Now, you if you want to say that the cost of the tax now versus the cost of increasing emissions in the future is a win, fair enough. But I think that is a complete farce to begin with as Canada cannot control global emissions, and our inaction on exporting our energy is just leading to more emissions from other countries.

I didn’t say no cost. I said almost no cost. But at the $/tonne saved level post rebate using the currently available data is a fairly efficient way of reducing consumer carbon emissions.
I disagree that it’s a complete farce
For example Europe has implemented a program charging carbon tax on all imports.

This will become more common everywhere and indirectly creates a world carbon tax.
