RE:RE:RE:Mr Socks Conservative Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach introduced carbon taxes as a way to fund carbon reduction projects. He was roundly criticized by party faithful and industry leaders so very quickly dropped it. Our current NDP Premier campaigned on improving the world image of oil sands and reducing the environmental impact of oil sands products in part by reintroducing a Carbon Tax which was also on the federal agenda. Home owners like me get small carbon tax rebate to compensate for the increased cost to industry. Industry can tap this resource for carbon reduction projects. Schools and kids are getting the money right now. No problem, They will probably have to clean up the mess industry leaves behind. DF
