I hate the government putting their hands in my wallet for more, but if they are going to take that money, do something useful with it instead just giving it back!

The answer is already out there and has been discussed much. The provinces were given the opportunity to apply their own carbon tax and do what they wish with it. Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick chose not to do it. The only reasonable thing the federal government could do is refund most of the money back to everyone.
