I wish politics/government was more about governing and doing what's best for your people/province/country rather than doing things to ensure you win the next election.
the carbon tax is a sales tax.

The carbon tax is pretty much a consumer tax and it goes to general accounting.

Adding a sales tax on top of that is stupid unless you go to a zero income tax model and tax everything based on consumption.
