Dante even if I lower my carbon footprint everything else will increase with the carbon tax.  Everything you buy has to come from somewhere and it is trucked in and those trucking companies have to pay for their increase in the cost of diesel fuel somehow. I also live in a area where there is no public transit so no matter what I have to drive. The carbon tax was a joint agreement with the Feds and Province.  Trudeau has a bigger carbon foot in a year then I'll have in a lifetime so I am pretty carbon neutral
 As for the hydro and the ON Gov't that is the perfect example of giving and taking.  Too bad for you that you can't figure that out.
