Harper heads for carbon fiasco | Lorrie Goldstein | Toronto Sun

It may be Harper isn't serious, given that he all but called global warming a socialist hoax a few years ago. Indeed, many Conservatives no doubt hope, even assume, Harper won't keep this promise.

But if that's Harper's plan, deception isn't leadership.

In any event, we should be scrutinizing Harper's cap-and-trade scheme more than Dion's carbon tax, since the Conservatives and every other party, including the Liberals, support cap-and-trade, while only the Grits and Greens support a carbon tax.
