The author comments on the arguments presented by Conservatives against carbon taxes in Canada in 2016. He criticizes Alberta Parliament Member Michelle Rempel for attacking chief executive officers (CEOs) of energy companies for supporting the Liberals' price on carbon. He also discusses the goal of governments to introduce carbon taxes in order to get more tax revenue, not to reduce emissions.
