That’s the message from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s Franco Terrazzano, who said party leaders need to ensure their platforms reduce the overwhelming tax burden felt by everyday Canadians.
“We’ve seen the federal government take more money out of our pockets for years, and Canadians are fed up with politicians who hike our taxes and waste our money,” he said.
“It’s good that both parties are offering tax relief.”

Liberal Leader Mark Carney launched his campaign with the promise of a middle-class tax cut, which the Liberals say will save Canadians up to $825 per year.
The Conservatives are promising a bigger tax cut — a $14-billion plan that’ll reduce tax rates for Canada’s lowest tax bracket from 15% to 12.75%, promising to save the average worker around $900 annually.
“It’s great to see the two major parties dueling over who can cut taxes the most,” Terrazzano said. “The best way a government can make life more affordable is to just let people keep more of their own money in the first place.”
