You will need to invest quite a bit in infrastructure to take advantage of new trade partners and become less economically dependent on the US. How will you cut taxes and do that?
Please - a tax cut for those of us making less than $50K - 20% is way too much for those of us just struggling to make rent on a full time minimum wage. It should be more like %5.
Make sure you pass the loss in revenues along to the wealthy.
I don't want more tax cuts for them or the corporations. They don't need them.
Personally, I am more interested in services than tax cuts. The only thing that ever trickles down are the tears of the poor.
A detail or two would be nice. We are taxed into poverty in this country while the Irvings, Westons and Sobey families rip us off on a daily basis and pay nothing in taxes. How ya fixin that pickle? Well they do pay something, tens of millions in political contributions. Does that count as taxes?
Help the poor and disabled and elderly first, please. We are middle class we will be ok without tax cuts. But we won’t be ok without healthcare and education.
Thats nice and all but the majority of our money goes towards corporations that price gouge. What do you plan on doing about Corporate taxation on the people...aka " service fees" ?
Please don't do this Mark. Treat us like adults and tell us if we have to pay more taxes to protect and improve our country for the sake of future generations. Thinking people no longer believe and respect this "I'll cut your taxes" demagoguery in the world we're facing now.
Much prefer if you reduce if not eliminate taxes on the lowest earning and tax rich corporations more. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link; a government that cares about the most vulnerable is a strong gov’t. Also, stricter regs on data privacy esp of telecommunications and health orgs.
Instead of tax cuts, can you help us have a say in how our taxes are spent?
Here are a few examples of tax waste:
Mega spa
Private healthcare
Ripping out much needed bike lanes
Building highways
Developing on the greenbelt
Increased police salaries
New license plates
Closing the Science Centre
can the PM help you overcome the acts of a Premier elected 3 X with a majority? Probably not. For help there, you need the 50% of Ontarians who for some reason feel they don't need to vote, to vote.
Obviously no, as those are all provincial and all dealing with Ford in ON. If you wanted Ford to not win then the NDP should have not helped him by splitting the vote in soft ridings they lose anyway. This prevented seats going LIB that would've subtracted from Ford. Also no coalitions were formed
The middle class doesn't want its taxes cut, just more of a say about where those taxes are directed. As for the rich, yeah, they need to pay up, fairly.
We were because it targeted things the wrong way, probably. We all heard 'tax' and most of us were upset about that. Maybe if they'd increased the amount of taxes already taken (say, prov. gas tax for public transit) instead of adding a new one, it would've gone over better.
Also, industrial polluters needed (and need) to pay for their fair share. #hamont has a long history of pollution because of the steel industry, for ex. Whoever said 'polluter pays' is right, but it's all of us in private transit as well as industrial actors that are at fault here.
Speak for yourself. The carbon tax was an important piece of Canada's carbon reduction puzzle. I think forcing those who pollute more 2 pay more is a pretty fair way of doing it.
To put it another way, why should we all pay higher insurance premiums because of more climate change exacerbated fires?
I agree that those who pollute should pay. As for higher premiums, I guess those pushing for private transit over public, for more roads and widening them over bike lanes and multi-modal transport options, should pay for them as they contribute to climate change more than those on buses/bikes.
👆👆 this tax cut was specifically to make Canadians whole after the cut of carbon tax. Everyone was screaming. Now they’re out here arguing that the federal government should be spending money on things that mostly fall squarely in provincial responsibility.
I’ll agree on having more say for how our taxes are spent. Trimming the waste would pave way for better funding for the services that need it. Mental health has taken the back burner for far too long. Drug abuse has run rampant during Trudeau tenure, but the root cause keeps being ignored.
But we're always & again back at the question of what we all mean by 'waste' and how much 'trimming' to do. I agree completely that mental health hasn't received the financial support it needs. As for drug abuse, I'm one for de-criminalizing the works, ensuring that those who want to quit them, can.
We’ve never had a single government actually tackle the issue of mental health. Some have skirted the idea of digging into it, but why has no one done anything meaningful about it? A majority of our societal issues stem from it.
And why is it that no government actually takes on mental health? Because they want a society that “needs” the government. Fix mental health, then you help eliminate a pile of societal issues that government needs programs for. And in turn smaller government 🤷♂️. Or I’m completely wrong.
It might be forging new territory but I think it is about time governments stopped relying on consumer debt and taxpayer liability and calling it growth. All political parties are only interested in people making $150,000 a year - their idea of what "middle class" is. Flat tax the rich 20%
Great, now how about seniors and disabled?
