There is pretty much unanimous agreement among economists that a carbon tax is needed and its not even close anymore. There was a study done where 87% of economists that replied Agreed or Strongly Agreed to implementing a carbon tax.
Right. And I agree with them. Let the free market innovate its way away from carbon.

Wrong. Most people don't have a problem with the tax, they have a problem with the revenue going into the government of the day's hands to spend as they see fit (whether that be the NDP, Liberals, Wild Rose, or PCs).


Cute post though. I look forward to reading more of your contributions.
