The next Ontario PC leader has no choice but to fight carbon taxes

The next leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives needs to take a page from Saskatchewan's playbook, and be a national leader against carbon taxes. Striking down the Wynne cap-and-trade carbon tax is an obvious start. Cap-and-trade is overly bureaucratic, sends billions of dollars out of the province, to Quebec and California, and lacks transparency as it doesn't appear on our rising energy bills. But Ontario families and businesses who pay for cap-and-trade deserve more than just its repeal--they deserve a commitment that the next premier will fight a deficit-laden federal government from imposing a carbon tax on us.
