HOW

TO SELL A CARBON TAX TO


CANADIANS.
Using the B.C. model, new study looks at
the do's and don'ts of introducing a carbon
tax
If you want to bring in carbon tax that
actually works, the folks at Clean Energy
Canada have some helpful tips for you.

Such

as: don't introduce the new tax


during the time of year when gas prices
are the highest; and be prepared that a
lot of people and businesses won't love
the idea and won't be afraid to say so.

Clean

Energy Canada, a think-tank that


focuses on clean renewable energy,
conducted interviews with 13 people
involved in crafting British Columbia's
carbon tax in 2008, a list that included
politicians, business representatives,
academics and environmental groups.

CANADA, THE MAIN ENEMY OF ENDANGERED


SPECIES

The

documents show that Canada has


decided not to be part of the resolutions
to protect endangered species taken in
the Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species. 180 countries voted
in favor of extending protection to 76
species of plants and animals.

It

is unprecedented, "said Sheryl Fink of the


International Fund for Animal Welfare." I can
not think of any explanation for it. "" I have
said that no other country has ever had an
action of this kind. "

However,

the spokesman for Environment


Canada Danny Kingsberry, said the reserves
are temporary and eventually enter protection
law. "Canada, like many other parts of the
convention requires more time to make
necessary regulatory changes," he said in an
email.

Canada

has been fighting a rearguard


action to CITES on polar bears. It has
been working to stop organizing further
restrict trade in polar bear skins. Support
for Canada's position, however, has been
declining.
