I think its a foregone conclusion. Remember what happened when Dion started parroting his energy tax during the federal election. He got crushed, especially west of the Manitoba border.

I guarantee you if Rachel had started talking about a carbon tax during her campaign people would have plugged their nose and voted for Prentice or voted for wildrose and we would have probably had a right wing minority government. Remember also that during the election we were already seeing the economy sliding into the tank a carbon tax would have been jumped on during the campaign as a direct attack by the NDP on our primary industry.

As it stands even now if you look at the polling I think nearly 70% of Alberta are strongly opposed to this carbon tax.

If Rachel would have run on a carbon tax, she probably would have finished in third place and be looking for work shortly afterwords.
