If the government stopped interfering and taxing energy so much, we wouldn’t need ‘rebates’ in the first place. Let the free market work and prices would drop naturally.
Energy rebates are a band-aid. Real change would mean investing these funds into renewables and helping people transition away from expensive, polluting energy sources.
Glad to see the government returning some of our money instead of keeping it all. But let’s focus on real solutions to lower energy costs—like supporting Alberta’s oil and gas industry and less regulation.
