Judges grill Ontario over Doug Ford's carbon tax challenge
https://www.nationalobserver.com/20...-ontario-over-doug-fords-carbon-tax-challenge
......
The court questioned whether residents will actually be paying more.
“How is it a burden if 90 per cent of the money goes back to the same people who paid it?” one of the justices asked the provincial government's lawyer.
Ontario attorney Josh Hunter replied that the rebate don't consider the differing needs of different Ontario residents. Those living in rural areas, for example, face a higher tax burden and increased heating needs, he argued.
In fact, the federal plan provides for those in small and rural communities to get an extra 10 per cent back "in recognition of their increased energy needs and reduced access to energy-efficient transportation options."
Hunter said there was no guarantee that the rebates would be used by residents on climate action. In fact, he said they "could be used to buy a Hummer.”
