People chose market solutions over harsh regulations and now the consequences for that are coming and many are crying about it.
I like the carbon tax and wish it was substantially higher. I live in an efficient way (condo living, bike everywhere, plant based diet) and from the people around me it sure feels like the carbon tax is far too low to make them reconsider any of their actions. I still see people constantly idling their cars for no reason and that’s the least of it.
Same, I agree, the majority of Canadians are net receivers, you have to work pretty hard to engage in enough emissions generating activities to actually be a payer. But many won’t see it like we do, unfortunately.
I mean, good, the outcome is as intented.
