2019 can't come quick enough.... Arrrrgh
So in hind sight would it not have been better to have a small sales tax all along or is the Alberta govt planning on using this carbon tax as a different format of a sales tax? It's hard to understand the rebate end of it honestly. Can carbon tax be written off the same as a sales tax?
Frenchie has an open cheque book for that. Already gave away billions.Might as well create a tax for world peace. It would have the same effect on our planet.
Wonder what the " overhead " to collect enforce , account , and distribute a 23 $ rebate is ..
Lmao...
What a top heavy , redundant, bureaucratic, nightmare .....
Who in there right mind thinks these things up ....!!!
I see you stated "who in there right mind thinks these things up"
well there you go, when your brain functions in the same way as a spaghetti stranger you have your Answer.
I like the idea of just let people spend what they make and building confidence in business vs. Taking it from them.
There is no mention of the cost of electricity? How much extra are you guys going to pay for electrical consumption which is mainly derived from coal at the present and a huge carbon contributor?

As always , the NDP has not taken into account the added cost of doing buisness will be passed on to the consumer.... So in fact the costs to live will be much ,much higher than just the initial tax .
This reduces disposable income which in turn hurts all buisness.
Thus decreasing tax revenue accordingly.
So this tax is far from a wash !
The NDP will never understand this , as evidenced by their ability to totally bankrupt every province they govern !

Anyone remember the giant hole in the ozone that was a hot topic years ago? Any idea how big it is now?
Be thankful that Jack Layton had passed on. Not that im happy the guy died but if he was still alive I think there would be very little question it would be a federal NDP government running things today. Regardless of what party he represented Jack Layton would be in power today, unfortunate he represented the NDP
really????.............If Jack Layton were still alive, he'd be the pm?????...........look up in the sky ....see any flying pigs.....lolol
You would have to pretty close minded to think otherwise. Jack would have smashed Justin hands down. I'm not a NDP fan but he could talk circles around that stuttering fool Justin.
