Canada

So what are they defining as "middle class" for this round? gotta love the journalism of CTV that seemed OK leaving this as "will lower tax for some Canadians"... some precise reporting there

It is time for a radical change in how we progress as a society. Money sure ain't working. "Let's keep turning these money knobs and see what happens" should not be the ultimate answer for forward progress towards something resembling a utopia, which should be the goal. I have no answers but it seems that fiddling around with economy and hoping for the best is nothing more than just killing time.

How about giving us income splitting so that I don't pay more in taxes than a two income family that makes more than I do?

Step one: tax the rich.

Tax. The. Rich.

Tax them until we eliminate working poverty. Tax them until we can move away from destroying the environment. Tax them until we eliminate billionaires entirely.

This is to placate people who think voting gives you instant gratification. This isn't for people who pay attention.

Disappointing to see adoption of CPC/PP platform cluelessness policy priority. Canada needs to spend on industrial policy to fight US, and prepare for hardships. His first BS of offering US empire more weapons purchases for more force multiplier warmongering was embarassing enough. Head in the sand "negotiations" is not going to go well.

Priority needs to be to destroy US economy, to save Canada's. If plan is to do nothing, we can do without an auto industry too, but waiting until the crisis evolves is just negligent.

Instead of tax cuts to help the middle class, what they should really do is:

Reduce privatization.

So much of our country is owned privately for the sake of profit.

This is why everything is so expensive, it’s because we let rent seekers own our infrastructure.

I want my government to start making money without further relying on middle class income.

Sweet now let's raise it on foreign billionaires who try to defraud our EV rebates

I'll repeat again, I don't need a fucking tax cut. I need the price of housing to start going down.

Increase taxes on property significantly, and use 100% of that money to give everyone a basic income.

This incentivizes both people and developers to be efficient with their housing choices. Using too much housing for the area you live in? You pay extra to help out everyone. Using the right amount? No harm to you. Using less than the average? Here's a payout, thank you.

Prices overall will drop, because it's no longer profitable to simply own a home due to the taxes, and especially not if there's no people in it because the taxes won't be offset by the basic income.

I think that increasing the basic personal exemption would have helped a lot more lower income Canadians
