PATRICK BROWN'S EMISSIONS DANCE

NP:  “The reality is, Patrick Brown, when he’s elected premier in 2018, he’ll dismantle Kathleen Wynne’s cap-and-trade plan.”
At that point, things will get tricky. Brown wants to “replace it with a model that reduces emissions in Ontario, cuts taxes, and protects the Ontario economy,” he says.
A year ago, at a party convention in Ottawa, Brown stunned the room by announcing he supports putting a price on carbon-dioxide emissions, with the goal of reducing them because they’re contributing to climate change. He might as well have promised a windmill on every lawn and tofu in every pot.
