Yes, I agree it's a regressive tax but from a consumer behavior point of view, it's better to have something tangible in your pocket than to save money on a purchase.
Even if lower income individuals would benefit more, that's not the way it would be perceived. Like Squid said, giving people that money would've gone further in both buying votes and in stimulating the economy.
I really don't understand what they were thinking.
The campaign is just starting and no one has put out a platform including the NDP. Which is surprising seeing as they called the election. I think the platform is just, don't ask questions, just give me a majority.
The buying of votes has just begun.
