On April 1, Canada's carbon tax goes up. Again. But when you factor in the carbon tax rebate, do you end up getting back more than you pay? Andrew Chang breaks down the finances of the carbon tax and why the answer is more complicated than you think.

Except it's not just the CBC, it's at least 200 economists, some studies, banks... Basically the idea that the carbon tax is causing inflation is popular on the same right that rejects the existence of global warming and doesn't want to do jack. In fact, they want to subsidize the oil even more because "CO2 is plant food" - even if they don't want to receive 50 pizzas for tonight... Pizza is human food, so getting more Pizza means humans will grow quicker, right? Certainly there would be no side effects to eating 50 pizzas tonight!

Large business's have CEO's who get bonus's which is deducted from the corporate tax being paid. Remember PM Harper ? Well, it was his corporate scheme to lower the corporate tax and did so even though nobody took to the streets to demand lower corporate taxes. A few weeks later, he came up with the scheme and premise to inform Canadians that Canada could no longer afford Canada Pension. That blew up in his face and now Poilivre is the next Corporate Messiah to run for PM which brings me to wonder who will pay for all the things that lower corporate taxes no longer pays for ? Well, higher taxes along with a higher deficit may be passed on while the banks provide more credit cards with higher interest with their own cash back schemes. Who pays ? Well, it isn 't the retailers as they simply charge more for their goods and services with a little extra so they get some cash back too.

@jamesphillips2285 Месяц назад

Yes! If the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses: they should be able to handle the long-distance movement of goods. Since rails don't move: they can electrify quite easily without massive batteries (using overhead lines). The problem is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight.

This analysis does actually help a it to understand the numbers, though as with most it’s still missing some fundamental aspects. One being what is surely the astronomical cost to taxpayers to fund the government (and banking) administration of this tax and return scheme. Second, is it having the desired effect - are people buying and burning less fossil fuel? That should be easy to find out. Third and most importantly, is it having any measurable effect on climate change? When asked, the experts say “it’s complicated”. But we’re doing it anyway despite the fact that Canada’s contribution to GHGs are miniscule on the global scale. Rather than continue a dubious social engineering experiment, we should be funding R&D toward migration to alternative energy such as nuclear and to adaptation of human life in a changing climate (if, in fact, it is changing fundamentally or only cyclically).

No one's saying you can’t have some carbon emissions. Think of a the carbon tax rebates as your quota for how much carbon you can emit for free. Beyond that, we're going to pay for climate change one way or another, it's just a matter of how much. If we all do nothing, and extreme weather events continue to get more and more out of hand, then it could get far worse than a few hundred dollars per year. Some people in the US can't get home insurance now because the risk of forest fires is too high. That's a huge loss if your house suddenly becomes worthless.

Second, and probably less related to this topic is the growing prices of rent and mortgages, which take a huge portion of our salaries.

So it incentivizes people to shift their carbon emissions such as replacing their aging furnace with a more efficient one, or driving a more efficient car and walk more. When you put a price on pollution, people will shift their behaviour. When pollution is free, there is no incentive to curb pollution since it is free. For example, a person switching from a old gas guzzler car for a hybrid car can see a 40% drop in their carbon tax payment, but they still get the same rebate, which means the more they are careful with their emission, the more they save. So when it is time to replace your car, get a more fuel efficient one like I did.

We pay almost half of what my parents use at their house with a conventional thermostat. As for driving, I always wanted a 5l mustang as a kid, but when I finally got my career going, I grew up and made the good financial decision of buying a used hybrid. I get 800km per 55l of gas.

For short-haul you can electrify. For long-haul electrified rail should take over (if the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses). The problem with rail is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight. Right now all the valuable cargo is either moving by plane or truck because the rail companies need a lot of lead time.

I'm just confused how this tax deters people from spending their money on carbon emitters like gas. We are being told that 8/10 people in Canada get back more money than what they are spending in carbon tax. Doesn't getting more money from the rebate just leave me with more money to spend on gas??

@hosnimubarak8869 Месяц назад

A carbon tax raises the cost of carbon-intensive products like gasoline and home heating fuel and natural gas. In doing so, it will encourage consumers to find alternatives. That may mean taking more public transit or driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle. But it could also mean using smart home technology to heat your home or business more effectively or looking at a more efficient furnace. But the whole point is not to be prescriptive. It's not to determine by government which is the right way for each of us to reduce our emissions. Instead, the price lets us find our own ways that make the most sense for us. Those who use less fuel pay less tax, but still get the same rebate as someone who burns a lot of fuel - leaving them financially ahead by comparison. British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories follow their own carbon-pricing mechanisms that meet federal standards. Economists offer an analogy to explain that point. Consider a bar that raises the price of a specific beer by $5. When you walk in, the bar tender hands you $5 bill. You can buy the more expensive beer and come out no worse. Or you can pocket the five bucks and buy something else.

Canada is a large country and so much of our food are delivered by trucks, trucks use fuel which are taxed which in turn make the food delivered more expensive. Restaurants use natural gas to cook making their end product even more expensive. In fact every product we buy be it cloth, appliances require transportation, and that transportation is being taxed. The lie is saying you are only paying for the carbon tax at the pump and home heating. No it is added to the price of literally everything we buy. And poor people don't eat that much less food or wear much fewer clothes than rich people.

The problem is that incentives to change are largely irrelevant. I live in an apartment. I don't get to choose how to heat the building. I recently bought a car and looked into electric briefly before realizing I can't afford it and wouldn't be able to charge it in my building anyway. Whether I get the money I'm losing back in a rebate or not, the reality is that the tax is designed to try to force me to change my life in a way that I literally can't. It's governmental overreach - an attempt to force changes and behaviours that are neither practical nor possible for many Canadians. It's also political sleight of hand. It achieves almost nothing, but is designed to make the government look like they're doing something - like banning plastic bags. I was reusing my plastic bags as garbage bags, making them dual use items. Now I have to purchase single-use plastic garbage bags as well as purchasing reusable shopping bags that often contain high levels of plastic too. It's probably significantly worse for the environment, but Trudeau got to pat his own back and pretend to care about the planet, which, again, was the whole point.

@joeisawesome540 Месяц назад

Yes, but I think you are overestimating how much shipping cost is fuel. A loaded semi hauls around 40k of goods. A fully loaded semi uses 40 litre of diesel per 100m. Carbon tax is at 14 cents a litre which means if you are delivering 40k lb of cabbages it will use 800l of gas and pay 120 in carbon tax. Divide that among the cabbages, and you will get an increase of 0.3cents per lb of cabbage. If you go, what if they only carry 20k lb, the semi will also use less diesel, and 2000km will cost around 0.4 cents per lb of cabbage. A little bit more but not significantly more. This is why people are confused about how little carbon tax has on the transportation of food.

To what degree has the carbon tax actually changed consumer behaviour since it was introduced? Making gasoline more expensive, for example, has no significant impact on its consumption by individuals who need to commute by car to their work every day, or no significant impact on energy costs relating to transportation of goods in our economy. Until there are realistic alternatives to existing energy sources, current levels of energy consumption for the most part will need to continue. Also, while this carbon tax will continue to increase the cost of everything, I doubt it will have any significant impact in terms of reducing global warming in future? It's all smoke and mirrors!
