Manitoba premier hints at possible carbon tax deal with federal government

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin TangNEWS -- Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister hinted at a potential breakthrough with the federal government on a carbon tax Tuesday, and did not rule out introducing a tax in the upcoming provincial budget.

"I'm willing to have that dialogue and we are having that dialogue. So we'll wait and see where the feds end up on this, hopefully in the not-too-distant future.""We have not yet received a new pollution pricing proposal from the Manitoba government," Jonathan Wilkinson said in an emailed statement Tuesday.

Pallister's Progressive Conservative government originally planned a $25-per-tonne carbon tax in 2017, but the federal government said that was not high enough and implemented its own in Manitoba and three other provinces.Pallister wants a "flat" tax that does not rise and would give Manitoba credit for billions of dollars in debt it has taken on for development of clean hydro electricity.

Collecting Tax dollars from everyday people will not help climate change, its only giving the government more money to Party with. Alberta says it’s unconstitutional and have won that case. Every day Canadians shouldn’t pay any more taxes

that's good, now only if he could work a carbon credit system for his farmers so they can earn credits from carbon sequestration per acre rather then just being exempt,this day in age a farmer needs an incentive for all the carbon they are neutralizing with biomass ...Hemp...

Why not follow Alberta and stifle the useless carbon tax? Travel the heartland of the industrial centres in China, India etc. The wake up call, how foolish our little bureaucratic carbon credit nonsense is.

Deal with the devil.
