BC United Leader Kevin Falcon said that although he’s proud of having been part of the government that introduced Canada’s first carbon tax, as premier he would keep it only if other provinces do.
Premiers always need to make an angry show of fealty to their province's grievances, but it is hard to see the value in promising to harm the environment out of spite.
Doug Ford and Scott Moe are coming up empty at a premiers' conference as they scope for allies in their legal fight with Ottawa over the federal government's plan to impose carbon pricing on provinces that don't already have it.
