Canada's "Carbon Tax"

Post by RAM »

Note that Canada just enacted a "carbon tax" on all energy producing companies there to give it more revenue to meet the agreed upon Kyoto Protocol level of reducing carbon emmissions to 6% under 1990 levels by 2012, which the PM says is impossible to meet.

The logic in taxing energy producers for producing energy that Canada exists upon leaves me wondering. Seems more logical to tax the users of energy. They are the ones doing the carbon emitting.

Whatever the logic, guess who will end up paying the tax anyhow? The users.

As one of the Canadian members of ORCA, it is my duty to tell you that our PM is always right and you had better keep sniping at Big Al (because you do it so well... LOL)

we should all turn our countries off and let China pollute us to death - in accordance with Kyoto.
