BlogsCanada: E-GroupMulti-partisan political punditryBC carbon tax- June 25, 2008 The first phase of BC's new carbon tax is coming in shortly: starting July 1, CO2 emissions will be taxed at $10tonne, rising to $30tonne in 2012. There's matching cuts in income tax, so it'll be revenue-neutral. This is an idea that economists and the Green Party have been pushing for years; I think it's a great idea.http://www.blogscanada.ca/egroup/PermaLink.aspx?guid=251b789f-d78d-4e10-8b75-53dce2ab2008 |
