And who will appoint her? There is no chance that a conservative prime minister would ever select the likes of her for UN (charge d'affaires for Afghanistan maybe). The libs are looking at perhaps two full terms on the sidelines and by that time she will be nothing but a very bad dream. There will be other people who need to be rewarded by that time.

Me and the missus bought one as an alternate to baseboard heat in our first place in Sooke in the early 90s. Pellets were cheap then, something like $4 for a 40lb bag. Problem was it needed power to run the exhaust fan. Running it during a power failure smoked out the house. Later versions had a battery backup for the fan. We went for a propane fireplace insert in our second place. So, good concept but a bit flawed.Go with wood pellets
Wood Pellets Outperform Fossil Fuels, Natural Gas in Reducing Greenhouse Gases
DURHAM, N.H. – Using wood pellets for home heating fuel reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than half over fossil fuels and natural gas, according to new research from the NH Agricultural Experiment Station at the University of New Hampshire. The research was conducted by John Gunn...www.unh.edu

That. Or any of the hundreds of positions she could pick from at the UN that don't depend on a national government's nomination. By UN I also meant the NGO constellation that orbits around it.

Looks like Anita Anand will lose her seat according to n article.
Apparently it costs $200,000,000.00 to administer the carbon tax rebate program.

So getting less and less efficient…
2019: $128,900/employee
2023: $184,900/employee
A 43% increase in proportional administrative costs.

Depends on the metric- yeah cost per employee is out of hand, even with indexed COLA at 15+% that's a lot of raises and higher paid new bodies.
But cost per dollar administered/processed has actually improved. But at less than half a cent per dollar transacted (10B in / 10B out), it's too efficient to be believable as a government body, which leads one to think that the expense is an entirely superfluous ricebowl "supervising" a program that is functionally carried out by existing processes.

To put it in perspective here in Alberta...my January power bill was 10$ less than the carbon tax rebate we got for a family of 3. $365 bill....and over 60% was the carbon tax. Just on the power and gas for our house it's pushing $300 a month in carbon tax and we're not living large...1980 house, 1000 sqft, and running the fireplace when able in winter for extra heat.
I can see it helping some inlaws only on retirement CPP but for anyone working still....ouch.

I understand the rationale, and am no big fan of any tax let alone a carbon version, but trying to connect the cost of a government program to the number of civil service staff working on it can be tricky...
... unless you're an extreme (for Canada) right wing source
Carbon tax costs taxpayers $200 million to administer
The cost of administering the federal carbon tax and rebate scheme has risen to nearly $200 million since its inception in 2019.

So you’re saying that we should think of it more as being ‘free’ in the sense that it’s already included in the $60,000,000,000/year we pay for our federal public service.

I'm in retirement. I should not be paying more to the government in taxes than I take home. They work for me. Not the other way around.
