Yes I received a rebate that covers an insignificant fraction of the Carbon taxes that I paid throughout the year.
If that's truly the case then you're exactly the kind of person that the tax is made for.
If you're including a perceived increase in prices in things that's aren't petrochemicals then you're misinformed as the carbon tax accounts for so little of the price increases that it's not even worth talking about (0.15% of the inflation in 2022 based on a study made by the parliamentary budget officer).
I'm interested what you spend your money on that's so Carbon Tax heavy. I live super far North, use 6000l oil to heat my home every year and the rebate I get would cover around 11000l of oil. So 50% of the annual rebate (it's 4 payments per year btw) covers my heating, and 50% covers driving and indirect costs. I also take advantage of grants and rebates for upgrading my home where I can (I don't know if they are funded from Carbon Tax though).
