Carbon tax decision boosts Trudeau’s Liberals, but ruling is first of many

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau participates in an armchair discussion with Arlene Dunn, the director of Canadian affairs for Canada's Building Trade Unions at the 2019 CBTU Legislative Conference in Ottawa on Tuesday, April 30, 2019.There was a palpable sigh of relief felt in Liberal Ottawa when a Saskatchewan court endorsed the legality of the federal carbon tax, even if Environment Minister Catherine McKenna gloated like it was a slam dunk.

That would have sent a message to the country that the federal carbon-pricing scheme isn’t just controversial and contested, but probably an unconstitutional intrusion – and that would give many the sense Mr. Trudeau’s plan was unworkable, and already falling apart. If he can’t apply a carbon tax in five provinces where premiers refuse, what’s the point?

For one thing, the court cited evidence that greenhouse-gas pricing “is regarded as an essential aspect or element of the global effort to limit GHG emissions.”
