Tax break for going green popular in poll

Canadians are more likely to support tax cuts tied to good environmental behaviour than tax cuts with no strings attached. Decima Research asked people to choose between two hypothetical election promises – a $1,000 Conservative tax break for every household and a $1,000 Liberal break limited to households that took pro-environment action. Fifty-one per cent of respondents said they would prefer the Liberal promise versus 28 per cent who preferred the Conservative pledge. Twenty-one per cent were unsure.
