Michael Chong's plan is quietly brilliant and would truly push Canada forward from both an environmental and economical perspective, but I doubt he'll win.

The only potential problem I see with Chong's plan (with the caveat that he hasn't released full details) is that he doesn't seem to be proposing to remove the dozens of existing carbon taxes already in place, just adding a new one.  We should have ONE flat, equal and fair carbon tax across the board and eliminate things like the gasoline and diesel excise taxes.  This would raise taxes on some fuels and lower them on others but make the playing field level and fair.
