FABian 852 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Why do I just not care for literally any of these parties and leaders. I really didnt want to vote Andrew Scheer, but I might just have to given the other options provided. I am certainly not voting for another 4 years of Liberal corruption. I dont care what plans they propose, they need to answer for their actions. The NDP sit 50-50 with me Remove sales tax on 0 emission vehicles I could use a new Tesla And Greens and PPC and anybody else dont sit well with me. Watch me get fired tomorrow for even implying I may vote conservative. Vancouver riding ftw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc 4,776 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 All seem like okay plans I guess in my country the conservatives and liberals would focus on lowering income taxes for corporations, wealthy and high incomes while left-wing parties would just propose the opposite while lowering taxes on the poor, similar to your conservatives in that way. But I'm wondering, with what the conservatives want to cut in taxes - where do they want to cut on public services? That can't end well. Purely looking from the perspective of lowering debt to GDP, I'd say the left-wing proposals are the best. But I can't really judge very well without knowing the expenditure proposals.

The Conservatives cut taxes a lot when they were in power for 9 years from 1996 to 2005 and the Liberals didnt make many changes to the general tax code other than raising the top income bracket from 29% to 33% and the middle bracket was lowered from 21.5% to 20.5% now Small business taxes were cut from 11% to 9% but all 3 major parties supported the idea so it wasnt an issue Since most other taxes including Corporate taxes are the same still as the last time they were in power that may be why they arent advocating for more cuts on businesses and wealthy. They are fine with them the way they are on spending they havent been fully clear yet but both the NDP and Conservatives wanna bring Canada back to balanced budget Trudeau proposes continuing to run deficits below 1% of GDP to support economy but the debt to GDP still gradually falls its down to about 30% now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 127,447 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 None of those plans are good, the conservatives are coming after the weak as usual, taxes on fresh mothers and those who can't afford a car.. wow. Also, stop with this populist idea of removing a tax completely on sales, the only ones who benefits from this are the shops that sells them, not the customer or the companies, the prices will not go down.. better to keep this tax. Trudeau as usual is not taking a stand, decision or coming with ideas because he scared to piss off someone.. he's always on neutral. The left wing ideas are irrational, the country would go bankrupt after a year or two, it's a way to make all the investors leave along with the jobs.. the tax the rich idea never works.

Do u know what a tax credit is? thats giving back money they payed in taxes during maternity leave this plan is to GIVE them money back not take away i prefers Trudeaus proposal in that aspect tho cuz his plan is to not tax income during maternity leave at all so u get the savings immediately and dont have to wait for a credit during tax time plus it makes all the paper work simpler but still, the conservative plan is still a positive change to put more money in pockets of new parents vs how things work now. Its just not AS positive a change as the Liberal plan The Conservative plan will give new parents a tax credit during income tax season based on income to give back some of the taxes payed while the Liberal plan wont charge them taxes at all and they dont have to wait to tax season to calculate their benefits Both parties are helping new parents with their plans. But the Liberals would be to a greater degree than the Conservatives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
