Gnu, I agree discussiong a Carbon tax during an election campaign is political suicide (the former Liberal leader found out). Is a carbon tax part of the current Liberal platform. If so, I haven't seen it.

However, you are actually paying a carbon tax (maybe not actually called that, but, it is the same thing) now for your electricity, heating oil and each time you fill up your car. I believe you folks in NB just added a few cents to yours a week or so ago. The NDP government in NS added one when they increased the HST after being elected. Few politicians mention increasing ytaxes until after an election. I suspect they are all the same on thet one, except the politically innocents.
