Collaboration

Veteran editor, Mindmatrix, created a similar article in their sandbox that was a more focused article, specifically about the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. We are discussing ways to collaborate on this article.

I am sure there is a way to keep both articles with some shifting and sharing of the content. I am open to suggestions and collaboration. I am an inclusionist.

I suggest a {{todo}} for the talk page. I am going to add this conversation to the talk page.

On August 6, 2018, I created my sandbox article Carbon tax (Canada) as a fork from the article Carbon tax. I worked on it regularly since then. On New Years Eve, I uploaded the contents of sandbox article Carbon tax (Canada) to the main article space Carbon price (Canada) as my last Wikipedia edit in 2018. While not complete, it was 34,523 bytes long and had 46 references. I changed the name from "tax" to "price" as the more inclusive term and the one used by OECD, etc.Oceanflynn (talk) 20:56, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should move the page title back to "carbon tax". I don't think there's any point in using a politically motivated euphanism like "price". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.7.157.114 (talk) 12:26, 31 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Just taking a short look at this, and was wondering if it should be moved to Carbon price in Canada to align with WP:NAMINGCRITERIA, since this seems to be discussing the Canadian implementation of carbon pricing. Sounder Bruce 09:04, 5 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. AdA&D ☆ 03:16, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It should be "Carbon pricing in Canada", not "Carbon price in Canada". Bueller 007 (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History needs cleanup

The history section is a bit confusing. Reference [4] - CBC article from June 7, 2007 says "Quebec to collect first carbon tax..." But that didn't actually happen. BC collected their carbon tax before Quebec and Alberta implemented its Cap and Trade scheme in March 2007. Any suggestions on how to reconcile the differences?

Article out of date

This article needs major revision (for update purposes). I will do it if no one else really wants to because Im working on 2 other related projects.TheDoDahMan (talk) 18:48, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead - this article is full of errors and untruths. I tried to fix it but was reversed for "Copyright issues" - (I don't get it, can historical facts be copyrighted?). Alberta was clearly the first jurisdiction in North America to put a price on carbon. Peterbubik (talk) 18:28, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
