Actually yes, and the divide spans political boundaries - about two-thirds do not support the NDP's plan.

63% against:

67% against:

The only real strong support for it comes from NDP voters really, Liberals and other progressives mostly don't like the NDP plan either (for a variety of reasons).

We seem to have gotten over it here.

Unless the economy really turns around in the next year or so, I doubt many Albertans will.

If a tax on carbon cures it, why not put a tax on cancer, oh wait, emissions are still going up in BC even with a carbon tax.

Sorry that was a dumb idea.
