B.C. and Quebec have taken the lead. What do you think of carbon taxes in Canada?

I think taxing for the environment is in principle a good idea -- if and only if the revenue raised by such taxes is made publicly accountable, and is directly fed into environmental and renewable projects. but surely there is much for Business to do. Increasingly there is a danger of offering incentives to business and leaving the aftermath to individuals (hence the evacuation of previous pension funds -- now the remit of the single individual). And there is also much that government could do to encourage individuals, as opposed to penalising them with ever increased tax burdens. What about government and business teaming up with an incentive for homeowners to install triple glaze glass, and insulating their homes, etc., etc? I personally would be pretty unhappy to pay environmental taxes without a means of keeping the 'green' taxes accountable. We are all used to paying green taxes at airports, but what is done with that money? It is important that new green taxes are seen as actually funding green governmental initiatives. (I am an ex-pat Canadian, now living in London, UK, but I think all of the above applies equally in Canada as it would in the UK).
