Canada’s environment and climate change minister acknowledged that the average household may eventually pay more for the carbon price than it gets back in rebate payments, but says the Liberal government has other programs to help Canadians lower their energy costs overall.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday that while the “average household will pay more” because of the carbon price increase, even after the rebates, he says the system is designed to be proportional, meaning wealthier Canadians will still foot larger bills.
“This is another way we're helping Canadians reduce their environmental impact, but also their overall energy costs,” he said, adding the PBO’s report does not take into account the cost of the impacts of climate change.
Climate Change, unquestionably a challenge...Carbon Pricing (tax-rebates) unjustified failure...join the Canadians facing financial quality of life and then spoute your marble-mouthed politics.
Idiot!
It’s time for a change! This government is out of touch with reality!! Trow out all that bullshit tax that doesn’t do anything but claim more money from Canadian!!
JustinTrudeau decided a Green Peace activist as our Environmental Minster was another appointment for Political points over merit No trust in anything liberal_party says or does
What’s the income threshold where zero rebate is paid back?
They know liberal voters are gullible so the same play works every time. This is why they go after young people. They are more idealistic and ask less questions about free stuff. They lied again, but liberal voters bought it. Again.
In other news that somehow eluded the propagandists at CTV, water is wet and the sky is blue
Libs discovering that Cdns arent stupid.
Steve says ''' NOT TO BE FOOLED BY A LIBERAL GOVERNMENT '''
You mean he lied? Colour me surprised.
s_guilbeault is a movement activist, and as such is not qualified to be a minister of the Crown, putting movement ahead of duty is unacceptable; a natural backbencher JustinTrudeau should accept his resignation. I say this out of concern for the integrity of our democracy.
Ctv do you remember all the news stories in 2015-2016 about the carbon scam do you remember all the small businesses in alberta that told all news media what would happen with this carbon scam , all the news media helped the liberals and ndp with all the carbon lies
Hahahah an activist who was arrested is jacking up taxes , we are suckers in Canada
Pay more and it will change nothing.
Shame on you for not doing your job and allowing yourselves to become corrupted by taking their bribes and leading us to this point. Shame on you.
If Canada didn’t have a PBO and Conservative opposition, Liberals with the support of the NDP would continue to stretch the truth and spread misinformation. I support Pierre Poilievre’s call to axethecarbontax
Can't believe anything that comes from this gvmt.
That’s impossible s_guilbeault said that was just misinformation being spread by the CPC_HQ so who was lying? Who is spreading the misinformation
Hi there CTV, will you be as diligent in your reporting to us on the costs to consumers by the Ford Govts privatization of health care? It will cost the average Ontarian far, far more than this. If you won't report on it, please explain why.
Anyone who actually believed that the government would collect a tax only to give it ALL back, should immediately qualify for disability based on mental impairment.
So CTV has been lying to us along with the Liberals. Canadians already knew it was a lie
s_guilbeault lies some more.
These guys have spent years on this project with nothing to show for it, except more virtue signaling. I would rather keep cash in my pocket than them taking it and giving some of it back. They keep the GST though.
Also ignoring the inflation the carbon taxes puts on all goods and services, not just energy. Govt’s cannot successfully fight pollution by increasing tax burdens. Private sector innovation is the way.
The Trudeau Liberals are taxing us all to death.
Terrible government
That guy's 'A piece of work' ...
Liberals caught lying again, typical
You'll never see any tangible numbers that show progress from this person. It's all virtue signaling and no results - at a high price for those who can afford it the least.
Oh weird liberals lie....imagine that?!?!?!?!
You're right. The people under the liberals can't afford food, clothing, housing, heat, and gasoline. Everything up this is May 2022 1 year ago. It is more expensive now, and going up on April 1st
Never reduced emissions, so it’s intent is an abject failure. Great revenue stream though!
The climate gods will only be sated when we have all starved to death.
Context.
Not just the fuel prices but the cascade effect across the entire economy with all prices being affected.
