A few weeks later, he came up with the scheme and premise to inform Canadians that Canada could no longer afford Canada Pension. That blew up in his face and now Poilivre is the next Corporate Messiah to run for PM which brings me to wonder who will pay for all the things that lower corporate taxes no longer pays for ? Well, higher taxes along with a higher deficit may be passed on while the banks provide more credit cards with higher interest with their own cash back schemes. Who pays ? Well, it isn 't the retailers as they simply charge more for their goods and services with a little extra so they get some cash back too.

Yes! If the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses: they should be able to handle the long-distance movement of goods. Since rails don't move: they can electrify quite easily without massive batteries (using overhead lines). The problem is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight.

This analysis does actually help a it to understand the numbers, though as with most it’s still missing some fundamental aspects. One being what is surely the astronomical cost to taxpayers to fund the government (and banking) administration of this tax and return scheme. Second, is it having the desired effect - are people buying and burning less fossil fuel? That should be easy to find out. Third and most importantly, is it having any measurable effect on climate change? When asked, the experts say “it’s complicated”. But we’re doing it anyway despite the fact that Canada’s contribution to GHGs are miniscule on the global scale. Rather than continue a dubious social engineering experiment, we should be funding R&D toward migration to alternative energy such as nuclear and to adaptation of human life in a changing climate (if, in fact, it is changing fundamentally or only cyclically).

It's fascinating how the tables have turned. It used to be mainstream media scrutinizing government but here we have a dedicated piece playing defense.

The Bank of Canada said this month the carbon price contributes about 0.15 percentage points to inflation overall. That amount was the same whether inflation was at its peak of 8.1 per cent in June 2022 or 3.3 per cent in July. There is no clear figure for groceries. While the tax is not applied directly to food, and the bulk of carbon emissions from the agricultural sector are exempted, it can still indirectly raise costs of production and transportation of food.

It’s funny to see a media outlet in the PMs pocket try and minimize the real issue at hand! People cannot afford groceries already, but let’s increase the daily cost of fuel so they can go from a loaf bread to just drinking water!

Well, let me tell you how much I have done. The average Canadian family of 4 waste about 1000-1500 dollars of food they bought from the store each year. That figure is way higher than what the average family pay in carbon tax after rebate. Our family has made a plan to eat what we bought, and only get news things when we finish the old items. Do we still waste food? Sure, but now waste less than 200 bucks a year. Not only did we reduce our waste but also carbon tax. We also got a smart thermostat and we lower our temperature when people are working and at night when we are sleeping. We pay almost half of what my parents use at their house with a conventional thermostat. As for driving, I always wanted a 5l mustang as a kid, but when I finally got my career going, I grew up and made the good financial decision of buying a used hybrid. I get 800km per 55l of gas. This reduced my carbon emissions and taxes from driving by 1/3 compared to my parents who are driving conventional cars. So ya, our family, without any sacrifices have reduce our emissions and carbon tax by almost 2/5 when compared to someone who did nothing.

Yes, but I think you are overestimating how much shipping cost is fuel. A loaded semi hauls around 40k of goods. A fully loaded semi uses 40 litre of diesel per 100m. Carbon tax is at 14 cents a litre which means if you are delivering 40k lb of cabbages it will use 800l of gas and pay 120 in carbon tax. Divide that among the cabbages, and you will get an increase of 0.3cents per lb of cabbage. If you go, what if they only carry 20k lb, the semi will also use less diesel, and 2000km will cost around 0.4 cents per lb of cabbage. A little bit more but not significantly more. This is why people are confused about how little carbon tax has on the transportation of food.

For short-haul you can electrify. For long-haul electrified rail should take over (if the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses). The problem with rail is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight. Right now all the valuable cargo is either moving by plane or truck because the rail companies need a lot of lead time.

A carbon tax raises the cost of carbon-intensive products like gasoline and home heating fuel and natural gas. In doing so, it will encourage consumers to find alternatives. That may mean taking more public transit or driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle. But it could also mean using smart home technology to heat your home or business more effectively or looking at a more efficient furnace. But the whole point is not to be prescriptive. It's not to determine by government which is the right way for each of us to reduce our emissions. Instead, the price lets us find our own ways that make the most sense for us. Those who use less fuel pay less tax, but still get the same rebate as someone who burns a lot of fuel - leaving them financially ahead by comparison. British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories follow their own carbon-pricing mechanisms that meet federal standards. Economists offer an analogy to explain that point. Consider a bar that raises the price of a specific beer by $5. When you walk in, the bar tender hands you $5 bill. You can buy the more expensive beer and come out no worse. Or you can pocket the five bucks and buy something else.

I'm so confused. Why would we celebrate getting back the carbon tax in a rebate as compared to asking why are we paying it in the first place, just to get it back? Common sense is so lacking in Canada.

Wouldn’t need a rebate if there wasn’t a tax. People ain’t even getting the full amount this is what Pierre’s been hammering on in the House of Commons. This tax has done absolutely nothing what has the government done with everyone’s money nothing. 8 years of this and I don’t see anything in the works to reduce carbon have you seen anything I haven’t. It’s a pointless tax.

If you emit less carbon, from a flat rebate, you make money. If you emit more carbon, from that same rebate, you lose money. The incentive is to emit less carbon.

@@deaddynamite8568That sounds good on paper but I don't think that people consume less gas when prices go up. A lot of the demand is not elastic, people can't afford an EV, they can't afford not to go to work. The cost of managing this program and the rebates further complicates things. I can get behind moving away from fossil fuels (and I have, I drive an EV and I use a heat pump for my house) but this method seems very iffy.

bullshit it raises the cost on everythings 10 to 20 x as much that you would pay on items because you are taxed time after time over and over again on everything

The Bank of Canada said this month the carbon price contributes about 0.15 percentage points to inflation overall. That amount was the same whether inflation was at its peak of 8.1 per cent in June 2022 or 3.3 per cent in July.

This is what I figured out about this big step forward about carbon, First China's hand in elections ,China has the biggest cobalt manufactory, has mass produced electric vehicles, and now Canada wants to switch to EVs by 2030 , so makes you wonder ,is it the pollution the government is worried about or the sales on all the EVs which all the corrupted investors have.IT IS A STRATAGY TOWARDS MARKETING NOT POLLUTION

The only people getting more back than they pay are going to be people without cars that live in a very small apartment and dont eat any food. Other than that...youre paying more than youre getting back. Why go through all the work of collecting the tax, administration and issuing refunds.....if the net result is the government is paying out more than they collect. If it were the case that they pay more than they collect....is it not going to be more harmful to the environment? As you are essentially subsidizing carbon pollution?
