Canadians elected this new government with a strong mandate: to bring down costs and help you get ahead.
That work starts with a tax cut for the middle class, taking effect on July 1.

We are going to have a lot of people retiring with no CPP
But yes, it'd give it up if I could have my MRI a lot faster. And surgeries.
If you're earning $25K or so, the cuts will get you nothing.
So these cuts should help many. I know everyone thinks this is bad however it's not. Are you in Sask?
$40,000K living in Ottawa was almost poverty level due to housing costs. Average home is $700K or more
A tax cut helps literally nobody. Nobody has ever been in a position where their income tax bill was so high as to affect their lifestyle.
Because the campaign was, like, a month ago. We do actually remember what you said, my dude.
This guy is bad news. There is a reason Trump put him on the Canada file.

Liberal “mandates” are fickle things.n
Liberals take their priorities from corporate boardrooms /country clubs
Your only mandate is to end US hegemony.
Uppercut, Fort Henry style!
When you finally realized we've been had, use #CarneyLied so I can start following you
So I'm the next election when you behave more like PP than you do like anyone worth a damn, don't wonder why you lost to fascists.

It's not worth the effort to reproduce it when you're just going to find excuses like the other hoople-head
Colonialism: the biggest scam in history.
Are you calling the legacy of colonialism a fraud?
Are you a white supremacist?
Or are you saying I'm misrepresenting colonial history?
And if so, how?
The house next door is on fire. First thing, make sure the fire doesn't spread. We can figure out new landscaping and remodeling afterward, when the fire hazard is dealt with.
Good job doing what the Conservatives want you to do.
Could’ve raised taxes on the rich but he did this instead, huh
Sometimes you need to be careful what you ask for
You just might get it all but not how you expected
I mean if those things that they believed were doable and bi partisans would do them anyway - then do it first and disable the talking points.
But we need a Royal Commission on Taxation. The last one was in the 1960s when there was one major income earner per household who worked to 65 and dropped dead by 70. Times have changed.
but the government cuts services to make up for the tax cuts,
and then you purchase private services to make up for the public service cuts…
then you have less money in your pocket.
While you’re at it - can you please include some thoughts to architecture? There a a few things to do so that buildings can reduce bird strike.
Thank you. You gorgeous and intelligent classy-ass bag of meow mix
Love from the lady in NY
However, we need to look at a wealth tax to reverse the trend of wealth (and power) concentrating into fewer hands.
We only need to look south to see how large disparities in wealth between rich and poor is dangerous.
Yee-haw!
But OUR work has just begun-
We should NOT be charged with tariffs on aluminum & steel-
It is a violation of CUSMA, no?
We need to follow through.
No more Mr.Nice Guy.
Elbows Up! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
The Liberal stance of "these things take time" while people actually starve is fucking gross.
💙🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦
He's going DOGE on our public services and is reducing public capacities except for the military.
He hasn't defined a middle class.
Name one public service he's announced he's cutting.
There's 40M in Canada, 22M are deemed middle class.
World trade hasn't really panned out that well for working people.
The median income is well below "middle class".
Yea, work on that intellectual honesty too.
#AccessibleCanada
Some of that is going to be in resources/industry and in dealing with the housing crisis.
I’ve been waiting a couple of decades for their wealth to trickle down.
It's ridiculous that a parent chaperone at an elementary school field trip needs a police check, but an MP does not.
His days are numbered and he will be in prison!..
or he will flee in his shitty Qatari jet!
We need rent caps and control as well, and y'know, maybe some actual enforcement of the Charter of Human Rights
When exactly is the appropriate amount of time to wait before expecting govt to give a shit??
