The cost of those Capital Improvements on an average home could easily dip into the tens of thousands of dollars for average Albertans who are already getting their teeth kicked in economically, how are we expected to afford that in addition to everything being more expensive and our taxes being jacked on top of it?
Meanwhile what help do we get from the Carbon Tax? It isnt going into a fund to support or promote energy efficient living or renewable power sources its going into General Revenue so Notley can take more British Columbian vacations and, ironically, keep the lights on. The now significantly more expensive lights.

I agree with you that a tax on everything isn't prudent but you can't complain that something was a disaster when it accomplished exactly what it was supposed to accomplish.
However the fight against global warming is going to suck. Its why I prefer a geo-engineered solution.
