BC has already shown the model works.
They've reduced carbon emissions and kept it revenue neutral and have a budget surplus.

That's what I thought, but apparently (can't recall the details) there's more to it than that. I think it includes a little bull sh*tting by Crispy. Maybe the money was channeled inappropriately!
Of course you are right. I find on this forum you have to precede any statement by maybe, perhaps, possibly or some idiot poster will be jumping on your throat.
No they haven't. They drove away middle class family tourism and more people buy gasoline in WA than ever.
CAFE has made a real impact. Taxes, not so much.
Revenue neutral to the government. Not to taxpayers and the corporations. Part of me is shocked at your support of corporate welfare but then again, principle has never been a strong character trait of the left.
Your dishonesty is only overshadowed by your stupidity...

Which I've posted to you before. I can understand why you ignored it then, as you will now.
Just like Crétin who said "I spit on the GST" The shiny pony is considering Hiking it back to what it was before the Conservative cut....
Liberals consider pledge to hike GST
Interesting idea. If we all create carbon taxes and empower the government with their much desired 'global warming taxes' then the only thing left is to sit back and watch the government fail miserably at solving our problems.
Nothing to see here folks. Everything is on the level.
Suncor Energy Inc. has extended its hostile $4.3-billion takeover bid for Canadian Oil Sands Ltd., giving new hope to investors holding out for a richer offer.
Suncor said the all-stock bid for Canadian Oil Sands, its partner in the Syncrude Canada Ltd. joint venture, now expires on Jan. 8. It had previously been slated to expire on Friday.
The extension follows a ruling by the Alberta Securities Commission that gave Canadian Oil Sands until Jan. 4 to look for higher offers under its shareholder rights plan.
Some investors and analysts had predicted Suncor would push back its deadline, given the time and resources it has already poured into wooing Canadian Oil Sands shareholders. It had tried a friendly approach earlier this year but was rebuffed.
“The pressure is clearly on COS’ board and management to prove they are acting in someone’s interest other than their own,” Suncor’s chief executive Steve Williams said in a statement. “The Alberta Securities Commission decision allows COS more time to surface a superior offer from a credible third party, something most analysts see as unlikely.”
In a statement, Canadian Oil Sands urged shareholders to take no action, saying the offer “is substantially undervalued and opportunistic.”

Hardly a half year into their mandate and the NDP have already demonstrated a knack for back room secret deals (using taxpayer money of course) that took the PC"s almost a full 40 years to master. This is going to squash the little guys and there will be plenty of cheap bones for the "big four"* to pick over.
I'm not sure how anyone can possibly see governments using taxpayer money to buy the favour of corporations as a good thing. I'm a big fan of capitalism, but this is CRONY capitalism at it's finest (worst).
