Great initiative.  In BC, the $30/tonne levy on carbon emissions gets returned to taxpayers as reduced income and corporate taxes.  I estimate that I as well as a majority of British Columbians are better off financially because of the levy.  I can't wait for it to go to $100/tonne or even higher.  Only the minority  that produces a lot of CO2 need to be concerned about the levy.

I am surprised that Conservatives are opposed to this. This is a classic market based initiative which should be part of the Conservative policy manual.  Mulroney was a leader in just such a scheme to reduce ozone depleting chemicals.  The treaty is named the "Montreal Protocol" and was hugely successful in closing the ozone hole over the antarctic.
