Gonna file this under “Christmas Family Dinner Rebuttals” for later.
Pfft you're gonna believe some ivory tower elites in...

...Alberta?
I'd wager a guess and say that most used their carbon tax refund like I did which was pay bills/buy groceries
Now tell this shit to lil PP and his cult.
It also had a negligible impact on carbon emissions.
In part because the idiots who opposed it bought bigger shiny new trucks they'll never use for purpose. Filled up their extra large tanks and burned as much fuel as they could in spite.
Vehicle taxes should be based on weight and square-footage between the bumpers. All of a sudden a compact pickup gets taxed like a minivan and the Ram 23,000: Spousal Abuse Edition, with the same size box, gets taxed like a tank. This also evens the playing field a bit with ridiculous EVs like the Cybertruck (3 tons) and Hummer (4 tons) that put extra wear on the road. (For comparison an Ioniq 5 SUV only weighs 2 tons)
