The Supreme Court Justice who opposed Trudeau's carbon tax
from 10/3: Canada Covered · host Postmedia
The Supreme Court of Canada recently held up the federal government’s carbon pricing scheme, striking down challenges from three provinces. While the majority of justices felt the plan was in the national concern, those in opposition felt it “rejects the Constitution and rewrites the rules of confederation,” while stepping into provincial jurisdiction. Columnist Sean Speer walks us through the significance of the minority opinion on the court, the Justice who penned it, and what it could mean for the conservative legal movement in Canada and future debates over the powers of the federal government.
