The federal natural resources minister says Saskatchewan residents won't get a carbon rebate, after the province announced Thursday it would stop remitting the levy on natural gas to Ottawa.

Duncan said the average household in Saskatchewan is expected to save about $400 this year as a result of the province no longer collecting the charge on carbon.

He added there is a report from the parliamentary budget officer that says Saskatchewan residents are to pay $600 more in levies.

Wilkinson said the rebate for a family of four in Saskatchewan is $1,500 and for those in rural communities it's $1,800.

Nice math morons.

Morons is being too nice.

Our annual rebate for a rural household of 2 adults is about $1000. That doesn't sound like much, but that represents 4% of our total pre-tax income from all sources.

Edit: we're retired, BTW.

You only have $25,000 as a pre-tax income for 2 people?

If you're not retired, it's time to start a union.

[–] jadero 2 points 1 year ago

Retired. I should have included that in my comment. I'll go back and do that now.

Thanks.
