Mr. O'Toole is clearly ignorant of the fact that the federal carbon levy is 100% returned to the provinces in which those revenues were collected, with 90% going *directly* to individuals and households and the other 10% to small business and institutions. /2 #cdnpoli https://twitter.com/erinotoole/status/1305569385013293058
2/ Eighty percent of recipients of the fully refundable tax-credit have their carbon levy costs fully recompensed; many are in "profit". The other 20% - who presumably have large carbon footprints - have their extra costs subsidized by the tax-credit.
