Comment: If two thirds of Canadians do indeed support climate change action (questionable), and if it is a question of how carbon pricing is implemented rather than if (again not fully convinced), then the best proposed plan so far is Michael Chong's national revenue neutral carbon tax.  

Chong's proposal is similar to the BC model, but it is initially revenue negative as large income and corporate tax cuts come first and the carbon price rises in a gradual predictable manner.  In turn a significant amount of government overhead on green funding programs is eliminated, so that markets are left to come up with solutions given the tax signals. 

Trudeau's approach layers carbon tax on top of existing green programs, and of course his additional intervention and spending.  Don't be fooled when he says revenue neutral, as 3 of 4 provinces (so far) have opted for a tax grab.

Chong is a long shot in the CPC race.  I'd rather have no carbon tax than a poorly designed one like the Trudeau 'plan'.
