  1. Giving less taxes to this government will help to improve every Canadian’s lives. How can anyone say they underestimated the cost of the Carbon Tax. We all need to fuel our vehicles and heat our homes

  2. I don't know how they could evaluate the carbon tax's impact to both the consumer and industrial areas. This is not a video game or computer program that you can simulate with various factors. The only truth is laid out in front of every Canadian resident: how much the food and transportation costs everyone, is it better than pre carbon tax or post carbon tax? I don't see how we could help the environment or climate by adding carbon tax on everyone's expense list. The whole idea is stupid and unpractical. They just wanted to make up some number to prove their decision is not wrong. But who really cares? It feels hot outside no matter what your weather cast says. Get rid of the carbon tax, nobody asks for it.

  3. Ok but why wouldn't you include the carbon tax paid by industry? It affects the prices of everything.
    What's happened here is that Trudeau's ppl have invented a flaw, then pressured the PBO to announce a "correction". We know this is the case b/c it's consistent with how Trudeau operates, and again, including the tax on industry in the calculations makes perfect sense.
