Climate change crusader Al Gore praises Ontario's cap and trade system during Toronto visit

Former U.S. vice-president and climate change crusader Al Gore is praising Ontario's cap-and-trade system, calling it better than a carbon tax.

Gore, who sat down with Premier Kathleen Wynne in a one-on-one interview in front of hundreds of students at Ryerson University on Thursday, says the way Ontario currently fights climate change is the "superior" system.

He says cap and trade lets government work directly with emitters to cut carbon emissions over time.

Carbon pricing is shaping up to be a key issue in the province's spring election, with all four candidates vying to lead the opposition Progressive Conservatives vowing to scrap cap-and-trade and fight the imposition of a federal carbon tax, if they're elected June 7.

Why are Americans stumping for Canadian politicians? Last week Bill Nye with Trudeau and now Gore with Wynne , is that not collusion or something ?

Bill Nye the Engineer guy. Maybe he can fabricate a manbearpig trap?

Cap and trade is turning out to be a dud.

Ontario is REALLY scaring you? You must be awefully saunsitive. There is hard!y a more bland, benign, white bread place like Ontario on this continent. If Ontario scares you, you must be completely petrified of Quebec.

It didn't scare me. It just pushed me on to greener pastures in Alberta.

Even through a devastating recession I was able to earn over double what I made in Ontario and pay half of what I did for insurance and hydro.

I loved Ontario, I just couldn't afford to live there anymore.

It's too bad that so many folks in Ont have been negatively impacted by poor political decisions.

I've heard the stories of the insane hydro prices that people are being saddled with, it's truly unbelievable

The Ontario PCs tying their star to federal carbon tax?

WTF is that?

Is that why all the twit listers are backing them? To make sure they get a federal carbon tax?
