Video: Carbon Tax — Higher Prices, Fewer Jobs, Higher Emissions

Here's a great video on what the carbon taxes and carbon trade are all about. See how much success (or lack of thereof) the Europeans have with those schemes and at what price. Is that what we want for Canada?
No wonder the scheme didn't work in Europe. After all, those carbon taxes and carbon trades achieve nothing but forcing the polluters to pay some other guy (or the government) to take the blame for emissions. So emissions didn't go down and guess who ended up paying more to cover all the costs of "carbon taxes" and "carbon credits"?..

The Canadian Taxpayers' Federation has launched a petition to the federal and provincial lawmakers to stop the carbon tax. Please don't forget to sign it.

Meanwhile, Stephan Dion said that if elected, he'll implement his carbon tax even if there's a recession. Let's keep that in mind...
