> structured in a progressive way that's a financial benefit to most people I think most people are unable to draw a line from the carbon tax to how it financially benefits them It has had a very visible surface level impact of making gas more expensive at gas stations, which is very clearly not a financial benefit for individuals who drive gas cars People need a concrete reason to believe that this puts money in their pocket. Not some just some vague assurance of "This financially benefits you"

Maybe digital money is too ephemeral and the government should have insisted on mailing paper cheques to everyone.
