I’m Canadian and the only ones getting these rebates are dirt poor. Like families making under $20,000 in US dollars kind of poor.

Nice little scam they’ve got there...one that will surely bet bigger as time goes on. When one wants to boil a frog you don’t drop it directly into boiling water...it will jump out. You stick it in comfy water and slowly turn up the temperature.

And 80 to 90 percent of that money will go to the politicians corrupt cronies who will rebate it back to the corrupt politicians as campaign donation. We’ve all seen this play before.

And this is why the communists are pushing this “climate change” hoax so hard. Their “legalized theft” programs (existing taxes) are just not providing enough cash for their graft and corruption schemes and communist agendas. They drool over the trillions they could rake in new fees, taxes, regulatory fines, etc. from “climate change” regulations. They also drool over the trillions in IRA/401k accounts as well. They want to confiscate these so badly that they can taste it. Communists should be hanged...after a fair trial, of course. Those that support them, need to be locked back up in the insane asylums.

"Canada needs to be great again. I am not sure Canada has a Trump in them."
For now they have to endure obama-lite. It's mourning in Canada. I grieve for them.

but most of the countrys households will still receive more in rebates than they initially pay, Income redistribution.
BTW-Does anyone really thing the government is going to give this money back?

Sounds like this part of the article is just a big lie then As the old saying goes, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Does anyone really thing the government is going to give this money back? According to the article, households "can expect to receive" (not that they will actually receive) 80% of the total C$2.81 Billion in carbon taxes that will be collected this year (that is $2.1 Billion in US dollars). That means the government's initial cut of the action is 20%, which of course will only increase over time. I calculate this year's government take at C$562 Million (US$420 Million).
$500 Million here, $500 Million there, eventually it starts to add up to real money, especially considering you are talking about a country with a total population of only 37 million.