I am all for voting Carney in for PM but I still don't know how you feel or plan for those that need the most help j/s
yes, there are👍
I know about UIC being set up 👍...also understand pensions should be fine
What I am talking about is what has been put off for election after election regarding those that Are in need
I know he talks about the Arctic etc but not heard anything about an Old issues❓
I do trust him j/s
Currently NONE
I will be voting for him
High respect over his 2008 work
That was not my point.......we don't know a lot about his goals other than current crisis
I just commented that I don't know what he feels about those in Canadian society that are at a disadvantage
That's it......that's all
Only the NDP and Green party actually care about we disabled folk but not enough Canadians are willing to give either party a chance so back and forth between liberal and pc we go over and over and nothing changes.
Disagree with you there‼️
Worst years were the ones building up to the NDP in BC
over 10 years of corruptions caused most of the problems j/s
I have lived in BC.......voted in BC for 50 years
Most Canadians don’t need a tax cut. What we do need is for better funded services, more affordable public housing, a stronger social safety net, better healthcare, and (these days) a stronger military.
How are these things accomplished when we reduce tax revenue?
yeah, I don't need a tax cut
If anyone can do it Carney can I think🤞
There is a thought the felon will back down like the last time so our economy will be okay
So that would buy time for the rest of the military stuff which I do agree we should do
And perhaps we could require the very rich to be marginally, infinitesimally less rich so we all can continue to reap the benefits of living and working in this country.
My grandparents raised 3 children, owned their home and a car, and vacationed in Florida during their retirement in the winter on a very modest single income.
How about a promise to limit/ban foreign ownership of critical, national assets, like news media outlets? Foreign billionaires should not control Canadian news content. Enough with the endless manufactured crises.
A scout leader has to have police checks all the time. You aren’t supposed to “rely on your good name”
Being a cabinet once a long time ago is not a valid excuse.
🇨🇦🇨🇦I suggest tax cuts for the working poor as well. Living paycheque to paycheque is not easy. There is no room for leisure activities for a family with children. Quality of life is poorer. Or also increasing minimum wage. Taxing the wealthy. More affordable housing. Just some thoughts.🇨🇦🇨🇦
How about seniors on fixed income? Tax breaks would really make a difference. Increase federal basic personal exemption to start, it’s only $17,000 or something which is ludicrous. That’s well below poverty line.
What about the 9.6 million Canadians who won't benefit from the tax cut. The poor and working poor are getting worse off, but the middle class is who you are worried about?
Completely depends what part of society receives the increase in disposable income. Middle class are more prone to increase spending. Now give that same dollar to a high earner, and they are more likely to spend on luxury items or investments, not associated to minimum wage earners.
If you are working a minimum wage job and someone comes in and spends $80 instead of $40, you don't see any of that. You watch that money all go to the business owner. At best, you won't have your hours cut.
Now what if that same person has a water heater blow up, doesn’t have the increased disposable income to absorb the issue? Now he/she doesn’t come in to spend the original $40. Minimum wage jobs are dependent on middle class disposable income.
It’s really not rocket science. What income group spends the most $ on goods and services handled by minimum wage jobs? Now take disposable income away from that purchasing group, what happens? They spend less, so then less min wage jobs.
Canada needs to build our military, protect the North, help the vulnerable, solve the low cost housing crisis. Canada needs $. I will not vote for anyone who promises an across the board tax cut. Cutting some taxes as PM Carney is suggesting is OK. Raising taxes on wealthy is good.
Tax cuts for low and middle income earners are always a welcome thing, but NOT at the expense of the services that some of our poorest people rely on, and are paid for by taxes. So I hope that very wealthy people and big businesses are taxed more to compensate.
Please remember that gov't is supposed to work for all of us, not just your biggest donors. So, more investment in healthcare, infrastructure, clean renewable energy, etc., and less in silly pipelines, oil and gas, and other jollies for millionaires.
Again, tell me what you're doing for those of Canadians not well off enough to be a part of this tax cut? To shore up the flaccid disability benefit, and ensure provinces are not stealing it from recipients.
I'm more than happy to keep paying taxes so we can collectively invest more in healthcare, education, defence, protecting the land, financial supports, and infrastructure. I'd much rather that than cuts or stagnation of services.
Just remember what Bernie Sanders said about Kamala Harris, he stated, “It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working-class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.” Poilievre frames his tax as helping the lowest tax bracket.
