The shocking truth about B.C.’s carbon tax: It works

[oneoff]

I'm sure the Alberta $3Billion "carbon tax" will in some fashion work too.

Never mind a federal carbon tax is estimated to add $35 an acre to our costs from fert, diesel and chemical etc etc, the 75 cents an care we get from being a carbon sink sure helps

This alone would make you question if a proponent of a carbon tax would actually be a farmer.

Chuckchuck, what crops are you intending to seed in 2016?

Some people like to think they they have no responsibility to prevent pollution and environmental degradation and can do what ever they think is a good idea with no regard for impacts to their neighbors or down stream.

Do you realize that agriculture is a large carbon sink and that Canada is carbon neutral?
GHG emissions actually decreased when PM Harper was leader but yet Selfie wants to add another tax.

Why do you want to add extra meaningless costs for farmers?

ELABORATE IF YOU DARE. This is probably exactly what the environmental agenda is all about. How far "downstream" are you talking about. And just what impacts do you refer to. Do you have any impact on your neighbors you'd like to divulge?
