The lower income earner of every household should be getting these. At my house, that's the missus, so I don't know a lot about it. I think its about $130 four times a year.
Have you filed you taxes the last couple of years?

Ontario doesn't have there own carbon tax (if they did they could spend the money however we wanted), so we are under the federal program which pays back 90% of the carbon taxes.
This is why I say it's not about the environment, it's just a wealth transfer - from higher income earners who spend more than average on fuel and heating to lower income earners who spend less on fuel and heating.
And the sooner people realize that IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CLIMATE, the better. It's a vote buying wealth transfer - that's all.

If the transfer of wealth is between me and the missus as she is the lower earner I really don't' think the $500.00 a year is going to radically change society and turn us from a Conservative heaven to a Socialist hell. All the missus need's to do is divorce me and she has hit the jackpot.

That would actually be funny if it wasn't so close to the truth.

Maybe Han Dong could explain where our rebates are

Perhaps you chaps should look a little closer at your bank statements?

Its really not that hard to find from my own account Climate Action Incentive, Canada Deposit $ 139.75 Jan 13/2023
Climate Action Incentive ,Canada Deposit $ 139.75 Oct14/2022
Federal payment ,Canada Deposit $ 279.50 Jul16/2022


CAI payments for 2023-24 will be disbursed as follows:

Residents of Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Saskatchewan will receive four equal quarterly payments (April 2023, July 2023, October 2023, and January 2024), as these provinces are already covered by the federal price on pollution.

My family in gas alone pays approx 800.00 a year in CO2 tax, that's just fuel and does not include groceries (CO2 tax is passed on by the suppliers.) If i was sit down and fully figure it out were probably looking at 1000.00 bucks a year in CO2 tax. Pretty sure the rebate isn't that high.

According to the chart a family of 4 should be getting $244.00 x 4 so about $976.00p.a.

P.S. That makes us only $24.00 short and we can then get you to join the "dark side" LOL

I received 2 cheques in the mail I can remember for about $100. I don't do direct deposit from those guys.

(I believe the rest came with my tax return)
