   > On April 1, Canada's carbon tax goes up. Again. But when you factor in the carbon tax rebate, do you end up getting back more than you pay?

     @terryenglish > right
     i don't think the right even believes in carbon theory. it's mostly lefties and corpofascists pushing that.
     
     i get from a market forces perspective that making people bear the costs of pollution will result in natural pressure towards 'better' solutions, although i remain unconvinced the carbon tax people have this in mind.

     @icedquinn The carbon tax is definitely an interesting case study in how the right tries to convince the public that a largely re-distributive tax that will more than likely positively impact them will be bad. You see the same thing happen in reverse with tax cuts that will grant a pittance to most Canadians and benefit the wealthiest far more.