It is a punitive tax. We all knew it. TrudeauMustGo
Nothing a good tax won’t fix maybe try technology
Vote CPC for more money and less communist weirdo stuff in your life
No tax in this world gives you more than you pay. It's called a tax for a reason.
This cuck belongs in jail. Instead blackface makes him a member of parliament.
You guys at the msm act surprised We , the people knew this all along . Now tell me who’s daft !
Stop paying them for doing a bad job.
So he lied this whole time?
He said gas has gone up
Liberal Cruelty knows no bounds Even after the Liberals have sent the most Canadians in history to local food banks due to the Liberals Inflationary Economic Policies, they want to take as much as possible from Canadians pockets Truly disgusting LyingLiberals
Like somebody making minimum wage driving a Honda civic 1991 to work at a resturant paying 1.80 $ a liter for gas should eat less so the earth's temperature wouldn't rise 1 degree 100 years from now
Why wouldn't he defend a criminal tax that attacks Canadian families and does nothing to help anything. The liberals don't care about Canadian families. Period.
ClimateScam
Liberal cruelty knows no bounds LyingLiberals
This is unacceptable! What else are the Trudeau Libs misleading us on? Guilbeault puts his unrealistic climate goals before Cdns standard of living…. He is not acting in the best interests of Canadians. We cannot pay for the world’s pollution with Canada’s wallet, not my quote.
Carbon pricing, on a household level, is not a system where the mathematical 'average' is relevant. The rich pay more, the working class pay much less or make money. Rich people have massive carbon footprints.
So they lied to us, again.
MAY EVENTUALLY PAY MORE…
LesMCGregor2 Financial RAPE using Climate & carbon as their CONDOM
Not a big deal. Take a few billion $ from the Westons or the Rogers - they’ll barely feel it, and that’ll pay for most of the offsets 🤷🏼♂️
He is out of touch with reality
were paying more and getting nothing in return , little evidence this tax is actually doing anything to help the environment especially with other countries doing so little to reduce there emissions
Noting that top 20% will pay much more, bottom 20% will receive substantially more and middle 60% will pay somewhat more. Those with the biggest carbon footprint will pay the most, those with the smallest will get much more. Cause that's how incentives work.
An average of quintiles is not an average household.
Climate hoax Climate scam It's just a way to control people It's just a way to steal more money from the population People needs to wake the F up, but the problem is people loves to live on their knees like sl*ves!
duh
Beware the communist trojan horse!
Of course he defends it, it's pouring money into this man's pocket
Canada’s population of 38mil is approx .475% of earths population. Under JT we are going to solve global climate change by the Carbon Tax. Meantime, 70% of earths population has no carbon tax and 65% represent (China,Russia,India, Brazil) the worst polluters. Makes sense?
Now if only we can get him to admit that the carbon tax does nothing to help climate change
Making life more affordable eh Libs?
The regime is garbage
Aside from the CTV news article I'm continuously amazed that Guilbeault a criminal is in a federal party
Funny thing is this will not do a damn thing for global warming. Just increasing taxes for Canadians.
Basically admitting that Trudeau was lying again
Finally s_guilbeault you are telling the truth. The US has lowered emissions more than us with no carbon tax. Remove all carbon taxes now! You are bankrupting us with this!
Yeah well temp changes over the years show that this is a load of shit.
The Liberals deliberately chose April 1st as the date for carbon tax grab hikes. Its the aprox date that Spring comes to Canada, and many poor, senior or fixed income households can turn off the home heat. They wont start starving/freezing to death until November.
You mean they lied to us? No!!
It has always been a lie since the beginning It’s just that liberals are caught in a lie again
Guilbeault is now calling Jagmeet a liar. What say ye theJagmeetSingh ?
I’ll be raising the rents on my liberal tenants this month by 25%. I have reassured them that I will be reinvesting that extra income in a new boat for myself. Everytime this government passes a new tax I intend on passing it down to the end user.
