Absolutely ridiculous. Why are we punishing people who are trying hard to conserve their resources and use less energy? The carbon tax is revenue neutral, if you burn less than the average person you are BETTER OFF with a higher tax. This is a GOOD tax for the poor, and the cons are using this wedge to hurt them

Heating oil is the worst form of heating for GHG, and yet because the Liberals hold seats in an area that's heavily invested in heating oil, we get a pass for heating oil. It's fucking bullshit. Tax everyone if you're trying to fix a problem this way.
