Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has pledged to cut personal income taxes for all Canadians, reducing the lowest tax bracket from 15% to 12.75%. He claims this will save a dual-income family around $1,800 per year. Poilievre says the cuts will be funded by eliminating government waste, reducing bureaucracy, and cutting foreign aid. However, critics question whether these savings will be enough to offset the lost revenue. Meanwhile, Liberal Leader Mark Carney has also proposed a middle-class tax cut, though it offers a smaller savings of around $825 per year for the average family.

Finally, a politician talking about letting people keep more of their own money instead of wasting it on bloated government programs! Poilievre’s tax cuts are a step in the right direction, but he should go further—why not slash income taxes across the board and shrink government even more? The real problem is government spending, and unless he’s serious about cutting it, these tax reductions won’t mean much in the long run. Still, it’s refreshing to see someone actually talking about getting bureaucrats out of our wallets for once.

Poilievre loves to promise tax cuts, but he never explains how he'll pay for them without gutting essential services that Canadians rely on. Cutting "government waste" is just conservative code for slashing healthcare, education, and social programs.
