Imagine taxing income, then taxing goods and services - then having the audacity to think this tiny selective tax break is a gift.

[UKM-]

How is this a break? We've been getting destroyed for years with taxes. He will just increase the carbon tax after the so-called tax break.

[SSingh-nrqz]

Pointless when you consider how much the Carbon tax adds to all groceries starting at the farm level, then charged over and over all along the supply chain until it reaches the consumer. Ask a farmer or trucker.

[perrykaler]

Canadians would be happier if he just resigned

[thomascauley]

How about home heating bills, auto repair bills, real groceries, not junk food.Forget wine and beer those are luxury items.Maybe look at what the average family spends most of their incomes on.

[schwags]

How much carbon tax did it cost to get the food to the store. Many groceries are already tax free.
This is just a bribe from a desperate "leader".

[blestmess]

I’d way rather see a tax cut on the important things instead of video games and junk food

[kalidkader]

Just a drop in the ocean, get Trudeau out

[Snipermillion]

Give everyone $1000.00 + Get rid of the Carbon Tax and then Resign = Happy Canadians

[jeffeddy]

I remember of history something said in the same maner OH ! Let them eat cake.

[lawrencecheung]

Trudy's the kid that steals your lunch money then offers to buy you lunch AND expects you to say thank you. FJT !!!

[deesmith]

Take with one hand and give with the other. Typical liberal smoke and mirrors.

[John-mqp]

We'll save about $100 if we spend on the right items, but later we'll end up paying $100 for two 500gram bags of McPain frozen french fries later on in the new year.

[ryanj]

And $250 for those that “qualify” from the government in April, just in time for the carbon tax increase, and don’t forget to claim that when you file your taxes.

[JP..-.]

I'm willing to pass on those tax breaks if Trudeau steps down.

[AbeySampson-owpz]

April 1st 2025 grocery be up 56.8% after another Trudeau carbon tax increase

[SE-klcd]

Basically we taxpayers will be paying for companies to generate revenue. He has done anything to stop price gouging

[PeterRedecop]

Tax free still too expensive, Trudeau I'm letting you know, I will not voting for Liberals and all the mess you created.

[qp]

The cut starts on December 14? Pretty late to hold off on buying presents if you want to ensure you get them, but to each their own

[therealgopnik]

Time to drag Castreau from office kicking and screaming
