I don't know if I'm middle class anymore. But I pay taxes on everything. I get none of the grants. I work as much overtime as I can and every bill keeps going up. I'm not saying carbon tax won't work but fucking pause it for a bit so I can afford to fucking eat.

If you're in a province where the carbon price is federally run, you get the rebate. The average person should break even with the rebate.

You need to make less then 60 grand to get rebates. I make more so no rebates

Edit 50 grand . In my case I make enough that I get nothing back. This whole family income deal sucks.

You must be thinking of a different grant, or you're in a province where the carbon price is not federally run. The federal Climate Action Incentive payment is disbursed to everyone.
