The carbon tax battle is 100% political. Ford really wants control over federal power. He doesn't care if this were to destabilize the federal-provincial power balance. The same thing with the pipeline in BC.
It is a sad sign of the times. We would rather tie up the whole country in litigation than actually move forward on anything meaningful.