I really hope you start to make the opposite case: why taxes are fantastic tools that help us raise the funds in the fairest way possible to ensure that we live in a wonderful country. They pay for our healthcare, education, defense and pensions, for our culture and our happiness. Taxes are great!
Taxes are great. The highest tax bracket hits too low in the middle class band, given the cost of living. Both of these things can be true. Income taxes should come out of discretionary spending. I don’t think that’s really true for everyone right now.
This. If the so called middle class gets a tax cut, than tell me how big pharma, banks & such will pay more because we need strong measures to face present and future changes.
I’d love to keep *less* of what I earn if my kids’ school was better, our healthcare more accessible, our defense against foreign aggressors stronger, our parks cleaner, our museums free, our landscape better protected. Tell us what GOOD you will do not what tax you will cut.
Remember that most of what you want improved is under provincial control. More money needs to go directly to municipalities to cover what has been downloaded by upper levels of governments. Yes, defence is federal. Environmental laws should over-ride provincial ones.
They are not the people who will be paying more tax! “Increasing tax” means “on those able to afford it to benefit those unable to afford it”. Income tax is about as fair a system as we have to ensure the wealthy provide the financial power to lift and grow our society. It helps not harms the poor.
@mark carney Then why is the gap between the wealthy (anyone earning more than $100,000 per person) and poor so wide? Is it possible to limit CEO income to no more than 10X what lowest employee in a company earns?
The critical problem is not income tax but capital gains - in many western countries an entire generation benefited hugely from a vast windfall of wealth and that needs to be redistributed. Means-tested pensions have to be part of that. It is wrong for the poor young to pay for the wealthy old.
I guess I’d rather carney attack the despicable corporations that have hiked their prices and profits quarter after quarter while blaming it all on inflation. If it was just inflation…how come their profits climbed? I hope carney will address the cartels and monopolies that distort prices.
Since 1974, I've been taxed across the entire range, including capital gains. Sometimes all my withholdings were refunded. Sometimes my tax bill exceeded my parents' combined gross income.
Taxes have never affected my lifestyle or purchasing decisions the way wages, prices, and public services do.
You do realize that in the end far more tax dollars are generated by having more funds in the hands of the tax payers,than to keep those same dollars in an inefficient government system. The money will always tax its way back into the hands of govt,but cycle, grow and create income in public hands.
Also important to note … how about the Lower Class? Easy to help us Middle Class folks out because there are LESS and LESS of us now. The gap is widening and we have more lower class and more people below the poverty line than ever. No hard feelings just curious…your thoughts on this Mark…
Mr Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social, this is important & will help many. But tax cuts don't help lower- and low-income ppl. Please don't leave ppl wondering what your plans are for the rest of us.
And once you impose your carbon price on Canada's "big polluters" will this compensate for the increased prices on virtually everything? You've been asked about this and you mocked the question rather than give an answer that I can find.
I'm probably middle class nowadays. I would gladly pay more tax for UBI. I don't need a tax cut - we're already forcing disabled people to either choose maid or starvation & homelessness. Charge me more and fix that.
Please use our tax cut to help Canadians who really need help more than we do, PM Carney. Particularly younger Canadians who are struggling. Thank you!
we don't need a tax cut. we need greater investment in our military and our innovation industries with cuts to red tape and career opportunities for young people to take advantage of. the "middle class" in this country is doing fine, young people are the ones in need of breaks and opportunities.
I keep almost all of what I earn via tax breaks and incentives already. give it to people who actually need it and will grow the economy through their success. I and the rest of the middle class already had that.
The CRA should provide a balance sheet with the Tax Assessment detailing where all of a taxpayers taxes go by line item. It should show what is left over after all the governments obligations are met. The government can only spend what it collects.
Prices drop during a depression. People lose their jobs and have no money to buy things. Suppliers drop their prices to get rid of inventory. When the prices drop to the point suppliers are losing money they go bankrupt.
Inflation is a necessity for a healthy growing economy that is creating jobs.
Canadians must be told in simple terms where inflation comes from and how the government cannot make thing cheaper. The inflation rate ALWAYS increases. The amount inflation increases is what is reported.
Disinflation happens when people no longer have money to buy things and a depression occurs.
Canadians do not need a "tax reduction". They need to understand the difference between wants and needs. The annual deficit is what happens when you want things and the taxes are not sufficient to pay for them. Canadians must be educated about this. Canadians are ignorant about economics.
Canadians need to learn the difference between their mortgage and the national debt. Our children are not being bankrupted because of the national debt or the deficit.
