Conservative lies about the carbon tax need to be called out GlobeDebate

While our top scientists are telling us our problem is greater than we even imagined, Mr. Kenney is campaigning on: killing the province’s carbon tax, getting rid of the cap on oil sands emissions, granting a stay of execution to coal plants, nuking subsidies to renewable-energy firms.
