    Bro, add a wealth tax and millions of Canadians will vote for you. Remove FPTP and you’ll go down in history.

    Or… do this. People are gullible.

      Yeah, personally this made me question why a lot of these grocery and child products were taxed to begin with. I guess I never paid enough attention, I assumed a bunch were but I guess I was confusing it with PST.

      Ford did the exact same thing in Ontario with plate registration fees and it got him a second term.

        Letting drivers pay even less for the already massively subsidized roads
