An odd response.
When the British Columbia Liberal Government (a Conservative Government in all but name) announced its own Carbon Tax due to be implemented in July 08, the federal Tories just loved it.
Now it's a horrible idea?
From the page:
"TORONTO -- The Conservative government's pre-emptive strike on Liberal support for a carbon tax intensified Monday as Jim Flaherty, the Finance Minister, warned a business audience the proposal would be disastrous for the Canadian economy.
Liberals are still weeks away from a detailed announcement of their plans, but Conservatives are already on an aggressive campaign to brand the measure -- rumoured to be a central plank of Liberal leader Stephane Dion's election platform -- as a giant tax grab.
"They are considering a massive tax on gasoline and other fuels at a time of rising gas prices," Mr. Flaherty said. "Their idea of economic stimulus seems to be to max out the national credit card [by borrowing] and reach further into the pockets of hardworking Canadians through taxes.""
