Moe remains against a carbon tax in wake of Conservative announcement
When it comes to a carbon tax on fuel, Premier Scott Moe isn’t changing his answer: His party still isn’t in favour of it.
“It’s a cost on families and a cost on our small business and farmers here in the province, and so we don’t believe (carbon taxes) to be effective,” Moe said Thursday.
“We don’t believe it’s the appropriate mechanism in order to actually achieve what we want to achieve.”
However, the list of political parties in Canada with that mindset is getting shorter. On Thursday, the federal Conservative Party announced its climate change plan, which would include a carbon tax.
