Alberta, the neighbouring province I'm a resident of is considering something "similar". Here is a great article by Macleans: http://www.macleans.ca/economy/economicanalysis/heres-what-w...

I for one, as a citizen am in favour of shutting down coal fired plants that add to the particulate count in my air. I will gladly pay the extra $300-$500 to get rid of it :)

I'm not sure if one exists (in US or Canada) but some sort of particulate matter tax would also be nice, and in some cases preferable to regulations. A major political benefit is that particulates are a much more local problem than CO2.
