The assumption is that higher income households usually use more energy since they have larger homes, possess more than one vehicle and tend to travel more.
The new report also provides slightly modified numbers for the four other provinces previously included in the federal backstop regime and that were the object of last year’s report. Giroux said those new numbers have changed “a little bit” since they take into consideration updated information on the economy, on the population and on income.
Terry Duguid, who is parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, brushed off Poilievre’s accusations and repeated his party’s talking point that eight out of 10 families would be better off with the federal carbon pricing regime. He said it would mean up to $1,000 for families in Nova Scotia or P.E.I. and $1,300 in Newfoundland and Labrador.
way yzgiroux report is being interpreted is so stupid. Simpler for PBO to ignore impacts of stimuli funds for green energy & changing usage vs impact of climate change costs if no pricing, but one has to wonder about the usefulness of his Table 2 given simplistic interpretations
CoryBMorgan Maybe they deserve it after voting liberals
Every single Canadian will be worse off
CoryBMorgan The maritimes are a paid liberal voting block.
No they won't. Stop rage farming
They keep begging to be punished by voting Liberal, I have little to no sympathy for eastern Canada
No shit!
It is now they are raping us
what's the point of paying for a PBO if govt ignores it?
7 yrsdown the road and no one knows what economic data will show.Bottom quintile will be better off; they are those at the bottom of the income scale;those at the top will be paying 4/5/6 grand more to moor their yachts;drive their two SUV's and fly to the Dominican 3 X / yr
Unfortunately the Atlantic provinces don’t learn. You get what you vote for. I don’t feel sorry
Not just the Atlantic
Fake news. Irresponsible reporting.
In BC we don't get one cent back if your family income is over 44000 dollars, 2 wage earners at minimum wage is 64000 dollars.
LOL, Nowhere is better off because of the Carbon Tax... Except for politicians and Gov. Employees.
And how will they fare with unmitigated climate change
No shit. That's what you get when you vote Liberal.
I would think most of rural Canada will be hard hit. This tax obviously favours very populated urban centres. Maybe that’s the plan of this lying gov’t. More division.
CoryBMorgan Who cares they are all welfare liberal failures.
EVERY province with possible exception of quebec
🤣🤣🤣 The Eastern provinces keep voting Liberal. What, exactly, did they expect? 🤔 The gravy train is coming to a stop. They already live in abject poverty now. No health care. No fishing. No O&G. No forestry. Liberals have been decimating the Eastern provinces for decades.
Cause they’re doing so well right now…
By 2030? The whole country has been worse off since 2015 but even worse off since CT launched in 2019.
Post Media are garbage.
LOL
Atlantic Canada has been guilty of voting liberal the last 4 elections. You gets what you gets.
Poilievre and the Conservatives should focus on those east coast voters who are getting set up by the Liberals to face a big carbon tax hit in 7 years. “Axe the tax” just might catch on in the Atlantic Provinces.
Atlantic provinces will be under water if we don’t act on climate change. There, fixed it for you.
But….Justin and Team keep saying Canadians will be better off financially, are you telling me they lied? Or maybe have no clue what they’re doing?
Oh well. If they don’t like it, just freeze their bank accounts.
Every province will be worse of in another 7 years of communism. By then, they'll probably be arresting socially dangerous elements(citizens), news articles like this will result in arrests for even implying the government made a bad decision. And you will probably be complicit.
Unfortunately, they deserve it for electing liberals
Liberal voters do it to themselves... high crime, high taxes, low services, corruption, and scandals.
That's all right; they will still support the Trudeau Liberals.
Well this is just too bad isn't it. They voted Liberal. You get what you deserve I guess.
Vote for pollive and it all goes away...
Tell them they won’t get their UI and you’ll get their attention. “Pogey is the testicles of the Maritimes. Anytime I want the Maritimes to scream, I squeeze on their pogey.” -Nikita Khrushchev (if he were alive)
Wonder why no doctors wanna live here...🤔
Why to the atlantic provinces keep voting liberal? For the handouts right?
But how do we rid ourselves of nasty CO2 if we don’t pay more?
EVERYONE will be worse off.
Good, they’re a good part of why Turdeau is in power. Elect a clown, expect a circus as they say. Maybe this news will persuade those liberal supporters to start thinking with their wallets and their heads
JT will just increase the handouts to compensate. When will those folks wake the hell up The shell game is as old as the hills.
If ever a movie could encapsulate the time warp our Atlantic Canadian brethren are encased in . Then I’d highly recommend the 1970 film , ‘ Going Down The Road ‘ They’ve known nothing other than thinking hardship & despair is their destiny . So they’ll perpetually vote Red 4 it .
They voted for it. They can all starve in their cold, dark shacks.
