The parliamentary budget officer has consistently found that nearly all households receive more from the carbon tax rebate than they pay in direct and indirect costs. Only households in the highest income quintile are projected to pay out more than they receive — because they consume more.(ex: Pierre Poilievre’s salary is $287,400 (2023).
Repealing the carbon tax could actually leave many Canadians worse off.
Concerns about the impact of the carbon tax tend to ignore the fact that the policy has two parts — a fuel charge collected by the federal government and a rebate that returns 90 per cent of the revenue generated by the levy to Canadian households.

Pierre Poilievre proud fighter of the carbon tax
Common NONsense Conservative Government
Pierre Poilievre leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, painted a grim picture of Canada under the Trudeau government.“After eight years of Trudeau, everything costs more, work doesn’t pay, housing costs have doubled,” he said. “Crime, chaos, drugs, and disorder are common in our streets.”
He neglected to point out that dogs continue to piss on fire hydrants and pigeons defecate on statues.
By contrast, Poilievre pledged to “bring home the Canada that we know and love.”
Presumably he would eliminate Trudeau inspired out of control wildfires, floods, social media,wars and pandemics along with the dreaded carbon tax…
Asked about a top priorities if elected, Poilievre listed repealing the carbon tax.
