We wanted to know if the feds knew in advance that Notley's carbon tax would be devastating as it is. That would mean the feds would also know that their own carbon tax, imposed over top, would be even worse.

We asking for the documents, and we got back a stack.

Included was a February 2016 briefing note prepared by bureaucrats in the Department of Western Economic Diversification, about the regional affects of a federally imposed carbon tax on Saskatchewan.

These bureaucrats say that the carbon tax won’t actually lower emissions, because companies will move to places where there are no carbon taxes or onerous regulations.

And it turns out their “solution” to this prospect was to cross their fingers and hope that Hillary Clinton got elected and imposed a carbon tax of her own.

Problem solved!

Trudeau's whole plan for the Canadian economy hinged on Hillary Clinton winning.

But she lost — and the Liberals are proceeding with their plan to carbon tax us anyway, knowing full well the damage it will do.
