Marcos, The problem with a carbon tax, is that the government's voter base in Torontario would shoulder most of the burden. With looming electrical power shortages and natural gas shortages, the Liberals in Torontario will soon be freezing in the dark. It won't take long for Torontarians to express their outrage at the increase in their utility bills, and the erosion of their disposable income. This will result in a cry for price controls and or nationalizing the power utility and and oil and gas assets for the public interest. Now that Cretein has absolute power, who knows what edicts he will issue in order to placate his eastern power base? When one considers the looming recession to follow the implosion of the high tech bubble economy, and the resultant dramatic decrease in tax revenue to Ottawa, there will be immense pressure on the Federal Liberal government to be seen to be taking stern pro-active measures in the public and national(Torontario's) interest. I can only hope that western provincial governments will have the backbone to answer Federal Liberal government edicts by stopping coal and uranium shipments to Ontario power plants, and turning off the gas and oil pipelines.