It shouldn't be a momentary tax cut. It needs to be a whole tax reform. Low income earners, people who are living on their government pensions should not be taxed. We need to shift the the tax brackets up so that lower income earners don't pay and middle earners pay less.
Give that tax cut to the disabled. The new $200/month benefit isn't enough. Too many disabled are so far below the poverty line they often opt for MAID to end their suffering.
ALL people living below the poverty line, not just disabled, need a basic income to meet the cost of living where they live. Until rent to income housing is built to meet need, most low income, part time workers, Gig workers, self-employed cannot survive without help. Stop welfare and ODSP. GLBI!!!
Agreed, when the pandemic started, The gov't said $2000 per person is what you needed to make per month to be just above the poverty line & things have only gotten drastically worse since then. The NDP says its closer to 3500 atm.
Folks on social services & disability don't even get enough for rent
If we're cutting taxes, how are we paying for the additional infrastructure we're going to need to address interprovincial trade barriers and 'made in Canada' manufacturing? Raise the GST by 1-2%...the richest will pay more, and the poorest will get it back with their rebate.
Target the GST to only items those with high discretionary incomes can afford? How about charging the private senior residence investment companies? Private health care companies?
We need to invest taxes into defense, healthcare, and housing. How are we going to pay for these things if you're cutting taxes? I hope the answer is that you will tax the rich, but I doubt it, because that will impact our economy. What's the plan?
Canadians are struggling financially. We need to address the issue of eroded real wages, urgently. Itty-bitty income tax cuts aren't going to do it. Get rid of income taxes COMPLETELY and replace them with Harm Taxes (i.e., tax the things that harm the health of humans and the environment).
The federal government and BoC aren't going to allow deflation, and the federal government has limited ability to increase wages. What's the point of job creation in an economic environment where people can't get by on what they earn? Our government MUST address the issue of real wages.
So what mechanism do you have for that? Not much, other than letting Canadians keep ALL of what they earn (and how lovely it would be to not have to file income tax returns). Replace that lost tax revenue by taxing the stuff that hurts Canadians and our lands. Be bold! We're ready!
Seriously, we are cool with being taxed, that is why we live here. Just work on some other stuff, like the justice system, programs for youth mental health, maybe a public owned grocery chain? Let's get real wild.
A couple more things to ponder. Gaza is also top of the list, that is just an awful mark to add to our history. Ya gotta make headway in Gaza. How distressing for our gov. head to bizarrely show solidarity, further ruining our reputation. Plunged it even.
I don’t think you should assume what people know. His admiration for Chrétien has to raise austerity concerns, and he’s promising to slash government revenue which only deepens that concern.
He may or may not get rid of revenue streams that hinder trade.
I also know the model he will promote. Chrétien was good at finance. He was a finance minister. But Carney is more steeped in Catholic service doctrine.
Mark I would rather you make an impassioned argument for the value of taxes and the collective good they provide all Canadians. Don’t fall into the Conservative line that taxes are bad. This is not healthy for a strong Canada
This may be good politics but it is bad policy. If someone is truly “middle class” a tax cut of a few hundred dollars has little impact and not needed. The loss of revenue will have negative impacts on all. Demonizing taxes is not the way to promote unity. Focus on the value of taxes instead
I don't resent paying taxes, I do think the wealthy should pay more. What good will this cut do the homeless? If you give me more money back but don't check the wealth of the rich and don't reverse decades of corporate concentration and reduced competition, what is that increase to my income worth?
How are you going to pay for a "middle class" tax cut?
What are you going to do about our disabled friends and family members who aren't housed in dignified homes, who can't afford food, who can't afford medical care???????
Its quaint that you think there is still a middle class. Insane rent prices, & the cost of living in general has gotten so out of control in our country that there are only 3 classes left:
the ultra wealthy
the working poor
& the homeless.
Wrong, wrong decision. We need Drones in the next few months not years from now. We need to focus on protecting Canadian workers and expanding our military. You were leading without the tax cut, you don't need it now either. If anything a tax on the rich would be better received
#ElectoralReform save us from Trump? Then save us from American 🇺🇸 style ‘democracy’ PLEASE 🙏 hello @jagmeetsingh.ca @mpjulian.bsky.social @lisamariebarron.bsky.social
Seems like an interesting time to be promising tax cuts of any kind when we have nation building expenditures to undertake over the next few years and we’re already running a deficit. Borrowing against the future to fund tax cuts today….
