June 19, 2008 - Liberal leader Stéphane Dion announced details of the Liberal Party's "Green Shift" carbon tax at a party rally in Ottawa.

The plan includes a tax on carbon emissions against big polluters with tax cuts and rebates for individuals intended to offset increased energy prices caused by the tax.

Dion later challenged Harper to a public debate saying he wants a substantive discussion on the issue.

This carbon tax idea is such eco-fascist totalitarian insanity. The debate over alleged man-made global warming shouldn't even be over in the first place, but of course socialist-style politicians like Dion don't care about any debating or accurate science they just want to use any excuse possible to impose more big government and control over the population. The middle-class and industry is already over burdened enough with government regulations and high taxes.

with all due respect the problem that I am familiar with can't wait for a resolution. It towers over health care and the economy because if we don't act aggressively now it won't matter how much money you throw at health care and the economy both of those sects of society will not be functionable if we don't stop vaporizing and releasing our stored carbon.

You are joking right? It certainly seems that way. But in case you are not, let me just pat myself on the back for using the word "delusional" in a reply to your post above. Its great to know that scientists are morons and we can all trust some mythological character to save our hides instead. Hey, maybe Santa Clause is tired of the cold in the north pole and is all for the dwindling ice. That God, always helping the old boys club.

We must never have another Prime Minister from Quebec.
