Yes and now there is going to be even more that only we will pay for not distributed across the country. This could be dumber than dumb.

For f#*k sake SF3
The PST being added to crop, hail, life insurance is a greater cost to saskadelusional farmers than the carbon tax is to the albertastan farmers.
You seem to do some math great but when it comes to any involving the sask party it all NEW MATH with you. 2+2=5

At least sask is doing something about pollution,not that I think co2 is affecting climate but there is nothing wronge with clean technology. What has sock boys carbon tax done other than tax people. Everyone is still driving and using power and heating their homes and buying things made from oil byproducts and our leaders are still travelling the world for no reason other than a nice holiday that which carbon taxes are helping to pay for. So can anyone show some proof of lower co2 levels from a carbon tax.

"The climate change strategy includes developing and implementing sector-specific output-based performance standards on large emitting facilities, such as those in oil and gas, and mining. These standards will be developed in consultation with industry throughout 2018 and will recognize actions already taken by industry to reduce emissions.
Flexible compliance options for industry will be developed that will include:
Making improvements at facilities to reduce emissions intensity;
Purchasing a carbon offset, representing a reduction in GHG emissions;
Using best performance credits;
Utilizing a market mechanism outlined in the Paris Accord, such as an internationally transferred mitigation outcome; and
Paying into a technology fund.
The offset system will create additional value for actions that result in carbon sequestration or reduced emissions, especially from agricultural soils, wetlands and forests. While agricultural producers will not be covered under any standard, they will benefit from being eligible to participate in the new offset program."

Saskatchewan is not going to implement an economy wide carbon tax but the above mentioned transfers of carbon credits All require putting a price on carbon emissions for heavy industry. Otherwise how can you use the following mechanisms?
"Purchasing a carbon offset, representing a reduction in GHG emissions;
"Using best performance credits;"Utilizing a market mechanism outlined in the Paris Accord, such as an internationally transferred mitigation outcome;
Paying into a technology fund.
