minus-squareKichae@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·4 days agoYes, but functionally no one voted NDP this year, and that was their pitch, IIRC.
minus-squareMacroCyclo@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·3 days agoWasn’t it also the CPC plan?
minus-squareMacroCyclo@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-23 days 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. Edit: It is, but going from 15% to 14% instead of Poilievre’s proposed 12.5% https://globalnews.ca/news/11180306/liberals-budget-middle-class-tax-cut/
