last year when i did my taxes, i was baffled to realize i couldn't access my carbon credits because i had a student loan debt. i'm able to access virtually every other tax credit. so, i decided that was an oversight.

let's see if they've fixed it or not.

have prices come up? i don't use a lot of fuel. i walk or bike everywhere, and the way the economy works in canada is that we all import most of our food. one of the few local crops i buy is soy milk, and it may have gone up a little, but it's hard to attribute that to the carbon tax by eyeballing it.

i sent out letters and stuff...

but, i decided at the time that it wasn't worth really thinking much about because it came out in the wash, anyways. i could use the check, sure. but, it wasn't hurting me to have the accounting come out the way it did.

as mentioned then and again right now, this is a mistake on their behalf. you can go through dozens of tax credits, and they all exempt people in debt. there wasn't a change in policy. they just fucked up...

let's hope they've fixed it; i'll find out in an hour, if i can stay awake that long.
