The carbon tax paid c.80% of citizens more than it cost us. Only the wealthiest polluters were out of pocket. Cancelling it expressly benefits the wealthy while impoverishing the rest of us.

Plus, we need more robust climate policy, not less of it.

You are correct. It is just automated tax filing. Dang 😡

Background: Low income Canadian lost out big time with the cut of the federal rebate. This is not a new program to inject more money into low income households.

Wonderful news before a long weekend. Hopefully this makes up for the loss of the Carbon Rebate which had a disproportionate impact on low-income earners.

In two weeks, we’ll be on Parliament Hill asking our MPs to “Meet the Moment.” The economy’s transformation is already underway, and we want our MPs to know we’ve got their back on climate.

The good news is that the transformation of our economy will not be linear, and change is already underway. Our MPs must meet the moment, and we want them to know we support them in doing so.

Hey @mark-carney.bsky.social why is Canada fast tracking new #LNG projects when the price of gas is negative?

This is a tragedy and it's not on the horizon. It's right here right now.

Canadian Gas Hits Sub-Zero as LNG Plant Hiccups Keep Supply High

Canada’s benchmark gas price has tumbled to a record low as production hiccups at the country’s first LNG export plant on the British Columbia coast contributed to a surplus of supply.
