What in the article do you disagree with?
There isn't much opinion that i can see of it.
I'm not saying I agree with or disagree with any of it.

What I'm saying is:
1) I'm skeptical of sources that use CTF as a reference, especially those that use them as their only reference
2) Media often misrepresents CTF as a public watchdog when they're an anonymously-funded special interest group
3) Media often just quotes CTF instead of citing the publicly-available information themselves, which is lazy journalism.

As for the carbon tax, it was revenue neutral under Gordon Campbell's government, but that changed under Christie Clark and, unfortunately, it doesn't look like it'll change back with the NDP.
