Quebec plans to adopt tough vehicle emissions standards and will become the first province to levy a "carbon tax" on oil and gas companies as part of an ambitious plan to fight global warming.

Wonderful - I love socialism (in other countries) it will make that much more gas available outside Quebec. Vive la débiles!

The tax will raise about $200-million a year over six years, provincial government officials said yesterday, and will finance a $1.2-billion Green Fund to make reductions in greenhouse gas emissions called for under the international Kyoto accord.

Yet another reason that the entire states of New York and Massachussetts should be given to Quebec - they think that way there too.

And in 2011 when no one can manufacture a car that meets the standards for a reasonable price, what will they do?
