Your lack of belief in personal responsibility is noted.
And the thing is that everyone in Canada will be paying, so that's a step. Everyone in China will be paying in a couple years (they've committed to a national cap and trade scheme by 2020). And on a tax per litre basis, Europeans are already paying 3-4 times what you pay. So yeah. If we continue to delay to do something until someone else does that will be the end of us. Need to bite the bullet and move forward.
