Conservatives also voted against affordable childcare, the school food program, and dental coverage… among quite a few other things designed to make life just a little more bearable for struggling Canadians.
Poilievre would take Canada backwards by decades if he became Prime Minister.
Poilievre will take Canada backwards by decades when he becomes Prime Minister.
Sadly, this is likely a true statement.
Funny him calling this vote buying when he just announced a 5% GST exemption on buying houses under $1Million if/when he becomes PM. If what Trudeau is doing is vote buying, then Bitcoin Millhouse is doing the same, but whining about it.
Alternate headline: PP sponsors ads to give big oil tax breaks. But opposes giving working man tax break.
The tax break doesn’t put enough money in the donors pockets, so of course he’s gonna fuck over the average schmo.
The libs should introduce a bill called “peter putinfever says he wants to lower taxes for the working class but won’t. Watch this”
Cons : we want lower taxes.
Libs: ok tax break?
Cons: not like that! 😡
“We only want convoluted tax breaks that only benefit the wealthiest tier of Canadians, not broad strokes that attempt to help the poorest!”
Skippy the oppositional attack puppy is against everything, including a functional Canadian government. Rotten little twit.
Trudeau needs to full-on endorse Poilievre maybe see if the right-wing nuts rebel and vote NDP.
If I spent 100% of my paycheques for the next 2 months on things that are temporarily tax free, the amount of money I’d save would be… less than my rent increase for the next year.
Edit: I forgot I have to still pay rent for those 2 months, so more like 8 months increased rent, or factoring in all the essential bills more like 6. When all’s said and done the realistic GST savings might allow me to buy a large pizza and a dip at the end of February.
BTW, he’s gone from 44% to 47% in Mainstreet’s polls.
You know what might actually be effective? Stop taxing cash-only transactions for a few months. Keep taxing anything using electronic payment or credit cards.
That way, you kickstart the local economies and people stop spending as much on foreign products.
