The carbon tax announced in February 2008's budget was truly remarkable: it covers all fossil fuels, it contains a clear schedule of future increases, there are GST style rebates for low income families, and revenue neutrality is laid out in a clear and transparent fashion.

This was a true leadership move by BC in the fight against climate change and this province is now at the forefront of environmental price reform in North America.

There is a continuing need for public support on this measure, and we want to ensure that a broad audience finds this site a useful portal for information and action in support of the tax.

Please keep our CODE OF CONDUCT in mind as you make use of this site.

1. Please do not engage in personal attacks, or the use of rude or abusive remarks in order to make your point.
