I retired after Trudeau made it uneconomical to keep working. From his increasing every tax he could possibly raise (income tax, carbon tax, alcohol tax etc. etc. etc.) to the fact that any money I made came off my pension (which, after he taxed back my CPP and then took more off the OAP that was supposed to buttress that) and added a two year penalty for any income I brought in. When anything I earn penalizes my for two years after I earn it, I ain't working for the government.

[@nawewan]

trudeau raised the higher end of brackets such that your income is actually taxed less. carbon tax is how much? a few hundred per year. of course your pensions are taxed. they are income

Canada's tax rates are too high and the tax system sucks. You should look to Australia's which is much lower than Canada's let alone Australia has higher hourly rate. Canada even punish low income working class by putting heavy tax on them and push them to a point where they struggle to make ends meet.

[@trentriver]

When you add in the cost of the medical system insurance premiums in these countries with alleged lower taxes, we are better off.

[@burntearth85]

How is that "punishment"? It pays for everything you take for granted.

@@burntearth85 Does the truth hurt you so much? Anyway, I don’t care you defending your government or party. But I never had the privilege of letting the government paying for “everything” for me like food , clothing, gas, rents and laptops. I paid everything with my hard work. Maybe the liberal government paid you everything with taxpayers’ money like mine, that’s why you take it for granted that everyone is like you and we should bow down before politicians and be grateful every minute without any complaints. Also, take back your disgusting bossy tone and keep it in your own home.

Inflation is a monetary phenomenon. When the money supply is increased, the value of the dollar decreases. Thus losing purchasing power. This is economics 101. Pierre is actually quite well versed in this topic. Guy knows his finances.

With current tax rates, you do not make $19/hr. You make $14/hr take home. A 5% drop in the tax rate would bring that up to $15/hr for an extra $160/month. That's $8,000/yr
