This Month’s Poll

Where will the funding for this come from? Every net dollar of GST/HST revenue now goes towards paying the interest on the federal debt. Just the interest, none towards actually paying down the debt, because the debt continues to grow and is not being paid down.
So, technically, it can’t even be said that the federal gov’t is trying to bribe us with our own money, because it’ll have to be paid for with borrowed money.

Another liberal “spend their way out of trouble with the masses” solution.
More wealth redistribution from the middle class to the lower class (love to see the make up of the 12 million beneficiaries) without addressing the causes THAT THEY INFLICTED on our economy.
They keep calling themselves the NEW government when its just a cosmetic store full of lipstick on the OLD, failed liberal pig.
Can’t wait to see how the CCP brings “prosperity” here!

The federal government should get out of the business of micromanaging the daily lives of its citizens.  If they really want people to have more money for groceries and such, they should reduce the tax burden by eliminating many of the taxes they impose (carbon tax comes to mind).  In order to do this reduction effectively, they need to rein in spending as they do not have a revenue problem; it is a spending problem.  A benefit like this increases the problem.
