Another news article I am not sure what to make of. There are just so many levels of complexity to this.

Since the carbon tax comes off one time only, for a one time price reduction. and thus only offset price increases this time only, will we see inflation resuming its normal limb next report?

And will we see price reductions in the supermarket to reflect this? Or was in mainly gasoline for transportation and heating that led the offset?

Also consider that this comes at the expense of the quarterly cheques you were getting. Inflation is looking at cost of a basket of goods but doesn't "see" the rebate cheques as ever existing.

And what really matters is how much the consumer has left in their pockets when all is said and done.
