How can anyone even pretend to believe the BC carbon tax is about reducing carbon emissions when low income people receive carbon tax rebates? The never ending "eat the rich" politics in Canada ensures carbon taxes will never reduce emissions.  

Any Canadian politician who advocates exempting low income Canadians from doing their share to reduce global emissions has also exempted the majority of the Chinese and Indian population as Canadian low income would have a higher income than most middle class people in those countries.

How could that ever be effective?
