  • I don’t understand why they don’t use carbon tax revenues to fund public transit, electric car rebates, and other noticeable benefits. Instead, I pay carbon tax to heat my house, on my fuel and I still have to pay $20 a day in transit.

    Instead, it’s a black hole of who knows where it goes. This is the Canadian way of solving problems though. More taxes and no accountability until it bites us in the ass.

    I’m just going to edit to add:

    Electric cars aren’t great in Canada. Distances are often too far and cold weather really restricts batteries. We will always need some type of fuel.

    Same with home heating. Heat pumps don’t work in very cold weather. We will still need to burn fuel.

    In both cases we are paying carbon tax when we really have choice of “cleaner” alternatives.
