REGINA, SK: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) is applauding Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister for serving notice to Ottawa that the province may take legal action to defend itself against a federally imposed carbon tax.
"It's wrong for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to impose a carbon tax scheme that disregards huge investments in hydro power and damages the economy" said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. "Manitobans don't want a carbon tax and Premier Pallister is right to stand up for people in his province."
Premier Pallister drew a clear line in the sand in a government release issued on June 29.
