Carbon Price: Court and Blaine Higgs

carbon price: Yet their constitutional challenge failed, according to National Observer. And though they bray at redoubled volume about an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, odds are low that they will succeed there either. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe was supported in court by premiers Doug Ford of Ontario, Blaine Higgs of New Brunswick, and Jason Kenney of Alberta; all bellowed that they were going to win. The Saskatchewan Court's decision was split. This 3-2 split is not what it seems. Three judges found that the law creating the federal carbon price is fully constitutional under Parliament's power to make laws for Peace, Order and Good Government, or POGG. The other two judges dissented, finding it unconstitutional. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
