Alberta Conservatives Vote to End Carbon Tax

RED DEER, Alta. — Alberta’s United Conservative party delegates have voted to pursue ending the carbon tax.

The delegates, at their founding convention in Red Deer, voted 98 per cent to end the government’s carbon tax on gasoline and home heating fuels.

Party leader Jason Kenney has said the tax punishes Albertans with no benefit to the environment, and has already said the first job of his government would be a bill to end the levy.
