Should have called it the "polluter tax and rebate"

Or even "carbon tax and cash back" system

    Some people just choose to be stupid, and other people abuse that. I've heard someone complain that 15-minute cities are cities where you aren't allowed to go more than 15 minutes from your home. She saw it on YouTube, so it had to be right.

    They should have physically mailed the cheques to people. And have all financial institutions have a separate account just for the rebate so people could see the amount in their banking app or statements but could only access it if they cached the cheques.

    DoFo mailed out cheques before the last election.
