โ€œIf [BC Liberal Leader Gordon Campbell] goes down because of axe the tax, the repercussions are the carbon tax will be toxic for future politicians.ย No politician will raise it. Thatโ€™s why environmentalists are soย upset.โ€

Davidย Suzuki

With that quoteย in the Globe and Mail today, David Suzuki explained why enviromental groups (and the DeSmogBlog) are criticizing the BC New Democratic Party, which is continuing to campaign against theย tax.

Suzuki alsoย said:

โ€œIf environmental voters decide they canโ€™t stomach voting for the NDP or the Liberals, they have got the Greens. If you vote for the Greens, you are making a statement about the carbon tax and the other things you donโ€™t like about the Liberals and the NDP.โ€
