Aren’t corporations exempt from the tax and allowed to buy carbon credits at a much lower price instead? And aren’t entire industries exempt, like agriculture (the single largest generator of carbon emissions in Canada)?
And don’t those rebates for the carbon tax stop at just $61k income for an individual? Thats barely enough to buy a 50 year old trailer in BC (and you don’t own the land it’s on) last I checked. Considering the cost of living I’m sure that “low income” cutoff is way too low.
All that amounts to middle class people who are barely making their mortgage payments paying more than corporate giants are.
When you measure tax contributions as a percentage of total wealth, corporations and ultra rich always pay less than everyone else.
Carbon pricing is not intended to redistribute wealth.
Then what’s the fucking point. Wealth distribution is core of all problems in society.
we also don’t have evidence of this.
Wrong. You can literally do it with your own taxes. Go look up the corporate taxes for any public company (they’re public so they publish those numbers), and figure out what percentage of that company’s total wealth it is. Then compare that with how much tax you paid as a percentage of your total wealth.
You can even do it with billionaires because some of them, like musk, actually voluntarily share that info. Last year I paid over 20% of my total wealth in income tax alone, musk paid less 4%.

It was all group therapy and I hated repeating myself all the time.
My experience was similar.
You go to therapy to be listened to, and instead you end repeating yourself 100 times because nobody is fucking listening. It was legitimately more frustrating than not going, because I was literally paying money to have someone listen to me and they still couldn’t fucking do it.
The catch is that the politicians who promise electoral reforms would have to be able to win in the current system. And why would they want to change a system is which they are winners?
Trudeau promised electoral reform in Canada, which some people foolishly believed. The federal Liberal Party has won under the first past the post system many times in the past. It makes no sense to expect them to suddenly give an advantage to the underdogs.
That may be the case but it is not a rebuttal to my point.
Those things have had an i fluence on the perception of masculinity. And yes, TERFs have had an influence on the perception of feminism. And simply saying they don’t count isn’t an effective way of countering that influence.
He seems to be arguing against transparency and doesn’t really provide any reasons other than the company wanting to keep their negotiation info secret, which would seem to give an advantage to the company.
He spends a lot of time repeating his point in various ways without actually providing any reasoning except one sentence mentioning the above.
I agree with him that unions need to make a better effort to seek input from the members, but I’m far from convinced on his main point.
