The potentially fatal flaw in Dion’s Carbon Tax
Posted by LT in , , on July 4, 2008
If Dion’s Carbon tax pulls in 15 billion dollars then 6 billion of that would come from Saskatchewan and Alberta. If the tax cuts are distributed evenly then only 2 billion would come back to Saskatchewan and Alberta. Saskatchewan and Alberta have 13% of Canada’s population but produce 40% of the carbon.
The logical solution to this problem would be to transfer the carbon tax revenue to the province it is collected in. But that would be a very different plan from the one Dion is proposing.
