The Conservative plan is out and, ooof, is this costing a disaster.
There's a whole bunch of phantom revenues booked here, and the GST housing pledge is costed at under $2B. Given their proposed eligibility criteria, it should be more in the 4-6B range.

They always exaggerate.
Huh?

Did it??
Do they think they can build a pipeline from conception to finish in one year?
Is this just throwing into general revenue?
And deals signed by him aren't worth the ink he used signing his name
How is that negative???
TFSA contributions are made with pre-tax dollars so how does this create an increasing cost to the Feds over the next 4 years???
What am I missing??
-TFSA contributions are made with taxable/taxed income, generally.
- TFSA gains are sheltered from tax during growth and at time of "use"/ realization.
If my understanding is right - an additional TFSA top-up shouldn't have a negative (or positive) impact on the economy.
UNLESS this reflects a loss of sales tax on the additional savings which leaves the economy (so to speak)
The conservative plan is forecasting that the additional Canadian only top up will contribute to the forecasted deficits over 4 years.
I don't think that's even possible.
If it was an RRSP increase there would be a corresponding decrease in revenue.
Retrospect - agreed. So zero ability to forecast affect on budgets
It’s insurgent, architected nationalism.
He’s not promising better governance—he’s offering a full systemic inversion.
This isn’t a platform.
It’s a doctrine.
It establishes ideological positioning and policy priorities while leaving significant implementation details unspecified.
