Don't Canadians see that when Carney suspended the carbon tax, he simply substituted tariffs. Seems obvious to me. Both are oppressive, job eliminating taxes.
There's a point at which total taxation gets to where it no longer provides value to the economy and stifles productivity, and I think Canada's past that, but the governments have thrown away so much money and accumulated so much debt that getting back to lower taxes is not going to be easy.
And, as for being revenue neutral the carbon tax never was due to the hidden costs and the additional personnel involved in collecting and enforcing it. Forgotten also, is the GST charged on the total price including the carbon tax.
Also, carbon taxes do not affect people evenly because some low wage earners, especially rural people where wages are lower and travel to work is necessarily farther, are in a situation that necessarily requires more use of fuels.
Some or even many of those people are essential to a smooth running economy and they were penalized heavily and the rebate came nowhere near compensating.

The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
Todd Dube was ...
