While I realize this article is about Canada's need to raise carbon taxes to meet targets where is the other sides of the equation?  
First where is the carrot rather than the stick to reward those with policies and practices that help lower carbon emissions?  It isn't enough that we only will pay less in taxes.  If I stop farming tomorrow and plant trees on my 300+ acres shouldn't I get some of the spoils from the carbon taxes?
Second when are these environmental economists going to crunch some numbers on tariff and import taxes on countries that export to Canada that don't either have carbon taxes or have high carbon emissions?
