Does the new government’s promise, expected soon, to cut the lowest personal income tax rate by 1% to 14%, go far enough to help Canadians impacted by high costs? What are alternatives in your view?

In order to have money :
one needs to :
explore ways to get sources of money
AND
explore ways to reduce spending
There is a Chinese saying with exactly that meaning.
( OPEN source, reduce dripping )
Every bit helps.
avoid the sights of every family going broke and some becoming criminals. Such social cost is going to be unbearable.
What would the leaders do ? wait till the next election ?!

I’ve long felt that it would be good policy to increase the basic personal exemption significantly. While this would impact everyone, it would have a proportionally higher impact on lower income Canadians.
Then we could begin to have a discussion on what tax policy ought to look like in Canada…I won’t hold my breath though.

I have ZERO belief that they will follow through. I also believe that now they have finished the election, the carbon tax will be back. Because it never left.

Not even close, an absolute joke by an absolute fraud who will destroy this country with his ‘mandates’.
