Letter Published in The National UAE on 20 Dec 18 Kudos to Justin Trudeau for his thoughtful policymaking

I write in reference to your piece Paying people to reduce their carbon footprint could be the answer to climate change (December 19): Rashmee Roshan Lall’s article was a very interesting read. She has nicely compared the ongoing yellow vest protests in Paris, sparked by fuel tax hikes by French President Emmanuel Macron, which became violent riots, with a more dynamic Canadian policy. In the latter country, people are benefitting financially from the neutral carbon tax policy implemented by their prime minister, Justin Trudeau. It is a reminder to political leaders that any policies their administration comes up with should not pinch their citizens. Kudos to Canada.
