I'd be a fan of having a basic exemption per year for a home. Anything over a certain amount is taxed, and you gradually reduce that amount.

The rebate system does this. You are taxed on actual consumption and rebated on relative consumption.
All they needed to do was tax imports and exempt exports and you’d have a beautiful system without significant economic drag.
Now people in Atlantic Canada will be paid to polute. You get your rebates plus you don’t pay into the tax.
