I don't think most people who are against the idea of a carbon rebate/tax will be swayed by new figures. I hope policy-makers learn from this debacle of misnaming a green initiative that puts money in the pockets of most Canadians a "tax". It effortlessly becomes a Conservative soundbite. And the corporate-controlled mainstream media get people into a froth in no time

It's frustrating because this government didn't make up the name. This is a well understood system. By calling it by the typical name it should be easier for people to look into it understand it.

But so many people lack the ability to look into things and instead just listen to what politicians say.

But of course none of that matters these days. 😞
