ONTARIO AND QUEBEC GET TOGETHER ON A CAP-AND-TRADE SYSTEM FOR EMISSIONS

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL

Finally, an act with which I can agree with McGuinty.

Harper's weird little mob is only disparages cap-and-trade because they fear pressure for its being extended to the world's filthiest energy project, the tarsands.

In other words, they put narrow regional interests ahead of national ones.

Cap-and-trade is a proven, fairly easy-to-implement, approach.

Now if Dion would just drop his outdated idea of a carbon tax, we'd be on our way towards real progress.
