I was really hopefully that the messaging around the carbon tax would have been better, and Canadians would realize most of us earn money overall with the carbon rebates.
I was hoping that could lead us into more Pigouvian taxes to financially encourage people to make better choices. For example, a Pigouvian tax on clothing to reduce our reliance on fast-fashion and encourage consumers to buy more high-quality, long lasting clothes.
It really grinds my gears that Trudeau &co screwed up the program that badly.
A cheque/direct deposit with the memo "climate mitigation rebate" should have been sent to every Canadian before the program began. Followed by regular rebates with a clear reason. Instead they had some weird set of initials they nobody recognized.
And then there's the whole "let's buy votes with a special exemption for heating oil" fiasco that reopened the issue.
Like, yeah, Poilievre is a dick for exploiting the fuck ups on a good policy, but it's like Trudeau didn't even want it to succeed. Ugh.