You've only been elected a month!
No need for a plan or anything...
THERE'S ALREADY TARIFF RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES
Gawd, I wish I had the commitment that Liberals have to their false prophet for literally anything
I would be unstoppable.
12 years of Shit Party: “climate chaos is a lie; we will burn everything that might make a profit”
10 years of Shit-Lite Party: “climate chaos is an existential threat; we will burn everything that might make a profit”
#Fairness for all Canadians.
Carney couldn't give two shits about the underclass.
They’re invested in real estate. Their donors are interested in real estate. Their voters use housing as investment vehicles. Put it all together.
Well,
that sounds different than in Trump's America...
💠 🧐 💠
Until that happens I can't take this govt seriously
This is the tripe that you post when 17,000+ people in Manitoba have been forced to flee their homes due to raging fires.
I love you Mark Carney but can you really focus and prioritize right now?
I don’t believe that Manitoba has not already issued an SOS.
IMO, everything else can go on hold for a minute.
if you cut services and sell them to billionaires you will lose your job bro.. 'mark' my words
We hired you to deal with Trump and boost the economy
Our middle class is fine, the bottom earners are who needs help
$859 a year is nothing. And there hasn’t been a “middle class” for decades!
Tax the hell out of corporations and the 1%.
Not seeing you implementing an #IndigenousTax for all the “Build! Build! Build!” You want to do!
Are we supposed to give it away for free? 🪶😡
The picture is amazing
#taxtherich Mark 'trickle-down' Carney
and then they piss on you
It's economics!
I'm disabled and want help with being at 2/3 of the poverty line
No disabilities minister. No tariff relief.
Sorry, more whining.
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-strike-kindergarten-homes-gaza-kill
Just tax the fucking rich FFS.
But that's just book talk. Go with your gut libs!
I did not vote Liberal. I voted Green because the path to a bright future runs through being honest about our situation. Your path does not get us there.
#cdnpoli
No disability minister
No $ for disabled people dealing with tariffs
Two time homophobic bigot for speaker
Mike Pompeo allowed on Canadian soil for #CANSEC - and don't say you didn't know because that makes you look incompetent.
Well played bud.
- on PWD, at 2/3 of the poverty line...
tax cut on nothing.. is nothing, carry the nothing, add the carry nothing, and I save, NOTHING!
I voted for better services not tax cuts for the wealthy.
https://www.canada.ca/en/department-finance/news/2025/05/delivering-a-middle-class-tax-cut.html
Not to mention the repeal of the capital gains increase.
God, it must be nice.
Job #1 - manage the trump relationship and save our economy. Build houses. Tax cuts for regular people and tax increases for the uber rich. It's about balance and creating opportunity.
Stop being such a vapid and ineffectual Canadian. Jesus.
What about my post was off side for you?
When it's actually just criticism, like sticking up for those most in need. Something you wish to silence.
It's gross AND rude. Maybe work on your compassion and less on projecting your rudeness.
You're so fucking phony
Gawd, I can't wait till libs lose the next election
Too bad I'll have more to lose than you.
But I will enjoy the moment you awestruck motherfuckers are like "how did this happen!? How did they elect a fascist!? We tried almost nothing and we're all out of ideas!"
Despite diplomatic immunity, don't let Trump step foot in Canada.
I understand separation of Prov/ Fed jurisdictions, but man, Feds need to start putting conditions on ALL transfer payments.😔
RW Cons (Reform Alliance) PMs just pocketing $ for their own agendas &screwing their constituents.😡 Ford straight up won’t account for $MILLIONS in missing transfer$.
Sorry to hear Daniellezebub is your Premier. Her &Thug share a UCP love of gutting health care too. 😔
The fact the world is
seeing stability in 🇨🇦, says everything.
YES I Do want enough to live on without having to do without.
It must be nice to be a"retired schoolteacher"and not have to worry about basics
How many consequential tasks have you accomplished since March 14th?

