On April 1, Canada's carbon tax goes up. Again. But when you factor in the carbon tax rebate, do you end up getting back more than you pay? Andrew Chang breaks down the finances of the carbon tax and why the answer is more complicated than you think.

Except it's not just the CBC, it's at least 200 economists, some studies, banks... Basically the idea that the carbon tax is causing inflation is popular on the same right that rejects the existence of global warming and doesn't want to do jack. In fact, they want to subsidize the oil even more because "CO2 is plant food" - even if they don't want to receive 50 pizzas for tonight... Pizza is human food, so getting more Pizza means humans will grow quicker, right? Certainly there would be no side effects to eating 50 pizzas tonight!

Large business's have CEO's who get bonus's which is deducted from the corporate tax being paid. Remember PM Harper ? Well, it was his corporate scheme to lower the corporate tax and did so even though nobody took to the streets to demand lower corporate taxes. A few weeks later, he came up with the scheme and premise to inform Canadians that Canada could no longer afford Canada Pension. That blew up in his face and now Poilivre is the next Corporate Messiah to run for PM which brings me to wonder who will pay for all the things that lower corporate taxes no longer pays for ? Well, higher taxes along with a higher deficit may be passed on while the banks provide more credit cards with higher interest with their own cash back schemes. Who pays ? Well, it isn 't the retailers as they simply charge more for their goods and services with a little extra so they get some cash back too. Guess you pays the higher prices or do you really believe it all comes down to higher shipping and productions costs ?

@jamesphillips2285 Ай бұрын

Yes! If the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses: they should be able to handle the long-distance movement of goods. Since rails don't move: they can electrify quite easily without massive batteries (using overhead lines). The problem is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight.

This analysis does actually help a it to understand the numbers, though as with most it’s still missing some fundamental aspects. One being what is surely the astronomical cost to taxpayers to fund the government (and banking) administration of this tax and return scheme. Second, is it having the desired effect - are people buying and burning less fossil fuel? That should be easy to find out. Third and most importantly, is it having any measurable effect on climate change? When asked, the experts say “it’s complicated”. But we’re doing it anyway despite the fact that Canada’s contribution to GHGs are miniscule on the global scale. Rather than continue a dubious social engineering experiment, we should be funding R&D toward migration to alternative energy such as nuclear and to adaptation of human life in a changing climate (if, in fact, it is changing fundamentally or only cyclically).

@hosnimubarak8869 Ай бұрын

A carbon tax raises the cost of carbon-intensive products like gasoline and home heating fuel and natural gas. In doing so, it will encourage consumers to find alternatives. That may mean taking more public transit or driving a more fuel-efficient vehicle. But it could also mean using smart home technology to heat your home or business more effectively or looking at a more efficient furnace. But the whole point is not to be prescriptive. It's not to determine by government which is the right way for each of us to reduce our emissions. Instead, the price lets us find our own ways that make the most sense for us. Those who use less fuel pay less tax, but still get the same rebate as someone who burns a lot of fuel - leaving them financially ahead by comparison. British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories follow their own carbon-pricing mechanisms that meet federal standards. Economists offer an analogy to explain that point. Consider a bar that raises the price of a specific beer by $5. When you walk in, the bar tender hands you $5 bill. You can buy the more expensive beer and come out no worse. Or you can pocket the five bucks and buy something else.

Do we still waste food? Sure, but now waste less than 200 bucks a year. Not only did we reduce our waste but also carbon tax. We also got a smart thermostat and we lower our temperature when people are working and at night when we are sleeping. We pay almost half of what my parents use at their house with a conventional thermostat. As for driving, I always wanted a 5l mustang as a kid, but when I finally got my career going, I grew up and made the good financial decision of buying a used hybrid. I get 800km per 55l of gas. This reduced my carbon emissions and taxes from driving by 1/3 compared to my parents who are driving conventional cars.

Yes, but I think you are overestimating how much shipping cost is fuel. A loaded semi hauls around 40k of goods. A fully loaded semi uses 40 litre of diesel per 100m. Carbon tax is at 14 cents a litre which means if you are delivering 40k lb of cabbages it will use 800l of gas and pay 120 in carbon tax. Divide that among the cabbages, and you will get an increase of 0.3cents per lb of cabbage. If you go, what if they only carry 20k lb, the semi will also use less diesel, and 2000km will cost around 0.4 cents per lb of cabbage. A little bit more but not significantly more.

For short-haul you can electrify. For long-haul electrified rail should take over (if the rail companies can get their heads out of their asses). The problem with rail is that North American rail companies are currently obsessed with "precision scheduled railroading". This is a system of cost-cutting involving running overly long trains to save on infrastructure and staffing costs. The problems are: 1. Long trains no longer fit in sidings, so trains can't pass one another 2. Long trains get delayed, so staff are forced to work unpredictable hours 3. The lack of scheduling means that the railroads can only move low-value bulk freight. Right now all the valuable cargo is either moving by plane or truck because the rail companies need a lot of lead time.

Wouldn’t need a rebate if there wasn’t a tax. People ain’t even getting the full amount this is what Pierre’s been hammering on in the House of Commons. This tax has done absolutely nothing what has the government done with everyone’s money nothing. 8 years of this and I don’t see anything in the works to reduce carbon have you seen anything I haven’t.

If you emit less carbon, from a flat rebate, you make money. If you emit more carbon, from that same rebate, you lose money. The incentive is to emit less carbon.

@guythetechguy Ай бұрын

@@deaddynamite8568That sounds good on paper but I don't think that people consume less gas when prices go up. A lot of the demand is not elastic, people can't afford an EV, they can't afford not to go to work. The cost of managing this program and the rebates further complicates things. I can get behind moving away from fossil fuels (and I have, I drive an EV and I use a heat pump for my house) but this method seems very iffy.

@joeisawesome540 Ай бұрын

@@lada152 you said you watched the video, and you still don’t understand how carbon tax works? Are you kidding me? It very simple, the less carbon you produce the more money you make. So it incentivizes people to shift their carbon emissions such as replacing their aging furnace with a more efficient one, or driving a more efficient car and walk more. When you put a price on pollution, people will shift their behaviour. When pollution is free, there is no incentive to curb pollution since it is free. For example, a person switching from a old gas guzzler car for a hybrid car can see a 40% drop in their carbon tax payment, but they still get the same rebate, which means the more they are careful with their emission, the more they save. So when it is time to replace your car, get a more fuel efficient one like I did.

Running the numbers you show at 5:28 through a very simple spreadsheet, I can see that those who get a rebate receive a total of $29102. Those who pay more pay a total of $1876. So a difference of almost $28000 needs to be made up (this number would have to be scaled up to represent the actual population). Does this come right out of Trudeau's pocket? I doubt it. Most likely the difference is made up from commercial and industrial taxpayers who then roll the extra costs into everyday goods and services. But since those numbers are never published, one can only guess how much that actually is. The only clear thing, is that these numbers posted make zero sense and are designed to make people believe that they are getting more back than they pay. The real math is insanely simple. Show us how much the government raked in from carbon tax vs how much they paid out in rebates. But I'm guessing we will never see that because that would be actual reporting and not propoganda.

You haven't touched on the fact that every thing you buy or use has to be made and transported. those manufacturers and truckers pay the carbon tax and add it into their pricing. I was unaware of the actual carbon tax added to diesel fuel, but $21 odd dollars per 100 L means that when I used an average of 700 L per week (since retired) I would be paying some $147 in tax that would be passed on to the shipper in fuel surcharges, which they in turn passed on to their distributors with their own tax burden, and so on to the consumer.
