Alberta to introduce economy-wide carbon tax in 2017

bold moves mentalfloss, bold moves! Considering consumers will receive rebates to compensate for the 4.3¢ hit on gas at the pump... yes, only 4.3¢... not the incorrect 7¢ mentioned by another CC member earlier... not so bad, hey!

considering it was industry lobbying for the carbon tax... is there a problem? A phase out of coal... way to follow the Ontario lead!

wiki says "the umbrella Edmonton Space Science Centre" has been named so since 1984... taking on various name shifts to sub-sections during that time. Apparently, a latest name, "Telus World of Science" has Telus quite comfortable being associated with your suggested "Communist Hippy" labeling. Go figure, hey!

Everybody knows that this "Science" is a leftie liberal thing from the East. Real men don't hold to this "Science" fad.

clearly Harper's "enemies of the state" approach didn't help appease pipeline protests/resistance... clearly Harper's purposeful attempts to disrupt/derail past COP meetings didn't garner any international favour... clearly Harper's purposeful ignoring of his own emission reduction targets/commitments didn't advance market opportunities!

Clearly you are still an idiot.

AKA killing union jobs. And the dippers claim to represent the working people. A responsible government would enhance the coal fired plants since there is several hundred years supply available nearby.