Shitty times are coming and we’ll need government intervention to stave off a recession.
Maybe if we lived strictly on ramen noodles...
I mean, if you're american, I get it.
But if you're anyone else, you've drunk the kool-aid
- Much love, Matthew
Are you back peddling on all of your promises already?
Lots of good reason to criticize Carney, and the reasons are paid out in these posts.
I believe you have your own ideas and not a copy of Trudeau. I am waiting to see how you bring Canada into its own.
I do hope you open up Canada to trade within our provinces. And a pipeline.
Our prosperity is not tied to polluting technology.
We can build better than we did 50 years ago.
The #July1 tax cut is a solid first step — excited to see where PM Carney takes things next.
Disabled, at 2/3 of the poverty line
Take the tax cut, apply it to my nothing, carry the nothing, add the carry to the column nothing
I get nothing? This can't be right...
On here, it feels like they're mostly rubbing it in the face of people who VERY reluctantly voted Liberal.
It's like, an entire political party basically completely collapsed to make you PM.
Stop trying to make them all regret it!!!
I rely on those to get by when my prov disability pays out the same rate as a typical 4-week period for the 5-week months of the year. I'm one of the ~60% who WON'T be getting CBD, either.
We need those taxes to pay for service improvements. Nobody but conservatives asked for a tax cut.
Everyone knows this, for fuck's sake.
Tax the rich, for fuck's sake.
And for once, would you fucking people care about the poor, the disabled, the homeless, the people in need.
They want to kill us rather than just allow us access to a life with dignity.
I'm not trying to convince *them*, I know they dgaf, known my whole life, even before I became one of those they hate.
This is some sort of economic eugenics.
They work us until we break, then they throw us away like trash.
They refuse to manage the bare minimum of a functional society, and then they want to kill us. "Suffer or die" isn't a choice, it's coercion. And canada is absolutely a state that loves eugenics.
Nothing of substance happens overnight…
Starting with a tax cut is good, it will almost make up for the Carbon Rebate gain I lost…
Incidentally, the tax rate cut on income below 57k a year from 15% to 14% will in fact reduce the tax on your CPP/OAS…
Oh and the tax rate on incomes above 250k is 33%…
I know Liberal party is all about apathy, walking past those who are fighting to survive, all while congratulating yourselves at the smallest charity ...
WE STILL STARVE
60% of Poverty Line is BELOW POVERTY!!
Welcome Middle Class - just don't get hurt at work
We don't need "middle class tax breaks", we need to be able to live somewhere and also still afford food!
There's no sustainable way to insta-drop housing prices without it coming at huge cost elsewhere. Prices *are* starting to naturally lower, but the hope is that producing manufactured homes speeds it up.
"How do we fix housing... oh it's so difficult"
You start building millions of units of social housing!
That's how
But you fucking sycophants can't help yourself.
Late stage capitalism and it's free markets killing everyone, gotta see it through till the end right?
I'd love to see us redo our entire system and move past capitalism at long last, but you can't wave a magic wand and easily make that happen.
You tax the shit out of the rich and pay for services
Workers get a pay cheque?
I'm not some communist (I'm an anarchist actually)
Capitalism can't be dismantled in a day
But government needs to get involved much more drastically
- There is a 95 percent wealth tax after a million dollars. Billionaires are quite capable of flexing with ten million dollars as they are with a billion
- You eliminate foreign and corporate ownership of homes
- No Canadian is allowed more than two homes.
The reality is theyre probably just afraid of the boomers getting pissy about their houses no longer being worth $1M+, fuck the rest of us
If you want this problem solved, build public housing, break up the real estate oligopolies, and tax the F out of secondary and non-resident ownership.
But yes, I agree with what you're saying.
Build housing. Increase disability support. Invest in green energy and cut support to the fossil fuel industry cooking the planet.
Oh, and tax the heck out of the rich and stop supporting a genocidal state while you’re at it.

Who am I kidding, it'll go straight to Loblaws because the government refuses to regulate monopolies or prevent price fixing 🫠
He was elected on the promise to unite Canada, diversify trade, halt immigration, increase military spending, and make Canada an energy superpower.
I see he's already given up on those.
It says "all my options sucked". It's not the same as staying home and not showing up. My name was crossed off the list, so they know I "voted", and my ballot appears in the pile as a blank ballot with scribbles on it.
Like you mentioned, there are so many more important issues that need to be dealt with.
If our politicians weren't in government they would either be selling used cars or doing informercials selling kitchen knives and weight loss drugs.
