Love the stats. Thanks.
For that matter, I'm totally in tune with charging a hefty carbon tax on natural gas that people burn to heat their homes, and even higher carbon taxes on car ownership and fuel. Maybe even just an overall environmental tax based on /sq ft of your home. Add additional carbon/pollution tax on industry too - including manufacturing, O&G, forestry, mining.
I totally agree that we all need to contribute.
Whichever party wants to tackle this politically (hah, good luck) has my vote. It's much easier to just beat the "I hate Alberta and O&G" drum, and attack one industry that's only really worth ~25 seats than to look in the mirror.
