Carbon Tax

[bentonhavin]

It is unfortunate that I cannot climb on the bandwagon that would be in favor of carbon taxation...from history of past government programs that uses taxes to curb what ails society, this is going to be just another cash cow for whatever sitting government that acquires their constituents hard earned wages for their own political agendas! ( In B.C., I.C.B.C.comes to mind) The biggest mistake any government could make is calling a new program with the word "tax" on the end!

^^^ Exactly, Province of BC carbon tax brings into general revenue coffers just shy of $495,000,000 in 2015.
