GOLDSTEIN’S RIGHT

I love reading Lorrie Goldstein’s commentary in the Toronto Sunday Sun, of which I am a long standing subscriber. The only way Trudeau and Wynne’s cap-and-trade scheme will work, is if every long-suffering Canadian gets a dividend cheque that will lift all boats, as domestic prices increase as a result (“PM’s cheap talk on climate change,” Jan. 15). Instead, governments are going to use this money to pay for their transit promises. Canada is a net positive carbon sink, we clean more air than we pollute.
