I realize I'm about to wade into the political swamp by arguing that taxing carbon is a good thing for Canada and for most Canadians. Mr. Pierre Poilievre, leader of his majesty's loyal opposition, has made carbon taxation the key plank in his Conservative party's unofficial election platform. And, if the polls are correct, he has successfully convinced the majority of Canadians that this villainous initiative of the Liberal government's environmental strategy is the root cause of virtually all of this country's economic woes.
