Nope. This is just human bias for round numbers. Fundamentally there is very little difference between 49.9% and 50.1%. As I mentioned in another thread, as production gets more and more capital heavy, taxes will need to get more and more progressive to maintain an equitable society.

Maybe. Negotiate means we'd have to give something up, and we can't commit to this without knowing what the cost will be. On the whole, NAFTA has been great for Canada.

Again, nope. Set a price on carbon that pays for its effects, then let the market figure it out.
