... Did you read what I posted?
Yes there is a carbon pricing program, that was never up for debate. I pay it too (and get more back than I pay in).
And yes portions of provinces have been mislead because they seem to have no ability to actually validate what they hear on the news. You're a perfect example of that. You're clearly really angry, but the things you're angry about aren't actually true.
I'm assuming you've heard things said by the media, or conservative polititions and you just accepted it as fact and it made you angry. Which was their plan. The whole conservative strategy these days is to mislead their base, create division and make people angry. They don't have any substantial solutions for anything, but that's also ok because their base have been trained to not question anything they hear.
I highly highly encourage you question everything you hear in the media. Official sources (like canada.ca) are trustworthy, but you can also go even deeper and find actual bills. You can work yourself out of the hole you're in, it'll just take time, and you'll have to put in effort. I the current conservative controlled media landscape it takes constant effort to get real facts about things.
