Oh come on now. It is both a wealth redistribution and it hurts the poor.
The rebates (i.e. wealth transfer) will not be enough to offset increased costs.
And why does it have to be this left vs. right rhetoric all the time?
A carbon tax is a reasonable idea if it is carried out the way B.C. has implemented theirs. Let's not kid ourselves that our carbon tax is anything more than a new source of tax revenue for the NDP.
