The big polluters need to lead the way here, and then Canada can follow.

Canada leading the way isn't going to entice the bigger polluters to change, and all they're going to do is take advantage of Canada exiting from the world stage in key resource economic areas.

I get that lifestyle decisions have to change, but crippling people with spanning taxes like a carbon tax really isn't the answer, especially with the Alberta plan which is a general revenue tax and has nothing to do with changing the carbon factor.

The question of Canada's natural climate (Cold weather country for more then half a year) spread out population meaning increased transportation has to be taken into account as well.

Frankly to me, the US and China and others have to quit paying lip service and actually sacrifice things themselves before I would do anything to mirror their programs.
