well. This would mean not putting ourselves at a disadvantage to potential American competitors. The NDP/Liberals woud implement cap and trade regardless of what the US does. That's a pretty big difference and by constantly glossing over this, I think you're the one that is being disingenuous.
