It's going to be a shock to many uneducated blue voters when those cheques disappear and the drop in price at the pump isn't enough to cover the difference. In fact the PBO's report estimates that the first three quintiles of Canadian earners will be worse off (from a combined fiscal and economic perspective) if the Carbon Tax were to be repealed. But that won't stop working class folks from buying into the notion that the tax is bleeding them dry.
