It’s absurd that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Liberals believe that rebranding their “climate action incentive payments” as “Canada carbon rebates” is what’s needed to fix their carbon tax.
What Canadians deserve is the truth about Trudeau’s carbon tax, which they have never been given by the Liberals.
Consider:
The Liberals say if Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre axes the carbon tax, people will lose the rebates.
In reality, if there’s no carbon tax, there’s no need for rebates.
The Liberals describe their carbon tax as a “price on pollution”.
It’s not a price on pollution. It’s a price on almost all goods and services Canadians pay for because almost all goods and services are produced using fossil fuel energy, including necessities such as heating homes in winter.
The Liberals claim 80% of households in the eight provinces paying the carbon tax (Quebec and B.C. have separate systems) receive more in rebates than they pay in carbon taxes.
In fact, parliamentary budget officer Yves Giroux, says when the negative impact of the carbon tax on the economy is factored in, 60% of households currently pay more in carbon taxes than they receive in rebates, which will rise to 80% in Nova Scotia in 2025, 80% in Ontario in 2026, 80% in Manitoba in 2029 and 80% in Alberta and P.E.I. in 2030.
