December 2025 Poll

Yes.  Our cost of living in Canada has increased significantly under this Liberal government, and the tax rate reduction they legislated on the first tax bracket is insufficient (this government is only allowing .5% reduction for 2025…not the full 1%  - I find that figure an affront to my intellect).  For taxpayers who have to work out of the house, at their employer’s location,  should be recognized for the additional cost to work outside of the home.  I find that an employment tax credit of at least $2,500 would not be out of line in this inflationary period.

Yes, the credit should be adjusted - this credit actually helps working people. While the transit tax credit is great for people who live in cities and have access to public transit - rural working people who have no access to public transit can benefit from this credit.

Why not simplify the tax code by eliminating credits like this and increasing the basic personal exemption an appropriate amount?  Governments seem to be far too willing to increase complexity, especially if it increases voter base, and very unwilling to reduce complexity / bureaucracy / head count.

Like everything the government does, it ends up being a “one and done”.  There is never a thought that… oh, I do’t know… the prices might go up?  While I don’t think the government should be giving out money (or credits) willy-nilly, they should be willing to increase the credits they do allow from time to time.  This government does not seem to live in the real world, just the ones in their minds.

Reestablishing the transit tax credit is long overdue as well.  It both aligns with Canada’s Carbon Reduction goals and provides a tax break for working families.

Yes I agree. It should be tied to annual inflation rate.
