I'm using a lot of digital ink to say that the carbon tax will not reduce global emissions because
1) it only targets Canadians
2) Canadian heating and driving accounts for less then half a percent of global emissions
3) making essentials expensive without providing an affordable alternative won't significantly reduce usage, it will just make things more expensive
Canadians are better off without a carbon tax, and the world won't see a difference either way. It is a stupid idea and it needs to go.