So he has been lying to us all along? And we need trust him? Not in a million years. If he can't be honest about the rebates then he isn't being honest with anything else
So,again Trudeau has been lying to Canadians.
You don't say. Duh. corruptliberals
Guilbeau talks about reporting? Can we get a report on how much the carbon tax has reduced Canada's emissions and how much less likely it's made the prospect of global climate change? They talk as if what Canada tax does is control bad weather in Newfoundland
Obviously we’re paying more…
That loser needs to be fired
Finally admits he has been lying for years
Here let me tax you to hire someone to give you back a portion of what we taxed you Definitely a net loss nothing was ever reduced by taxing it , drugs alcohol cigarettes cannabis, people need to drive and heat there homes , spend our tax money more wisely stop the carbon tax
This is rich coming from the guy who doesn’t pay his goddamned taxes. Thank you for making life more affordable for the middle class 🙃
Funny how ppl can think more tax will change the global climate given how little Canada contributes to that climate in terms of emissions and such. And then there’s the rest of the world ..
rexglacer And this is the same government that we're supposed to trust when it comes to Bill C-11? Wake up Canada!! When someone shows you who they're, believe them!!! This Liberal party can't be trusted with anything!!
So basically admitting that his government is impoverishing Canadian families.
Worst government ever.
Convicted felon says what?
No big deal. Who needs energy to warm houses in Canada anyways?
At least he’s being a little more honest than his leader.
Carbon tax should be abolished.
No shit 🥴
Canada has become a country of gullible rubes. Trusting the Lieberals with running a country anywhere but into the ground.
And yet everyone of the Liberal MP's including Grand poobah himself Truds took a nice raise. That's the price for screwing us over with a carbon tax that goes directly into nothing.
Climittard.
Yes Liberals tax your citizens while you give yourselves a raise
Climate SCAM
Liberals preach affordability and admit to costing the taxpayer more. It cannot be both. It’s time for a change.
maxfawcett, you were pushing the spin before. Care to retract?
Carbon taxes do not help the environment, they only help the government's pocketbook. That's it. (and it has already been spent many times over)
The sad part, Dan, is that ppl need him to admit that we will pay more before they will believe it (some still won't). How hard is it to figure out when Trudeau raises the tax on EVERYTHING that EVERYBODY will pay more? 🤷🤦
He’s a criminal. Taxing us won’t stop the climate from changing. This is a spiteful child getting back at everyone that wouldn’t listen to him years ago. Pierre4PM please
Misleading headline. From the report “we estimate that most households will see a net gain, receiving more in rebates from Climate Action Incentive payments than the total amount they pay”
Theives and liars. What else do you expect from Liberals.
Clearly we pay more. Nice way to transfer wealth of the working class to the poor, be nicer if industries that pollute would pay their share but I get it, tax the workers to death. Industry deserves better than the citizens.
He lied? What!? What!?
This is in typical liberal fashion. Push their talking points all the while their actions say otherwise. They keep offering rebates but all they have to do is cut the taxes and everyone would be fine but no they want the people dependant on the government..
How in christs name can they expect us to believe that they are going to charge us a tax and then somehow give us back more than they took?
So now the extremist admits he and Justin lies. Time for a change
All part of the Trudeau making it more affordable for Canadians, while never meeting their climate goals. Thank you Justin Trudeau and the rest of your cohorts in Crime-it-Change
ANOTHER LIBERAL PUSSAY
These taxes are just making Canadians poorer, while having zero effect on the climate. They are wealth redistribution schemes and nothing more.
What did you expect him to say, he does not like the carbon prices?
People getting what they voted for…👍🏿
So liberals have been lying to us for about the last five years. Situation normal.
Absolutely!! The liberals wouldn’t have it any other way. We will give you $3 but we are taking $10 back. So we now owe $7 more. Liberal logic.
Thanks for catching up
The mentality ill are in charge
Liberals scamming more people out of their money with this stupid tax.