Well, no. Not really. But keep tgat propaganda pumping.
I don't understand how these continous carbon tax increases fight inflation? The cost of living including everything you buy including groceries will increase. The onetime grocery credit costing millions, you might as well wipe your ass with it. Liberal/NDP coalition 8sva farce.
Gosh not surprised at all.
Generational Liberal voting has consequences.. Maritimers are nothing more than kept pets.
The liberals promise the maritimes, western CDN’s great green jobs but are building all of the green infrastructure in Ontario and Quebec. They want a just transition but what are those outside Quebec and Ontario supposed to transition to?
Atlantic Voters: umm.... yeah Liberal. That's the ticket.
All Canadian taxpayers will be much worse off!
East coast is always worse off. Highest taxes, highest mortality, least days off, least reason to actually pay taxes to this failed govt.
News flash ... every single Canadian will be f*k'd beyond reprive. But hey ... all the media got the $600 million bail out to sell Canadians out, so there's that.
And yet they still vote liberal. What is that famous Forest Gump statement 'Stupid is....yada, yada, yada.' 🙄
I could not care less about those losers. They voted for it.
The Maritimes need housing, infrastructure, a source of natural gas to get off coal and investment. Instead, Trudeau bankrupts them with fruitless taxes while they go broke and die in hospital hallways. Quite a re-election campaign the Liberals have going there.
They vote Liberal. They have it coming.
That’s okay! We love his socks! 😍😍 JustinTrudeau IstandwithTrudeau
At this point,am fine with all/every Canadian suffering.We are in this together,once hard reality hits people would put their emotional attachment to the liberals and smell the coffee.Buckle up there will be more suffering
Question is really why does Quebec pay less carbon tax than the rest of Canada? Was something lost in translation from policy into French? Rest of Canada wants to know.
They will stay warm on Liberal Love 💕
…But Atlantic Canadians have long been supporters of this Liberal Government, especially the further east you go, lets wait and see how next winter treats them when homes need Heat, maybe Justin gives you another $20 in return for your $400.
Atlantic provinces are always worse off under liberals. As a former east coast Canadian I can confirm this reality. Unfortunately east coasters are the most likely to follow a dangling liberal carrot off a cliff; it's embarrassing to watch. Have they finally learned the lesson?
They should keep voting liberal
And the net impact on climate will be exactly ZERO. Carbon taxes are noting more than virtue signalling.
It’s gonna be worse for everyone, not just atlantic canada. But they voted for this useless government.
So why does Atlanta Canada keep voting liberal?
So weight the tax even further towards the top 1%. Make the rich pay for their massive carbon footprint.
Maybe they will quit voting Liberal.
7 year window to a future of misery. Keep the Liberals in till 2030 and the Atlantic Provinces will be singing along with Justin Trudeau as they are doing today. Remember. A Conservative shut down fishing and trained people for jobs in the oil patch.
Not according to the environment minister so you have to be wrong.
By 2030 lots of things will have changed
On which topic could The Post be less credible than energy policy?
Expect JustinTrudeau s_guilbeault and JonathanWNV to go on a massive disinformation campaign very soon.
I pay 26% tax on the propane to heat my home between hst and carbon tax, I was taxed $780 to heat this season. That’s after I pay 35% income tax taxgouging
PBO Yves Giroux is the most courageous public servant as he continues to report factually and objectively. Should we expect a new appointment of a friend of PM soon?
Voted Liberal. There ya go
Brilliant study. Anyone could have told you this
Tabloid.
That’s what happens when you allow the liberals to control your life from cradle to grave.
The people of the Atlantic provinces aren’t smart enough to understand the consequences of their support for Trudeau’s corruption. Oh well, wish them luck, and focus on the rest of Canada.
Who knew math was this hard for the Liberal government? WHO?
Good news, they get what they wanted.
Welcome to the circus.
This government's approach to 'tackling climate change' will hurt all Canadians. Their radical ideologies will do for more harm than they will ever do good. Canada is broken.
Know what else makes them worse off? Devastating storms caused by climate change. You don't report on that ever... 🤔
THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY TAX EMBEZZLING.
They piss and moan but keep voting liberal.
How dumb would one must be to believe taxing it’s citizens to save the weather then giving it back to them
Its a climatescam based on nothing more than money & gov overreach, another crooked tax avenue!!!! TrudeauCorruption TrudeauIsTheNewHitler
And yet they keep voting Liberal.
All provinces are worse off with these liberal stealing all our f****** cash
Come on, you are doing your part to “save” the planet. You do this so that you don’t feel guilty.
What happened to this 👇🏻cdnpoli
We will ALL be way worse off long before that.
Oh FakeFinds too, oui?
