Maybe Cameron's group calculated based on average fuel consumption, which is 9 litre/100 km in North America.
Maybe Cameron has a point.
then there is reality
the fuel economy stats they quote are bullshit
the ones the car companies put out, complete bullshit
the vehicle I drive, I get 20-30% less than the sticker on it said when it was new, I've never gotten anywhere near what it said was average, not even close, even driving like a 80 yr old with a hat on who can't turn his head to do a shoulder check
out:
and that's with about half being highway miles
and you're missing the rest of the equation, it isn't just gas, which even in your calculation is already about half of the rebate
it's worse if you're a family you don't get the same amount times how many kids/people in your family, you get a set amount, not 300 per person
or if you make over the cut off amount, you get nothing back
it's natural gas, it's food, it's everything you buy, it's all going to have the carbon tax added, compounded
not to mention the GST, which Trudeau isn't giving back
there's GST on the Carbon Tax, just like on the tax on gasoline tax at the pump
he doesn't have a point, he's spewing verbal diarrhea
and it's already been reported that for the Carbon Tax to really change peoples behaviour, it would have to be in the 100+ range
which is double his top amount
which would drive the economy into a recession
not to mention, how anyone thinks you're going to get your emissions to go down when you're importing a small city worth of carbon using people every year is just plain simple
look at the "poser" environmentalists in BC, look at the amount of gas being sold there now, and when their carbon tax was implemented
people just stopped due to the increase, then just sucked it up, cause it wasn't enough to bankrupt them and went back to their normal behaviour
you need, less people, plus better tech, which isn't here yet, at scale
or you pile drive the economy
and then you still have India, China, the US and Russia spewing emissions anyway
so it's kinda pointless, it's window dressing
to make people feel good about themselves, even though it really is like spitting in the ocean
it ain't going to make a difference
they haven't met one target since this BS started, cause to do so would require too much
