Did overinflated oil prices discourage consumption like a Carbon Tax is supposed to do? That is the purpose of a Carbon Tax is it not?

Why not just bump the GST up 2 points and call it the PTT (Periodic Table Tax) and rip ourselves off on all chemicals?

Too many people are already POd at the good socialist tax now. Had to find something new to fleece the commoners. Since the dumber ones bought into the globull warming thiny it was a natural. Make them feel good about paying a tax.

The deal with the OPEC devil that raised oil 66% to fund everything from windfarms to ports was bipartisan and goes to show the left/right dichotomy doesn't exist and you can't trust anyone.

When you get right down to it is 2or3% easier to swallow than 66%?
