The Parliamentary Budget Office crunched the numbers and you will pay more on the carbon tax despite what the government claims.
The carbon tax rebate is based on the 15,000 km the average Canadian drives, that’s high for me but low for most families. So, if you live in a suburban area and need to drive the kids to hockey, soccer, swimming, karate, dance class, never mind commuting, then you will pay more.
According to the PBO, by 2030 when the carbon tax is fully implemented, the total cost to households after rebates will be significant. In Newfoundland and Labrador middle income households will pay $680 more annually after rebates, $929 in Saskatchewan, $1,028 in Manitoba, $1,118 in PEI, $1,127 in Nova Scotia, $1,269 in Ontario and $1,460 in Alberta.But Trudeau will keep claiming that people get back more than they pay and too many in the media will repeat that mantra without fact checking it.
The claim that the carbon tax is revenue neutral was always a claim about what the government would take in, not what you would pay. The PBO has shown the average family will pay more starting April 1.Share this Story:
