Man....we made out like bandits!
If you go back into the platforms of all three major parties, the Liberal's and the NDP had unconditional cap and trades. The Conservatives did not have cap and trade in their platform at all.

When Harper talked about Cap and Trade he said that it would not be implemented unless the U.S. implemented a cap and trade strategy and Canada's would be implemented on a sector by sector basis so that it would not harm the Canadian economy.
