I would fully support a 2.5cents tax if Edmonton then had the funds for 2 new LRT lines (NLRT/WLRT)
All the carbon tax money will be returned to canadians and corporations with tax cuts. The market signals will take care of the rest.

The BC carbon tax is being returned to tax payers in a similar manner.

Trust in the market.
