It's a ridiculously stupid idea.

What is the point of "carbon tax" if it doesn't hit at the pumps or in air travel? The reason that Dion has these two OBVIOUS exemptions is this: Ontario has the auto industry, Air Canada is based in Montreal...

Once again, a central Canadian politician is legislating stupid laws that hurt the people out West and provide exemptions for people out East.

WTF do we have carbon taxes if one of the biggest polluters is exempt? It's a retarded idea. Dion is more than happy to tax the **** out of the energy companies out West but when it comes to passing on the same kind of taxes that hurt Ontario and Quebec, he's sure to provide exemptions there. What a joke.

And of course this is "fine by you". You're an example of what is wrong with Canada, and you're proud of it. Take a hike.

Edit: Not to mention that Quebec and Ontario (and BC) have the luxury of generating electricity via Hydro. Something Alberta does not have the luxury of. Why should Alberta be punished because we don't have the ability to use hydro for power?
