The real question is what will happen in Ontario after the provincial government eliminates the market driven cap and trade system that funded the environmental improvement efforts, like the EV rebate.
The Federal government will impose a carbon tax rather than a market driven system:
- A levy on fossil fuels that will increase annually.
- Measures to price pollution by industry. This sets limits on pollution, and will ensure that the more an industrial facility pollutes above its limit, the more it will pay. The more a facility reduces its emissions below the limit, the more it can earn by selling credits to less efficient competitors.
That money will go to the Federal government rather than to the people of Ontario. The provincial government will lose control of the funds. The beneficial programs that were defunded by the Ford administration will be lost.
When the Ford administration sues, they'll waste millions of dollars fighting legitimate legislation with the only result being that the people of Ontario get the short end of the stick.
What a waste of time and money.
