minus-squareCanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up3·18 hours agoMake it an official tax bracket too, instead just a refund everyone qualifies for. I don’t know why TF it’s set up that way.
minus-squareKichae@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·2 days agoYes, but functionally no one voted NDP this year, and that was their pitch, IIRC.

minus-squareMacroCyclo@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 day agoMy bad, it was to lower the rate on the lowest bracket. https://www.conservative.ca/poilievre-to-cut-income-tax-by-15-for-the-average-canadian/ I don’t know what Carney has planned, but a middle class tax cut could be this.
