Canada ’s carbon tax has reduced emissions and put money in the pockets of Canadians .

The levy, endorsed by conservative and progressive economists, has survived multiple federal elections and a supreme court challenge.

But a persistent cost-of-living crisis and a pugnacious Conservative leader running on a populist message have thrust the country's carbon tax once more into the spotlight.

The national carbon levy, which targets both consumers and industry, is projected to reduce emissions by as much as 50% by 2030 .

It took a change to the law that compelled banks to label government payments as the “Canada Carbon Rebate” Opposition party leaders have suggested strengthening the industrial part of the carbon tax to make up for the lost benefits of the consumer tax.
