Trade Scheme: Cbc Studios and Policy Resolutions

trade scheme: While you were cursing the extra bourbons you swilled at the close of a notoriously crummy year, Conservative pundits were already penning copy blaming their New Year's headaches on Ontario's latest green policy resolutions, according to NOW Magazine. The province's new cap and trade scheme kicked in January 1, slapping a price on carbon pollution for most major greenhouse gas emitters and critics in the press are howling that we'll now be paying through the nose to drive to work, heat our homes, buy food and keep the lights on. Toronto, ON Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne speaks to the media after the televised Ontario Leadership Election Debate held at the CBC studios in Toronto. Ontario's plan destroy jobs, save the planet, screamed Margaret Wente's headline in the Globe. Pollsters suggest hydro bills have already dethroned the Wynne government, whose approval ratings have hit record lows hovering around 15 per cent . To help quell voter discontent, the province has axed the 8 per cent HST on hydro bills effective January 1 and cancelled billions in new green energy projects, all while pumping some 32 billion into what many have deemed unnecessary nuclear plant refurbishments. It'll be catastrophic, threatened others. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
