For someone who supposedly prefers market based solutions, I'm left wondering why you would support the carbon tax. It is solely nothing more than a wealth redistribution exercise and a cash cow for governments. It does zero to mitigate the concerns for climate change.
Where we live public transit is infrequent and inconvenient so a carbon tax does little to facilitate changes in my behaviour. I just bought a new truck yet there were no government incentives to buy a fuel saving V6 yet lots of manufacturer incentives if I chose the V8. Why is that? Why not incentives to facilitate positive changes in behavior? 
Why does the left always think another tax is a solution to every problem. Again, I think it is because they rely on government to think for them. Your child is overweight so the solution is a tax on soft drinks. What ever happened to sending your children outside to play? A tax on empty houses, why not offer incentives to ensure people want to rent out their spaces. 
There.
