~~This was reported for being posted twice, so I'm removing the second one.~~

~~But I'm open to reinstating the post if people want to access the comments. Sorry for the delay in getting to this!~~

I changed my mind. Since I was late in getting to this, and both posts have lots of comments already, I'll leave up both.

Maybe we should get rid of consumption taxes that penalize the poor disproportionately permanently and do something like raise the corporate tax rate or the top income tax brackets.

But probably not. We'll just use it for PR for now.

What do you mean? Don't you love getting taxed on your income twice? Once at the paycheque and once on the purchase?? So fun!

Until we have no healthcare, no new housing, and budget cuts across the province because ford decided to bribe people instead of using tax dollars for the people.

Federal not provincial.

Obviously this is a vote bribe, just looking at the wording of the press release it's written for Christian conservatives.

Specifically making Christmas trees part of the tax break?

As someone who is voting left already, I'm just happy to get the tax break. But if this is the thing that causes enough cons to not vote PP, I'll take the budget cuts.

Under the libs at least we might see things like healthcare and affordable housing.

Sorry i thought this was about ford's $200 rebate. Either way it isn't a solution and is clearly pandering for votes.

It's kind of weird to see Trudeau following Doug Ford on policy.

I didn't realize Doug Ford was controlling federal taxes.
