Sask Carbon Tax

[jazz]

goalie, that is definitely possible. The CT has become pretty entrenched now and if it got cut, prices might not adjust. GST is still around after 35yrs. Interest rates doubled in the past 2 yrs and it didnt take down the RE market.

The lesson here is for Canadians to reject stupid ideas immediately. Not sit there and try to rationalize them, maybe vote and see, then wake up after a couple yrs. Unfortunately most Canadians arent sharp enough to do that.

Remember, the govt has been conditioned to the income, and the electorate the programs.
Other taxes will have to rise.
At least the GST is in the open.

That’s the point this carbon tax was “supposed” to be revenue neutral….
it’s a wealth transfer end of story that’s helping deplete the middle class pure and simple
that’s who is bearing the brunt of this useless tax

That amount also includes hidden provincial carbon tax revenues in Saskatchewan and Alberta and other provinces which both have a carbon tax on large emitters.

But where is the amount that is returned to Consumers? You show the revenue side but you don't see the rebate side! Did you forget about the rebates again?

More Conservative math? Show the total taxes collected but not the rebates? LOL

[cropgrower]

Liberal/ ndp hid the numbers on how much they keep , why was that ?

[chuckChuck]

Well apparently they aren't hiding how much they keep from the the Parliamentary Budget Officer.

But don't let facts get in way of your opinions Crop!

According to the Parliamentary Budget Officer,the federal government will raise $11.8-billionfrom the carbon levy this fiscal year. Some of the money is going to green initiatives, but roughly 90 per cent of what’s collected in each of the eight covered provinces (Quebec and British Columbia run their own systems) goes directly back to the residents of that province. You pay based on carbon consumption; you get rebated based on family size.

So by your numbers 90% is returned?
LPC says "most" get back more than they contributed.
How many do you know personally that get back more?
Sounds like your basic LPC vote buying wealth transfer.

[chuckChuck]

So the Parlimentary budget officer is wrong?

[shtferbrains]

Who gets more than they contributed?
Not me for sure.

You?

Are you recieiving "green incentives" ?

Remember that time that Chuck pretended to be a capitalist farmer?

It is apparent that he doesn't even associate with any capitalist business people.

Chuck, if you think that everyone is getting more free bribes back from the government and what they are paying in CO2 tax, may I suggest that you ask any business person how much they get back compared to what they are paying.

What percentage of that $11.8 billion in carbon tax is payed by small business? The trucker hauling my grain pays just under $1000 a month of carbon tax based on 8500 km per month. He gets the rebate as you point out based on family size not consumption. This is transferring money to buy votes, that is the reality. Small business is subsidizing this scheme! Trudeau can’t go soon enough!!!
