British Columbia generally uses the Carbon Tax revenue to offset other government revenues (eg: lowering income taxes; a Conservative candidate campaigned on this federally in 2017 [1]), while the federal policy provides a flat rebate to taxpayers. They both attempt to be "neutral" in one way or another. I'm not sure which is better.
That said, the Carbon Tax is a bit of a wedge issue (federally) in Canada, as different regions are more suburban and car-dependent than others as well as other provinces historically have produced oil. Your lifestyle and outlook to climate change policy often influences your feelings on the topic.
