You forget the part about how gov't takes the money and spends it. The worst part is that gov't spending is almost always very low productivity, so it just adds to inflation.
More federal debt = more tax money spent on interest = less money in the economy. Inflation solved.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Can someone explain the Climate Incentive Payments, where does that money come from, why does it vary for each province etc. I don't understand the point of it.

As mentioned, taxes can be ultimately triggered by inflation as they are a potential solution to the issue. Specifically with liquor or other "sin" taxes. Is its also an effective way to reduce the use of the product or service it taxes. Another example of a pigouvian tax is carbon tax. The theory is that the tax introduces negative externalities (ie producing less carbon) while raising funds to subsidize alternatives or support the individuals or business effected. As discussed, this what they government should do with the money raised but in our case, fucks it up.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Actually I address that specifically, even in the text you quoted. The principals are sound, the execution is often screwed up. Especially by governments that love to spend in areas to buy support. Also, I would like to know specifically how low productivity contributes to inflation. Low productivity can be a symptom of inflation and increasing productivity can help ease inflation but its my understanding that low productivity doesn't drive inflation without a 3rd party influence.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Problem is, more debt spooks market, Canada's credit rating lowered, Canada needs to up rates on bonds, causes inflation.
What makes you say this? Inflation is a relative measure not an absolute.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I say stupid shit all the time.
Some provinces use the federal rules, some provinces have their own carbon tax formula that's been accepted by the federal government. In theory the money in each province should go back to the province so a province that pollute more (Alberta's heavy industries for example) has a bigger pool to give back to consumers. Albertans also kind of get fucked because we rely a lot more on natural gas heating so each of us also pays more in tax.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So you pay more just so you get more back later

The carbon tax is theoretically revenue neutral.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So every dollar paid into it gets paid back to citizens.
Contrary to popular belief carbon taxes do not contribute anything to help the environment.
If you use more energy than average it’s a net negative to you, if you use less energy than average you net money back.

So on average, the carbon tax does nothing to reduce production of carbon dioxide. Got it.

I believe that it is possible for taxes to influence behaviour. I don't think this has been set up to do that.

I think we spend ~$100/week and ~$350/week at superstore and costco for us and are two little kids, but I don't actually keep track. I'm sure this is much more than we used to spend.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Edit: that’s with one takeout meal per week and one meal per week at one of our parents places. Maybe I need to start feeding my kids strip steaks instead of rib eyes.
