Pallister defends carbon tax plan amid federal pressure
Manitoba Premier Pallister champions a 25 dollar per tonne carbon tax starting next year, translating to about five cents per litre gasoline and a 260 million dollar annual cost. He aims to hold it at 25 for five years while Ottawa pushes a 10 to 50 dollar per tonne increase. Trudeau cautions that provinces failing to act will face federal pricing. Pallister hopes public opinion backs his plan against federal pressure. Saskatchewan's Wall opposes carbon tax, while Pallister frames his stance as a Manitoban choice.
