Since Canadian forests remove far more GHG than we are creating , Canada should be the last country in the world to consider carbon taxes.  Considering our very cold climate, probably no country in the world would gain more from an increase in temperatures. Considering that our economy is so dependent on trade with the United States and there is no chance that a carbon tax will be applied there, our economy doesn't need this anchor. A carbon tax means politicians take money out of your pocket and spend it for you. When have politicians ever spent your money in an intelligent and rational way? I live in Ontario so I'm very aware of a government waste of tax payer money.
