Cap and Trade is an essential policy to curbing the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. These taxes can have many benefits, and a lesson can be learned from BC, where this Carbon Tax money is given back to the people by reducing taxes in other areas.
William Nordhouse, the recent Nobel Prize winner in economics, has stated that a carbon tax is an effective way to curb CO2 emissions.
The removal of the Cap and Trade act is against what Canada has committed to do in the Paris Accord, as it will make it much more difficult Canada fulfill their part it preventing the world from warming more than 2 degrees C. Removal of the Cap and Trade program contradicts our contribution to the Green Climate Fund.
My generation, generation Z, is going to be greatly effected by the action that is or is not taken today. But many of us have already turned 18, and have a stronger voice than ever. Universities and colleges are offering more environmental programs every year, we will be more educated on this issue than any other generation in the past.
To not take action is still an action performed, it is one that is directly against people like me. It is to say that we do not deserve the future that older individuals have already experienced. We do not deserve to breath clean air, drink clean water, or live with the minimal fear of natural disasters that usually accompany living in the beautiful province of Ontario.
All in all, I think it is a very bad idea to scrap the Cap and Trade program, and I strongly urge Doug Ford to rethink his position on this.
