The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruled in a split decision that the tax imposed on provinces without a carbon price of their own is constitutional.
"No one in this nation should confuse climate action with the carbon tax," he said. "We will continue to use each and every tool in our toolbox to block ... Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's ineffective carbon tax ... while we in this province continue with our fight against climate change." In a 155-page decision on the reference case, Chief Justice Robert Richards wrote that establishing minimum national standards for a price on greenhouse gas emissions does fall under federal jurisdiction.
Saskatchewan told a hearing before the Appeal Court that the question wasn't one of climate change. It argued the federal tax is unconstitutional because it's not applied evenly across the country and oversteps into provincial jurisdiction. The two dissenting judges said it is "constitutionally repugnant" for Ottawa to exercise its power to control measures taken by provinces on emissions.
Maybe constitutional for major polluter companies but not for the average citizen.
No big deal, after the next election the Libs and carbon tax will be gone.
Legalized robbery to taxpayers, who are the only ones paying the bill