Canada’s net debt to GDP ratio is one of the best in G7 (closest to Germany). This gives us one of most flexible fiscal positions omg our peers to invest in our economic future.
He's making the error of thinking we are conservatives with me too thinking. Or hes pandering to that crowds vote. Either way its bad optics on this end.
Before I send this article out to several Platforms...I'd like to know what Mr. Carney has to say about it. Seems that it isn't as great as one would think........https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2025/03/26/Tax-Cut-Promises-Federal-Election-2025/?utm_source=daily&utm_medium=email
Well that sounds pretty much like a craven campaign promise to lure conservative votes. I’ll bet this is a calculated strategy based on the fact that the left of us won’t desert the Libs for this election. Hope it works for you - kinda sad if it does.
How about a tax break for those living on the poverty line. We are under pressure. We vote and will be convinced to vote liberal if the powers that be are willing to help those at the bottom of the ladder especially low income seniors.
I’d rather try to stabilize our country’s debt and economy while improving our health care system and ensuring all Canadians have fresh clean water to drink and access to education. Keep up the good work, PM, you’ll get us there!
There u go, he said it. Plans and policies. But on the other side to date, if they dont baselessly attack him they'll attack trudeau who's already left office. Hahahaha, conservatives everywhere are trash
I will pay my share of taxes to help with better Healthcare, education and military. Lower the tax for low income, disabled and seniors, tax the rich and corporations and stopping giving them all the exemptions, for clothes. They do not need tax exceptions for cars, and houses etc
Let civil servants claim only exact cost of meals, travel and accommodations (provide receipts) instead of claiming per-diems when attending conferences. Stop the perks at all levels of government. Stop contracting out.
I would rather keep enough civil servants to provide services (and answer phones, not make us communicate with bots). and to do that, their perks need to be controlled so the service is affordable. Tax income and profits of big business.
I live on my income around 60k per year. I am 60 years old. It is impossible to save any money, the cost of living is so high. I will work until I am not able to. Giving me back $400 a year isnt enough. I need a real tax cut to make a dent.
Please please tell your Canadians every day Americans don’t want to hurt them. We are trapped here and have never had any issue with our friends to the north!
We don’t blame you. You have every right to stand up for a fight you don’t deserve. It’s just so weird because I know NO ONE of the regular American population wants to go after Canada or Greenland or Panama. This is nuts.
I think it will be wise for the americans who voted for him to learn in the most brutal hard way possible as it didnt seem like they learnt anything at all from the first regime of the convicted felon in chief, during which he screwed them all up bigly, in his words.
I agree. Unfortunately those of us who didn’t vote for him and tried to stop vehemently have our fates tied to these morons. Btw, I doubt we actually voted him in. Remember: Russia has screwed with elections across the world.
I am sadly in a northern red state. It’s upsetting. Believe me but this is where my mother is and with her dementia, she couldn’t understand if we moved her.
We need to keep criminals in prison. Repeat offenders are the worst. We need to clean up our streets. Not every problem we face is Agent Orange, get tough on crime
Nope.. I hope you read the responses.. in Canada there is the rich & then there is the rest of us.. Tax the rich.. a paltry tax cut 'for the middle class' helps no one.
No. As we’ve seen (here and down south), “tax cuts” don’t work. It’s a short term gain/long term loss.
A proper, modern society needs equitable taxation along with full featured public services. Also, better messaging around available services and intuitive means to participate in said services.
But I literally would rather it go to those in poverty. Better health care, mental health care, rehabilitation center, harm reduction, food and shelter.
No offense, Mark, but as a solidly middle-class household, I'm happy to pay my fair share of taxes so everyone does well. It's the rich that should pay my friend.
We need to redefine the perimeters of middle class. I’m at the bottom of “middle class” and i live paycheque to paycheque with a very tight budget. Essentially just living shouldnt be the only thing people can afford. Hobbies & travel are essential for growth and mental health
A concrete definition is tough. Middle class means different things in different places. I don't know if definitions are going to help. Although different terminology might help. Right now we've got crusty uppers, classy middles and the unfortunate poor.
#bluesky #editbutton #please @bsky.app. I need that into be an a - but i’m leaving it. Please give us an edit option. It will just drive me crazy with every notification 😂😶
The comments here saying we we Canadians are happy to forgo this tax cut if you would invest more in defense, health care, education etc. might just be the most Canadian thing I have ever read. I can’t tell you how much this fills me with hope.
