In early April, 2018, Ecofiscal Commission issued a report entitled "Clearing the Air: Ho Carbon Pricing Helps Canada Fight Climate Change." They claim that a price on carbon will improve the economy and the environment. Friends of Science Society bring evidence and facts from several jurisdictions to show the opposite is true, especially in Canada which is a vast country, challenged by extreme winter temperatures and sparse population, unlike the highly populated places in Europe used by Ecofiscal as examples of 'success.' Even those claims are dubious when one looks behind the curtain of 'emissions reduction' - is moving industry offshore or an 'industrial massacre' a good example of GHG reduction? Or just carbon leakage and self-deception. Carbon taxes makes people poor and do not do anything for the environment or climate change.
