Hello, just signed up and this is my first post.
The reason I wanted to sign up was I was hoping that someone could clarify the Green Shift for me.
I spent a bit of time studying it over and am confused as to a couple of aspects.
According to the greenshift.ca, it states:
"We will cut taxes on those things we all want more of such as income, investment and innovation, and we will shift those taxes to what we all want less of: pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and waste."
After looking it over, I have deduced that the Green Shift would cut income taxes while increasing the tax burden on industry. Therefore, while we would receive a small bit extra on our paycheck, the price of everything that is produced by industrial means would increase because the increased cost would have to be passed onto consumers. Or, because of the increased costs, more and more businesses will simply move away to Asia or somewhere else where they can pollute to their heart's content and in the process, leave thousands without a job. Can someone clarify this for me? Is this correct or am I completely off track?
