Albertans to Receive First Carbon Tax Rebate This Week

Residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario are getting paid to help offset Ottawa’s carbon tax. Under the Liberal government’s carbon pollution pricing system, a price is imposed on provinces that do not have their own system which meets the federal benchmark—specifically Alberta, Ontario, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

Today the federal government releases the first batch of 2022 carbon tax returns to Albertans, according to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF).

Individuals and lower income families will likely benefit from the carbon tax rebates. However; the carbon taxes are potentially crippling for farmers, and other commercial operations that are forced to pay thousands into carbon taxes while trying to maintain profitability.

It is unfortunate to see public servants picking winners and losers in our industry and defending the redistribution of wealth inherent in the Liberal Carbon Tax.

The official declined to respond on the lack of fairness of the current rebate system.

For individuals and families the CTF estimates that from 2022 to 2030, the carbon tax will cost the average household a net total of $13,041 in Alberta, $8,091 in Saskatchewan, $8,059 in Ontario, and $6,439 in Manitoba.

The first round of the quarterly-based Climate Action Incentive (CAI) rebate starts with a “double-up” payment that returns proceeds from the first two quarters of the 2022-2023 fuel charge year. Two further single-quarter payments will be released in October 2022 and January 2023.

Single adults will receive $269.50. For a couple, or in the case of a single parent, the first adult or the single parent will also receive $269.50, while the second adult in the couple or the first child of the single parent will receive $135.

Additional children under 18—starting with the second child in the case of single parents—will receive $67.50 each.

The Federal government says the incentive payments mean 80% of families will be better off financially compared to what they pay in carbon taxes.

However, the parliamentary budget officer says when the total impact of Trudeau’s carbon tax on the economy is considered, 60% of families are left worse off.

Leslyn Lewis Defends Canadian Farmers They Keep Getting Attacked by this Liberal Government

The cost of living has gone up for all Canadians. But for those who produce food on any of the tens of thousands of Canadian farms, they’re feeling the pinch, too, with fertilizer and diesel prices skyrocketing in recent months.

Farmers were among the first to see the impacts of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Because those two nations are among the world’s largest wheat producers, the shock to the markets was felt in Canada, with high demand and high prices for Canadian grain.

The anger over the Trudeau government’s plan to have farmers use less fertilizer hasn’t boiled over in this country like it has across the Netherlands, but it’s getting there.

Liberals seem to think that they are experts in green technology as spoken by Mark Gerretsen on electric vehicles. May 5, 2022. Mark Gerretsen said in the House of Commons that the Conservatives are assuming that the entire technology is going to remain stagnant, and it’s not going to change in order to what’s going to happen and that electric vehicles are going to become easier to charge. Gerretsen said “It’s gonna become faster to charge. I’m going to tell you right now in 10 or 15 years from now, you will need charging stations other other anywhere other than in your own in your own home. You won’t need charging stations other than in your own home, and that technology is going to advance so quickly that a single charge in your home will be long enough.”