LPC site: "...middle-class tax cut will save two-income families up to $825 a year, by reducing the marginal tax rate on the lowest tax bracket by 1 percentage point. More than 22 million Canadians will benefit directly from this tax cut, and middle- and low-income Canadians will benefit the most.
A tax cut would be great
As a senior on a more or less fixed income I’d gladly forego the cut to see a bigger investment in the military arctic and Heathcare
We need raises, not more fucking tax cuts! This is just gonna lead the cutting programs for the people who need them the most. Build affordable houses, restrict grocery prices and help workers Unionize for better pay and benefits.
In 2008, we were all supposed to be in it together and I supported pay reductions in public service where I worked AS LONG AS THEY WERE EQUAL ACROSS INCOME LEVELS. That didn't happen. People were laid off and the rich got richer. Are you going to distribute the pain equally?

The federal government has been reducing its expected share of the responsibility for medicare for decades.
Specifically the Conservative provinces!!
I also love that you, like all other right-wingers ignore the needs of low income folks.
Talking singles
Talking disabled
Talking. Homeless
Talking elderly
Talking childfree
Talking ex-cons
Talking retail
Talking exploited immigrants
But how about MAGA supporters who have no class ??
I am all for voting Carney in for PM but I still don't know how you feel or plan for those that need the most help j/s

How do we move past
If anyone can do it Carney can I think🤞
There is a thought the felon will back down like the last time so our economy will be okay

Things will never be the same though IMO anyway
My grandparents raised 3 children, owned their home and a car, and vacationed in Florida during their retirement in the winter on a very modest single income.
And think you guys need to make a clean break from us.
Or make it more difficult for banks to loan money for speculative purpose or whatever
But increasing deficits to increase productivity isn’t inflationary
Only once you hit full employment do you have to worry
@mark-carney.bsky.social
May I make a suggestion to you. Please keep hammering PP about his refusal to get a Security Clearance. What is he hiding?
Being a cabinet once a long time ago is not a valid excuse.
It's inconceivable a wannabe PM is refusing the scrutiny.
He's a huge red flag of corruption. Imo 🤨
*minister
It doesn't help those who need it most. You need to have money to benefit from tax cuts.
Bro, trickle down economics has been thoroughly debunked. It's complete bullshit
Prove it
Taxes have never affected my lifestyle or purchasing decisions the way wages, prices, and public services do.
Never PeePee Poilievre
Inflation is a necessity for a healthy growing economy that is creating jobs.
Disinflation happens when people no longer have money to buy things and a depression occurs.
Folks on social services & disability don't even get enough for rent
And we want better supported services!
We need to invest in our military; to build massive amounts of affordable housing; to grow our manufacturing base.
We understand that our taxes pay for the services we expect. Maybe instead of tax cuts we can have a system we're MP's don't vote their own pay?
STOP!
Using the word
🚫class🚫
#Canada is NOT a class-based Society.
If that doesnt convince you just think of the income levels of society you are trying to convince to vote for you.
Yes, I recommend:
✅ #VoteLiberal
Do I like your use of class?
🤬 No
Ideally, maybe even use more geographic eg rural & urban.
Nwar broken hand makes my typing even worse than "normal"
My Dad put on greens and workboots every morning before leaving and we lived under the poverty line (a real thing, still). That's working class.
New hotness: “Flush the P.”
He’s a macro economist that strongly supports Canada’s labour unions and entrepreneurs. Can’t be a strong nimble nation without both.
He also supports a mixed economy and a strictly regulated market to maintain security, fairness and stability.
I also know the model he will promote. Chrétien was good at finance. He was a finance minister. But Carney is more steeped in Catholic service doctrine.
That’s evident by reviewing his CV.
We had $1500 worth of eligible medical expenses, but because we are already paying no taxes due to low income, we have to just suck it up.
Non-refundable deductions help only those with enough income to pay taxes.
$200 when the market value of a one bedroom apartment is $1500+ is ridiculous. Rent costs more than all of ODSP.
DOUG FORD IS CULLING THE DISABLED IN ONTARIO.
TAX CAPITAL, AKA MONEY EARNED FROM SITTING ON YOUR ASS DOING NOTHING WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ACTUALLY WORK
What are you going to do about our disabled friends and family members who aren't housed in dignified homes, who can't afford food, who can't afford medical care???????
You are appreciated
Congratulations on your new position.
I shall remind the Canadian people that they could be a lot worse off if they were here in America
so don't get sassy!!! LOL
GOOOO JETS!!!
the ultra wealthy
the working poor
& the homeless.
