Now called the output-based pricing system , businesses polluting more than 10,000 tons of carbon per year are exempt from paying carbon tax on the fuel they use for their operations at the point of purchase.
Of course, regular folks don’t have this luxury. Every cent of fuel you purchase for your car is taxed, although low and medium-income consumers do get carbon tax rebates. Apparently they used to get various carbon tax breaks, but had to pay suppliers the carbon tax and apply for their exemptions themselves later.
It should be obvious by now that regardless of who you elect, government works for big business. At one point the NDP was the party that stood up to corporate abuse. That was the party I once supported. How things have changed.
