So no, I wouldn't consider that to be a solution.

On another note, wasn't the opposition parties initial public reaction to the carbon tax negative, yet once the oil companies deemed it good then they did as well? Is that an opposition party or a party that that is a corporate puppet?
Sure, its not 'much' higher than 'some' other provinces (Sask). And yet it is 'much' higher than 'most' other provinces.

Its not the total solution, but its a start. As I've said, and reiterated many times, the private sector cannot be expected to bare the burden alone in regards to wage decreases and job losses.
