I'd be flipping my freaking lid if I were a crazy ass NDP voter. Actually, I'm flipping my lid anyway. I want to write off taxes before I pay taxes too.
This is absolutely correct and why a carbon tax doenst matter in a properly designed royalty scheme.

The royalty should be set and cost - reasonable investment return based on risk = governments take. If you increase the cost by adding a carbon tax you still need the same ROI to justify projects so the governments take goes down or investment in the industry goes down.
