Carbon Tax for Rural Canadians
Last February the result of a Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) poll on the real value of a carbon tax in Ontario was released. The poll, made by Nanos Research, showed that over 60 percent of the interviewees opposed to paying a carbon tax when given a specific price tag for it. The CTF came up with a number of an approximate monthly cost of $13 for a cap-and-trade program that covers car fuel and home heating. For Ontario residents, it seems that the willingness to pay an extra tax contradicts previous poll results that revealed that the majority were in favor with the climate regulations of the government, regulation that included CO2 pricing.
