Corbella: The Supreme Court of Canada is upholding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s carbon tax.
Ted Morton, a senior fellow at the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary and an expert on Canada’s Constitution as well as a former Alberta finance minister, says “if this were Quebec fighting federal intrusion into its hydro-electricity, Quebec would win.” Why?
“Because of fear of what would happen if Quebec lost. It would be such a negative reaction,” says Morton.
“Hydroelectricity is to Quebec what oil and gas is to Alberta. It’s their sacred cow. And if the Supreme Court sacrificed their sacred cow there would be hell to pay,” says Morton, who adds that Trudeau would have never done such a thing to Quebec to begin with.
