Don't most Canadians receive a bigger rebate for the carbon tax than the tax ends up costing them?

[-] nyan@lemmy.cafe 14 points 7 months ago

Yes, but the government hasn't made that clear in short enough words for the average Conservative voter to understand.

The last time Trudeau had a chance to clarify this at the house, he instead made a childish "I know you are but what am I" joke about it.

Yes. 8 out of 10, according to Trudeau. It might be more like 7.

The only mistake they made was not sending out the rebates on paper checks inside a pretty envelope covered in windmills. They would have called it "self-promotion" and "an unnecessary expense", and they would have been right, but apparently we're not good enough to be treated as intelligent adults who can see our own finances.

Yes, because most Canadians don't pay it.
