Canada's Stéphane Dion evidently believes in the CO2 scam

Macleans.ca Interview: Stéphane Dion | Macleans.ca - Canada - Features
Q: You’re suggesting the carbon tax concept crosses partisan and ideological lines.

A: Yes. It’s beyond left-wing and right-wing. It’s an idea to reform our tax regime to make it cope with the main issue of the 21st century, no less than reconciling the people and the planet.
...
Q: I suspect, though, the energy industry would rather continue without a carbon tax.

A: If we do nothing, if we don’t put a price on carbon, these industries will be the first to be boycotted. Nobody will want to use our oil sands, not in the United States, not in Europe. If we put a price on carbon, show that we are serious, we’re in a much better position than if we do nothing.
Q: You really think oil sands crude will be boycotted?

A: Well, it’s not oil sands they will target. They will target countries that are not pricing their emissions.
