When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his national carbon pricing scheme he claimed, incorrectly, that it was revenue neutral because none of the money will go to the federal government.
When Alberta Premier Rachel Notley introduced her carbon tax for Jan. 1, she said, incorrectly, that it was revenue neutral because all the money would go to reducing emissions.
The issue is that without revenue neutrality, carbon pricing is simply another government cash grab that will make Canadians poorer and only reduce emissions by causing a recession.
