•Breakenridge: The irony of a Trudeau tax break to offset costly Alberta-imposed policies
52% Informative
The idea of a two-month GST holiday on certain items — followed by a $ 250 cheque to just under 19 million Canadians — seems hastily cobbled together without a clear policy rationale behind it.
It’s not clear how the government intends to pay for this, or whether they’ve really thought through all the possible consequences of this spending spree.
Yet, with ongoing affordability pressures still plaguing Canadian households, it's something.
Here in Alberta , where inflation remains the highest in Canada , an extra $ 250 could come in handy.
