If you actually read the thread people aren't complaining so much about the tax itself. It's the fact that the NDP is charging for carbon use and the idea is to use that money to reduce pollution and be put towards other environmental endeavours. With the money going right into the general tax revenue pile it's pretty easy to look at this as a money grab with no chance of accountability or transparence. BC has the right idea with implementation of the carbon tax.
I think at this point though the NDP has to look at any option to grab more money while attempting to keep their base happy, which is completely ####ed because it has nothing to do with running a province.
