”The carbon tax’s days are numbered,” promises Doug Ford.

The premier-designate vows that’s the first thing he’ll do when he takes over from Kathleen Wynne – scrap the cap-and-trade system.

Ford, who will be sworn in June 29, campaigned on a promise to do away with it and to cut pump prices by 10-cents-a-litre.

”I promised that we would make life more affordable in Ontario.  I promised we would reduce gas prices and respect your hard-earned money,” said the premier-designate.

Ford said details about the ”wind-down” of the program will come later.
