- Raised taxes for working class Canadians
Upon taking office, the Conservatives canned a 1% income tax cut for low-income earners and raised their taxes instead.
(See: Macleanʼs national editor Andrew Coyne, 21 March07: http://andrewcoyne.com/columns/2007/03/dishonestbudget.php) - Let the cost of living rise 7%, while the rich have gotten richer and everyone else has gotten poorer.
In August 2008, inflation reached its highest peak in five years, sending living costs higher and higher.
(See: Statistics Canada, September 08; http://www.canadianeconomy.gc.ca/English/economy/inflation.cfm) - While corporate incomes have risen under Harperʼs watch by 28% and CEO salaries jumped 50%--- average wages have lagged behind at 6.7%
(See: Canadian Union of Public Employees, 19 September 2008: http://cupe.ca/economics/harper-no-manager) - Driven Canada to the brink of deficit
After inheriting a 13.2 billion dollar surplus from the Liberals,the Conservatives have wasted your tax dollars and have given Canada its first quarterly deficit in nearly a decade.
CAN YOU AFFORD 4 YEARS OF A CONSERVATIVE MAJORITY? CAN CANADA?
ON OCTOBER 14th, VOTING IS AS EASY AS A, B, C:
Anything
But
Conservative.
