That was what our Carbon Tax rebate actually was! Cyclists and folks who took transit benefitted and folks with big trucks did not.

@EllenInEdmonton@yeg.bike @liztai@hachyderm.io Yep. That's why the rw hated it. They much preferred the subsidies where people with big trucks and gigantic homes to heat benefited the most. It's carefully crafted to look like little people subsidies but they are anything but. The right wing trots out the single mom raising 3 kids needing a break on fuel but she, living in a tiny apartment and depending on transit, would benefit so much more from just a cheque that would never give.
