Alberta appeals court rules federal carbon tax unconstitutional

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Nathan DenetteEDMONTON -- In a 4 to 1 decision, the Alberta Court of Appeal became the first to declare the federal carbon tax unconstitutional.The main reasoning behind the decision is that the carbon tax is an overstep by the federal government.

In their decision, Justices Katherine Fraser, Jack Watson and Elizabeth Hughes said, in part: “… the division of powers remains key to our federal state. It is part of the fabric of Canada itself. The federal and provincial governments are co-equals, each level of government being supreme within its sphere. The federal government is not the parent; and the provincial governments are not its children.

They go on to call the act "a constitutional Trojan horse," as it would set a precedent, allowing the federal government to impose almost any law it wished on Canadians.

Guess we will see what the Supreme Court costs, looking into the kids crystal ball future.

Excellent, common sense prevails. The Trudeau gang has been been put on notice, back off meddling in Alberta’s economic affairs. Canada is too large of a country for the incompetent Trudeau gang to govern.

Maybe Trudeau should pull a Ford and threaten to use the Notwithstanding clause to override the court. That would piss Kenny off bigtime lol

Goodbye AIMco managed pensions!

Next stop Supreme Court...

Excellent news

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So Kenney is sinking Albuttya into more sissy screaming

Because it totally is unconstitutional.

Everyone must get back the taxes we have paid since the day Trudeau the Cuck forced it on Canadians!!

Thank God. This was a beautiful decision.

Gee!that’s a real shocker!

Not only that. It is nothing more than a Liberal tax scam.

ONE Court...out off ALL the Court cases....non-binding as well! The REAL test is the Sask Supreme Court test!

“Justices Katherine Fraser, Jack Watson and Elizabeth Hughes” Goodness, are there no WASPs in Alberta to sit on the Appeals Court?!? Their people are being persecuted! Is the invisible dome that has to be breached to get from Saskatchewan to BC cruelly preventing their rights

Wow!

👏👏👏

2/3 said it was. This is an outlier. The feds would win in federal court.

Even their courts have a right wing bias. The ruling sounds like it came out of Jason Kenneys mouth.

Alberta continues to be a national embarrassment 🙄

As always, Alberta will we way out there on this one

MLB tells court attempts at cheating are a part of sportsAttempts at cheating are a part of sports, Major League Baseball said in urging a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit by fantasy contestants Not good enough. MLB needs to tell the world why the World Series title and rings are not being recalled and given to the real (non-cheating) winner. The MLB is making a very weak argument. Solution is simple, strike the Astros from the trophy. Fine them a huge fine and ban them from the MLB for a certain time period.
