RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Carbon Tax is inflation creator, nothin else But it could, if implemented sensibly. (1) Subject all imports to the carbon tax. (2) Drop the "Climate Action Initiative" idea; it's useless. (3) Publish emissions carbon taxes for all businesses taxed, so that consumers can identify the cleaner choices among them and buy accordingly (if they wish). Ideally, competing businesses will drive down emissions so that they are able to minimize price increases and steal market share from their dirtier competitors.
If the tax is applied to non-competitve markets, nothing will happen. Enbridge is the only gas provider in my region; the carbon tax can't have any effect while Enbridge has no competitor here, so yes, it's simply inflation.
