Somebody said “carbon tax” and the ink started flying. One writer said the tax is a great idea as “most” Canadians would not even notice the extra $2,000 to $2,600 a year it would cost them. That got some reaction. “Most, includes pensioners on a fixed income and low income wage earners. Yes it will be a problem,” came a swift rebuttal. Another writer said the carbon tax had nothing to do with reducing our C02 contribution to the atmosphere.
