Sure, and the carbon tax is widely recognized as the best and least expensive method of driving behavioral change and ghg emission reductions. It also has a progressive feature of being refunded back largely to the bottom 90% of households.

I've heard Pierre's argument on this and let me just say "nuh uh, hair man bad" is not convincing me.

I think the carbon tax opposition is mostly a communication problem, because as you said most people actually receive money from this. It's just sad to think it might disapperar after the next elections, because i feel like it is the one policy we have that actually works.

Hell, I support the carbon tax, but I couldn't tell you how much I've paid, how much I've received (well okay, I could look that up), or what the overall environmental impact has been.
