"On Sunday, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley announced her province would introduce a carbon tax. Starting in 2017, the price will be $20 a tonne of carbon emissions, rising to $30 a tonne in 2018.

That cost will be borne by industry and consumers alike." Well, DUH. There IS no-one else to charge for the cost. That is what the Naive Dopey Parasites platform REALLY is: create grossly expensive messes and regress society back far enough that it will take decades to recover from. And that is just a small part of politicians' ecoplans in general. And the banks and whatnot just love it because everyone will be borrowing even more. Owning debt is massive power.
Gee whiz Mrs G. You sound exactly like a Sask Party Election ad.

no - Harper avoided that penalty by pulling Canada out of the accord... he boldly pronounced his alternate "made in Canada" solution... and then, per his norm, proceeded to completely ignore his own emission reduction target/commitment.

by the by, will the U.S., as a signatory to the Kyoto Accord, be settling it's money due in regards to its efforts to heavily influence the treaty makeup... to heavily influence other countries in also signing on? Surely, in the face of all that big-time U.S. influence on Kyoto, the U.S. should pay sumthin for failing to domestically ratify it... wouldn't you say?

All bullcrap to sustain their gubmint funding. What do you expect gubmint scientists to say?

they already work for the government... no additional funding required! :lol:

"Naive Dopey Parasites"??? You're so clever...

by the by, care to offer comment on why those most significant industry execs were together with Premier Notley in announcing the platform... on why they support it? Care to offer comment on why, in lead-up over the past year, oil companies have been calling for a carbon tax... a 'price on carbon'?

No actually it was PM Cretian that signed onto Kyoto and promptly chucked in the garbage . But hey don't let facts get in the way of a good argument .

no - perhaps re-read what I wrote... I most correctly related the circumstance of Harper formally pulling Canada out of the Kyoto Accord. And you don't know what you're talking about as to what the Liberal party did and planned to do before Harper, in 2006, began to abandon and turn around what the Liberal party had set in motion. Don't let "your facts" get in the way of reality.

Nice avatar by the way . Does it make you feel special taking the photo of another to describe yourself ?

it makes me feel, as you say, "special' when it clearly rankles the likes of you and your ilk! By the by... your avatar is a mountain... how does that, as you say, describe yourself?

Putting a tax on the most critical input to any agricultural and industrial economy, or even worse throwing money away into 'carbon credits' fraud.. put on top of the massive damage alreay done to the economy through Free Trade and Monetarism.. will throw the Canadian economy into an inflationary tailspin.. and ultimately a prolonged Depression we haven't seen since the 30s. It could be worse than that, and longer.
