They seem to have forgotten they've imposed a $20/tonne carbon tax themselves.

The NDP are just going to NDP, I guess. |
Try not to be disingenuous, the answer is right there in the first sentence:
Quote:
In Ottawa Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the federal Liberal government would set a minimum carbon price for provinces in 2018 of $10 per tonne, rising to $50 by 2022.
In the House of Commons, Trudeau said it will be up to provinces how they implement the plan, with Ottawa prepared to act if they don’t.
Notley’s NDP government will introduce its own broad-based carbon tax based on the equivalent of $20 per tonne of carbon emissions on Jan. 1, 2017, rising to $30 in 2018, with no further increases planned at the moment.

I really hate having to defend the NDP, so try to limit the amount I have to do it.
