Another reason why we cannot afford a Liberal-NDP Coalition

Bloomberg writes:

Canada’s opposition parties would implement tough carbon-dioxide emissions targets if they vote to topple Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s minority Conservative government next year, the country’s Green Party leader said.

A coalition government would aim to reduce output of the greenhouse gas by 30 percent by 2020 from 1990 levels and 80 percent by 2050, Elizabeth May said in an interview in Poland where United Nations climate negotiations are taking place.

[...]

As part of a possible coalition pact, the Liberals had to give up their plan to introduce a carbon tax, May said. Sources of tension in environmental policy among the opposition parties include oil production from Alberta’s tar sands, she added.

Either Lizzy May is spewing hot air (wouldn't be surprised) or she is actually talking from her knowledge of the backroom coalition negotiations. If this is really considered by a potential coalition government, Canada would be in serious economic trouble. We cannot possibly meet those targets in such a short period of time without this having disastrous repercussions.
