I would like a clear answer to is where has all the money gone and what EXACTLY was it spent on, after all it is our money and we are forced to pay it so you must tell us where and how you spent the money, if not , I wish the provincial governments would have the BALLS to not collect the money period  |
It is a little bit early to be hitting the bottle.
A carbon tax is a tax levied on the carbon emissions from producing goods and services. Carbon taxes are intended to make visible the hidden social costs of carbon emissions. They are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by essentially increasing the price of fossil fuels. This both decreases demand for goods and services that produce high emissions and incentivizes making them less carbon-intensive. When a fossil fuel such as coal, petroleum, or natural gas is burned, most or all of its carbon is converted to CO2. Greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change. This negative externality can be reduced by taxing carbon content at any point in the product cycle.
You either already know this, or it is just too over your head.
