Saskatchewan premier starts online petition opposing federal carbon tax plan
SASKATOON — Saskatchewan’s premier says he knows Canadians do not support a national carbon tax so he’s started his own online petition.
At a news conference on Thursday, Brad Wall also said Saskatchewan is prepared to take the federal government to court.
He pointed to a federal survey which listed the options for reducing carbon emissions and a tax was the least popular.
He said the survey wasn’t released to the public, but was given to the province after his government filed a freedom of information request.
