Every provincial carbon pricing scheme is now a tax grab. Even BC, which struggled to maintain revenue neutrality over the past few years and with the new NDP government is it shamelessly a new revenue tool.   Michael Chong's proposed national revenue  negative -> neutral carbon tax which concurrently eliminates other expensive subsidy programs and pet projects, made a lot of sense, if we absolutely must have carbon pricing.  I'd challenge Patrick Brown to pilot it provincially, but Ontario has such a significant debt hangover from the Liberals that it could never afford the initial revenue negative incentives to encourage businesses to innovate or move here.
