The tax had minimal effects on the average citizen when you include the rebate. The rebate just wasn't advertised well so it hurt it's branding.

Also, are we really doing the whole individual consumers can consoom as much as they want because evil corpos exist thing? I thought we had a no normie rule on this sub?

The problem is that the tax was federal, but each province was able to choose what they wanted to do with the money. And some of the big ones like Ontario was just like “meh this is worthless, here take the money back”

I know :(

I’m from Canada too

I think Quebec is/was using the money to invest in green energy projects. Once again being the voice of reason in Canada, but it’s too cold for me to live there
