Saskatchewan's Brad Wall says he is open to broader carbon price in future

REGINA - Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall says he is open to a broader price on carbon in the future, but now is not the time for a new tax.

Speaking the day after his Saskatchewan Party won its third majority, Wall reiterated that he believes his province already has a price on carbon because it sells CO2 captured from its Boundary Dam power plant to oil companies.

But he isn't ruling out a boarder application of a carbon price down the road.

The federal Liberal government believes carbon pricing is the best way to reduce emissions and spur green technology.

Some provinces, such as Alberta and British Columbia, favour a carbon tax.

Other provinces, such as Ontario and Quebec, have indicated they would rather see emissions capped and credits traded among polluters.

Wow man, you just can't see the forest through the trees, can ya?

Devil's in the details bud.... Wall can ratchet-up carbon taxes in many different ways, can't he?

Hell, once Justine gets a national carbon price established, AB & Sask can collect that tax on behalf of all Cdns and apply that cash to more CCS and tech efforts in their home provinces.

Convenient that the cash doesn't really need to make it to Ottawa, huh?

.... Sucker:lol:
