Good summary of the NDP's climate plan's effects to date, and what's at stake if the UCP remove carbon pricing. Some eye opening numbers (and reasonable criticisms) in this Twitter thread:

I know conservatives are outraged at the carbon tax, but it's a market solution that's just starting to pick up momentum. It's also filling some of the revenue gap from oil and gas royalties so we can invest back into Alberta. Slashing it now wouldn't just send a horrible message to the world, it's bad policy.
