      We’ve been getting rebates for years at this point. People know about it. They got the money. It isn’t changing their minds.

      It costs almost all Canadians more than they get back in ‘rebates’…….including the middle-class.

      It’s all spelled out in the Chart on page 19 of the PBO Report.

      “But when economic impacts are factored in, like loss of employment due to the fuel charge, the average household will get back less money than what they pay towards the carbon tax.
      “The updated estimates continue to show that the average household across most income quintiles will face a net cost when both fiscal and economic impacts of the federal fuel charge are considered,” the PBO report states.”

      PS – Taxing Canadians into a lower standard-of-living…. won’t do anything to alleviate the risk of forest-fires.

      We only contribute 1.5% of the worlds total annual emissions.

      China adds more new CO2 emissions, every year (mostly by building new coal-fired electricity plants), than Canada’s total-annual-output.

      The Parliamentary Budget Officer (Yves Giroux) confirmed that this is why he would not include so-called ‘negative impacts’ when he was interviewed by vassy Kapeolos.

      Wouldn’t it be easier to just further incentivize/subsidize green or clean tech or something like that?

      If people got more than they pay back, how is there any meaningful change?

      Asking as a small c conservative who honestly thinks the carbon tax is bad policy

      It’s just a tax on people. It hasn’t fixed anything. People are not changing their habits because they have no affordable alternative to turn to.