So they lied again...
Of course we would pay more. It was a lie from the beginning. The whole carbon pricing scam was designed to make people use less of everything via punishment. Everything costs more because there IS NO alternative.
His colour is orange.
Bald faced liar knows the jig is up. We pay out the wazoo and this crooked government has nothing but debt to show 👎🏽
And we wonder why ! Every story is misinformation
Garbage reportage brings garbage politicians.
I have never got back what i paid yet
Ditch the tax and everyone saves money. It is just another liberal tax and spend scram.
He’s an absolute criminal and belongs in jail, AGAIN!
That thing should be back in jail.
Canada is trying to make its citizens rigjt the entire worlds wrongs. LOL. The only thing it's actually doing is ruining them financially! No future in that country.
And the world is still going to generate more CO2 than ever. And I have to be thankful for that. CO2 supports life and we need more of it. Too bad the Liberals are swindling Canadians out of their hard earned cash.
anyone who can do simple maths realizes you pay more, that’s not even accounting for higher food cost.
Only I individuals who are paying more are this in income brackets. CPC_HQ continues to support rich.
Government change would be better than climate change
It's okay. He gave himself a pay raise.
They want you cold and sick
And for what? Absolutely nothing. Their fake bs
So, 80% of Canadians are rich ?
After months of denials he finally admits they lied !
Never seen a rebate yet, neither has my 92 year old mother in law living in her own house on a small pension! What exactly qualifies you for these f$&&$ rebates? 🤨
A liberal might have actually told the truth? Stop it..
There it is, the Liberals admit to lying for years on this.
SO what CANADA VOTERS WANT COMMUNISM AND TO OWN NOTHING AS THEY WILL VERY SOON The vote for it Tired of these folks crying constantly YOU WANTED IT DEAL WITH IT
The carbon tax is layered throughout the supply chain and it makes everything more expensive . I live in a province that doesn’t have rebates and they promised it would be revenue neutral. Electing activists has extreme consequences.
Only losers living off gov stand behind Trudeau and his unqualified ndp regime
Why would he care? He’s an extremist making a massive six figure salary.
This is so typical of the lying sacks they are
Can’t defend that hairstyle though. YIKES!!😬
Oh, what? But all TruAnon & liberals MP’s have been lecturing us the opposite. You mean they lied? Isn’t that shocking…said no one.
Once a criminal.......
Hans Gruber.
Only the dense think they get back what they put in
Gee... YA THINK? Another Liberal lie busted.
Absolute disgrace when prices are so high on everything.
Let's get these guys out this time please. Unsure how the libs keep getting in ?
Carbon is plant food! These alarmists don’t understand the consequences of zero carbon! We all will die! This tax is punitive!
It's crazy that people don't see through this scam and still think it's for the environment.
Sure… 👇👇👇
Imagine being one of the few Canadians left gullible enough to believe what this bowl cut has to say?
Of course the climate activist by trade will defend the carbon tax.
The budget will balance itself guys not to worry!!
And just like that s_guilbeault destroys the Liberals’ main talking point that they’ve been using for the last 5 years. Everyone allows knew it was disinformation. natnewswatch, did you post this?
“Admits” that’s laughable spin. Guilbeault has been lying the whole time until now. I think that’s a better headline. Anyone with critical thinking skills knew this was the case from the get go
Wealth redistribution, socialism 101. TrudeauDestroyingCanada
Lower income Canadians will come out ahead on average and higher income Canadians will pay more. This is the way it should work
This is a tax. Plain and simple. Instead of taxes, provide incentives to be green. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
This is nothing compared to the digital revolution. Carbon assigning to control your entire existence. Keep calling them conspiracies fools. Seems to me most things you called conspiracies have now been implemented. 🤡
Lol - “rebates.”
Why are they saying the opposite in the HoC?
If I have to I will pay more because I believe in climate change and I have trust that the money being reinvested will improve our lives and next generations lives. I thank the government for leading us over the past 15 years.
