Federal lawyer Sharlene Telles-Langdon told Alberta’s Court of Appeal that a carbon tax is a proven tool to curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the effects of climate change

. For that to work, she said, it must apply across the country in a way that provides an incentive for consumers to reduce their environmental burden.

An Alberta government lawyer argued on Monday that the carbon tax should be thrown out because it intrudes on issues of provincial jurisdiction and threatens to infringe on the daily lives of citizens. “The carbon charge is visible, so it makes people think, ‘When I buy a new vehicle, maybe I won’t buy an F-350 [pickup], maybe I’ll buy an F-150. Or I’ll switch to something that’s even more efficient,’ ” she said.Alberta’s United Conservative Party government came to power on a platform that opposed what Mr. Kenney described as “job-killing" carbon taxes on consumers.
