    Timeline of events in Alberta:

    • The Alberta provincial NDP bring in a provincial carbon tax, exempting them from the federal carbon tax.
    • The Conservatives win the next election.
    • The Conservative government scraps the provincial carbon tax, forcing Alberta back onto the federal tax.
    • The federal government starts fucking with the carbon tax (who could have seen this coming?).
    • Alberta’s Conservative government teams up with Sask to bitch about how unfair the federal carbon tax is.

    Completely unexpected turn of events, folks.