Government: We'll take $10,000 from you in taxes and give you back $500. Canadians: Yeah, we're getting back more than we paid, AND we're saving the planet!
Way more. Meanwhile they haven’t even come close to hitting climate targets. Just making life more expensive especially for working middle class Canadians. Keep voting for the crap.
But according to liberal voters and ndp voters you get it all back in rebates and it help’s Canadians not harms them……… so I guess it doesn’t
We need an election and people need to think before they vote before we have no country left . LiberalsMustGo
⚠️WARNING ⚠️ liberal propaganda
A face made for a dartboard
and in the next election ... EVERY POLITICAL PARTY gets fired and the people TAKE IT ALL BACK ....ABOLISH THE LIBERAL. NDP and CONSERVATIVE gang party politics
They are decimating the middle class. The only thing worse than this government is the folks who continue to support it.
'Guilbeault defends carbon price, admits 'average household will pay more,' even after rebates' They need a further $2 billion for the Ukraine Keep paying your taxes Zelensky and Ukraine are depending on it .
2% of .04% This is the crime that says the government has a right to impose a crippling tax on people. 2% of the world's total .04% A carbon tax is not justified, it's beyond theft, it's punishment for not taking a knee to the new world religion.
Cap and Trade is sooooo much better and can't be used as a tool to attack like the carbon tax.... it's a political loser
So…misinformation and disinformation is coming directly from the feds. Anyone getting it yet? The ‘80%’ that they said would get more back, are you figuring it out yet?
Was there anybody who didn't believe the reason for carbon taxes was to make using energy more expensive? That's the crux of the whole thing I can't believe people needed s_guilbeault to admit it to get mad about it
Can we please stop voting liberal. I'm begging you. I can't afford this shit 🙏
Even after the liberal_party lie and get caught they continue their grift LiberalLies EconomicDisasterLiberalParty cdnpoli
At least he quit lying about it. I still don’t understand how a tax is going to change the climate. We need a new government.
Canadians are struggling and the liberals are taxing Canadians into poverty
Fools gold. Anyone with a brain knew that.
The solution is easy. Live in a shoebox. Never drive anywhere, never enjoy your life, and you’ll make money hand over fist with the rebates.
They want you to be godless, sexless, genderless, childless, depressed, anxious, afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated, living in a pod, eating bugs, and dependent on the state for everything.
Shocker - who would of thought people would be paying more ?!? Literally we are being led by clowns.
Truedope puts this little Asshole criminal in charge of the environment. It makes dog eating climate Barbie seem sane
taxflation ... Libs are doomed and we'll be worse off with Skippy . This is a rerun of the Wynne finale...
Anyone who believed that lie in the first place was crazy. Increases in carbon taxes only drove up the cost of goods and services. A do nothing tax is useless. Innovation not taxation is the answer
Liberals killed the middle class, but most are too clueless to even notice.
Maybe he should give back his raise. He received a 5k salary increase on April 1st. Not to mention a 15k pandemic increase. It is easy to afford a 30% for carbon increase when you are making over $280k . We need to demand the Liberal leaches step down and freeze their pay
Toss the buns out
Thank you to everyone who voted for the Liberal Government. We applause you. You deserve the biggest standing ovation ever. TrudeauForTreason
Wealth transfer. Greasy Progressives are the worst 🤷🏼♂️
Slowly eroding the middle class. It will soon be more lucrative to be on welfare.
Making life more affordable by raising taxes is a hell of a move
Quacks theJagmeetSingh can do something about that, but he's a rapacious money grabber, only looking out for himself Call in the government Non-confidence vote
So they’ve finally stopped denying it Their is no worse piece of scum on Earth than a Trudeau liberal! Absolute bottom of the barrel scum!
Buried in the article is the truth that 'the rich' pay more.
The liberal govt is trying to brag about making life more affordable while simultaneously raising taxes and running inflationary budgets.
