These rebates are a temporary relief at best. Unless we can reduce the prices that Canadians pay for various sectors (e.g. Groceries and housing) this has zero lasting effect other than people remembering that the government sent them a cheque while the monopolies and oligopolies that overcharge Canadians continue to rake in massive profits.
Yeah. It’s marketing, for a government that has lost the confidence of the electorate. Something like this is good PR when they also have introduced meaningful structural changes to lower prices – you know, like, competition, or breaking up the big grocery chains, or what have you – but on its own, it’s going to be seen as possibly even more cynical of a move than it actually is.
And it’s probably a pretty damn cynical move.
