The Climate Action Incentive payment will be paid in quarterly instalments for the first time this year. In previous years, the payment was delivered as a component of tax returns.
Here's how much a family of four will receive in total this year:
$1,079 in Alberta.
$1,101 in Saskatchewan.
$832 in Manitoba.
$745 in Ontario.
Residents of small and rural communities will receive an extra 10 per cent on top of those amounts.

If the relatively small carbon tax is really bad for the economy then the current market price for oil and gas must be even more terrible don't you think?
By all accounts the economy should be completely dead and on life support because of high oil.
Because the 11 cents a litre carbon tax is relatively small compared to the current prices for gas and diesel and the profit margin the oil industry is much much larger than 11 cents per litre.
But these little details are hardly ever acknowledged.

Bottom line, the price of energy and other commodities are much higher primarily because of the market forces of supply and demand and geopolitical disruptions.
The carbon tax in Canada is only adding a relatively small amount to the higher prices. Case in point US consumers are also being hit with high energy prices with no carbon tax. Their core inflation rate is higher than Canada.
A lot of the carbon tax is being rebated back to average consumers. Oil and gas companies are not rebating their excess profits back to consumers.
High energy prices because of supply and demand definitely affect consumer demand and will contribute to the coming economic slow down and recession.

So Chuck2 if your talking actual cost of travel, yes the plug in electric is a little cheaper but what is your time worth? And I have to admit at today’s gas prices I thought the electric car would save more money!Last edited by Hamloc; Jul 17, 2022, 08:09.
