Canada dumps carbon trading in election – UPDATED

Andrew Bolt in the Herald Sun (thanks to Tom Nelson) discusses the recent Canadian election in which Conservative Stephen Harper won on an anti-carbon tax agenda. The Canadian Press:

The Conservatives attacked Liberal Leader Stephane Dion during the election campaign over his proposed carbon tax on fossil fuels, offset by income-tax reductions and special energy tax credits for the poor. So it’s hard to imagine Stephen Harper’s Tories ever adopting a policy he claimed would destroy Canada’s economy.

As Andrew says: Malcolm Turnbull, are you watching?

The Daily Bayonet also has a great post on this topic: “Carbon Taxes Lose Elections” – read it here.
