PapyrusBrigadeI like the carbon tax. And I like the GST.Why?Carbon tax with rebate is a good carrot and stick approach to bring about behaviour change. Especially to reduce use of fossil fuels, which not only are burning up the planet, but literally fueling wars and genocide.GST helps catch gaps in the income tax system. Wealthy people can use tax shelters to reduce/avoid income tax. But its not as easy to avoid the GST. And wealthy spend a lot.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#taxation</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/GST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GST</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CarbonTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarbonTax</a>

Bri | 🚴📦💨✨ | 🏳️‍🌈I calculated it once using the CBC tool, the consumer carbon tax was netting me about $45/month ($540/year). Canada is one of the worse carbon emitters per capita and a carbon tax was literally the least disruptive, most neoliberal way to try to meet our emission reduction targets. Can't even keep it up for a decade. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CarbonTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CarbonTax</a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/CanPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanPoli</a>
