It's not really a tax

Just think of it as a "pollution premium"...
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty is changing his tune about federal leader Stephane Dion’s carbon tax plan.

McGuinty, who had vetoed the idea of a carbon tax in Ontario, now says he “likes the sound” of Dion’s plan, which was unveiled Thursday.
Yeah... imagine my surprise.

After previously labelling Mr. Dion's plan “insane” and “crazy,” Mr. Harper continued to firebomb the Liberal proposal with indelicate language.

“The carbon tax plan is like the national energy program in the sense that the national energy program was designed to screw the West and really damage the energy sector — and this will do those things,” Harper told a small crowd in Saskatoon.

This is different in that this will actually screw everybody across the country.”
Indelicate language!!!

Quick... call the CHRC!!!
