A little less smug condescension from carbon tax proponents and a little less overreaction from its opponents, and we’d be getting somewhere
This is it. We are only days from either the beginning of economic collapse or the beginning of the salvation of the planet. On April 1, the federal carbon tax will be imposed on Ontario. Brace yourselves.
In particular, 80 per cent of people in the provinces about to be treated to the carbon tax say that it has already driven up the cost of gasoline. It seems that the Ontario PC messaging about their efforts to reduce the cost of gas have not made a lasting impression. Somewhat more alarming for Ontarians, the natural gas supplier Enbridge has applied for an 11-per-cent rate increase, blaming it on the federal carbon tax. Though the increase has not yet been approved by the Ontario Energy Board, this is the kind of thing conservatives like to point to when they say the cost of everything will go up.
The economists argue that the climate change debate must be based on facts, a reasonable proposition. They then go on to explore 10 popular arguments against carbon taxes and describe them as “myths,” always a sure sign of an even-handed approach. Try as they might, the economists can’t find a single valid criticism of carbon taxes.
