Lower the tax cap to 20% for all who are earning less than 100k annually. 10% till 50k and 20% over 50k

Where is the fn money coming from Trudeau already spent it

[ryankott]

I guess being fiscally responsible is a thing of the past. What a joke!

[tracyclaystowell]

they could save another billion dollars by not confiscating Canadians firearms. Clay.

Shame on you Liberal/NDP voters, shame

[jeffspicolli]

Whats with all the over five years business?
What happened to all the money budgeted four years ago?

[bradstokes]

No path to balance. An energy infrastructure transition within an incredibly condensed time period is by its very nature Inflationary.

[chrisl]

Just be patient, no worries. Trudeau promised the budget will balance itself.

[christinarosed.p.]

It is a budget simply to satisfy the NDP and I am angry! It is useless and we need these failed politicians out of business.

[victoriaman]

One of them is standardize cable chargers???? I'm not joking! How is that part of a budget???

[odude]

tax, tax, tax, tax.. (still huge deficit)

[carmine]

13 billion for dental care... They are already short and mismanaged on health care. Not employers will likely stop providing proper dental benefits and pocket that money.

[lloydkuepfer]

We need more money for military NOT stupid clean energy

[noelgeollegue]

Trudeau promise to balance the budget 5 years ago. What happened to his

[caelanshpak]

Sure just keep rasing taxes as we can barely pay are own bills because trudumb can't control his spending

[landsea]

Looking at Ontario's Budget - which is on line - all the revenues and expenditures are clearly shown .

Now go to Trudeau, Sabia and Freeland's budget and it uses magic numbers .
.

[iristao]

There is no source for the claim of foreign interference. Which country has conflicts with Canada in terms of fundamental interests?

[KurumiXIII]

Wow, can't wait to buy two extra cartons of eggs with that $400 tax rebate! 😂

[Parlimant_Strifey]

It is probably balancing itself again, Crystia puts some type magik spell on it. I can believe it!!
