Carbon price $50 a tonne today...

This only effects four provinces that didn’t create their own version of a Carbon Tax. The Feds jumped in to ensure they got to share the cost. Nova Scotia where I live has a Cap-and-Trade system

Carbon pollution pricing systems across Canada

Carbon pricing is about recognizing the cost of pollution and accounting for those costs in daily decisions. Putting a price on carbon pollution is widely recognized as the most efficient means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions while also driving innovation. Since 2019, every jurisdiction in Canada has had a price on carbon pollution. Canada’s approach is flexible: any province or territory can design its own pricing system tailored to local needs, or can choose the federal pricing system. The federal government sets minimum national stringency standards (the federal ‘benchmark’), that all systems must meet to ensure they are comparable and effective in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. If a province or territory decides not to price pollution, or proposes a system that does not meet these standards, the federal system is put in place. This ensures consistency and fairness for all Canadians.

I wish I could figure out some way to sell the carbon offsets I’ve generated through my residential solar panels. According to my monitoring service, I’ve avoided nearly 60 tons in emissions.

Your state does not have such a program. My state gives rebates to ratepayers.
