    While I agree that we should be looking at other forms of pollution as well, I wonder why you’re bringing China up in a discussion about Canada imposing a carbon tariff on the USA?

      Seriously? Because we should be imposing pollution tariffs on everyone. Trade doesn’t work so well when country A has strict environmental laws and country B doesn’t. Example of the century: China.

        We is Canada here? Yeah, they probably should, but that’s not really relevant to this discussion, which is about Canada retaliating against US tariffs. This is not a discussion where China is relevant, because its about the US and Canada. I don’t disagree with you from a policy standpoint, so I won’t make any more responses, but relevance is important.

          Sigh. All trade from every country in the world to every other country in the world should consider pollution. To have proper trade between all countries. In the world. All countries. Every single one. All of them.
