@@Josh-cw8byPeople do think that though. You don't represent the population, so don't be an ignoramus. Lots of Canadians think the money Canada distributes is just the government's money or they think taxes should go only to their own interests. Seeing as how Canada is a place American millionaires buy homes in to escape their faltering economy, it makes sense that people don't want the money to be distributed properly. Especially smith, who seems to be falling head over heels for the orange dictator
@pgknippel Continuously imposing higher taxes, and then cutting them momentarily for political gain, saying they are providing relief from their own tax increases isn't a cut.
Hardly. It’s more like getting healthcare and roads and bridges and public transit and airports and whatnot and not paying anything for a month and a half. I’m sure if you really want ti pay, they’ll accept the money
I don't think we can afford any of this. Trudeau has no idea about budgets, so he does not even know how in debt Canada is. We will only find out once he is gone what the status of our balance sheet is. He is going to deplete and disrupt everything and leave a big mess for Poilievre.

@@ZenCorvus Do you mean when Chretien and Martin were our Prime Ministers and we had a surplus and then Harper came in and threw Canada into incredible debt and sold off so many industries we had here in Canada? Was that when Canada was great in your opinion? You are a child if you think PP and the Cons will be able to fix a problem they helped to create. Also, the Carbon Tax is literally the standard for Western Globalism, it stops other states from putting steep tariffs on Canadian products. Without some form of a carbon tax or mitigation method (using the market) to address climate change, other states will be required to slap Canada for not upholding our Global Climate agreements. This means you thought things were expensive now. Get ready when every company has to pass the cost onto all of the goods we need to import into the country.
Regardless of Federal political party in power over the last 50 years or so, Canada has become demonstrably communist, never mind socialist. The right and left both keep systems and organizations in place that are planks of the Communist Manifesto, as outlined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Having public sector workers, paid through the redistribution of other peoples money or via debt, is nothing but socialist.
@@potolishis Money is created out of thin air. It's called fiat currency. Backed by nothing but 'trust'. Ultimately, money is used as a means of enslavement for everybody except the ruling elites. Are you happy with late stage capitalism? Because this is what it looks like. And if you aren't building a new system with others, you aren't going to see much improvement in society going forward.
You fundamentally have no clue how federal funding works. Try to educate yourself so you don't look so foolish. 1Dime did a well researched video essay on this called "The Deficit Myth: The Biggest Lie in Politics" you could check it out. On second thought, don't watch it. Critical thinking is required. Something you might want to avoid.
If you scoff at this GST rebate, please consider donating your upcoming cheque to a food bank or charity... there are many out there that consider this true help, and are not as rich as you.
He's bribing us with our own money and ultimately the borrowed funds will cost us more than what we receive via the interest imposed on national debt. This is a short-term gain for a long-term loss, even if the $250 is nice.
You know what would help Canadians much more than a one time $250 payment? Getting rid of the carbon tax for the poor and middle class and only keeping it in place for businesses and the more wealthy in this country.
Unfortunate that many voters either weren't alive or not old enough to understand politics and the previous conservative government. People old enough to remember Harper and all their cuts, including the elderly and military service. Pierre was a part of that establishment and housing costs rose like 50% or something during that time so people thinking that it would be any different with conservatives in power will be in for a rude awakening.

As much as I hate Trudeau I am sick of people saying it's going to cost 6 billion. The liberals themselves have said the checks are going to go out to 14.7 million people times that by 250 you get 3.6 billion. It's bad enough you don't need to lie, stop acting like them.
Why haven't you moved to the US with Trump 2.0 coming back? They have some of the lowest taxes in the free world. They have amazing for-profit health insurance that leaves over 40 million without care, but the rich are REALLY rich. You could fit in real well down there.
@ Everyone has healthcare with a job. The others have healthcare as well, just not as good…because it’s free. Vast majority of Americans love their system…only the poor hate it. Canadian health care is funded by the top 20%. It’s average is about $8000 per person across the country. A family of four would be $32,000….most don’t pay their fair share, but feel entitled. Canadian is cost effective…but that’s it’s only edge.
Most groceries are tax free (produce, meat, dairy, spices, pasta, rice), but "junk foods" (pop, chips, chocolate bars) and prepared foods found in the hot foods or to-go sections are taxed. (Think prepared sandwich and hot chicken wings at the hot bar) are taxed
@@katerilevasseur8119 Yes I have & very rarely do I see GST on the receipt...maybe one item. If junk food & prepared foods are the GST savings...it's not much at all
We don't pay gst on food, spent $300 on grocery gst was $1.97 and $250 in April energy bills excede that $1500 for winters months alone....$250 is nothing!
Tax breaks on consumer goods only benefits those who can purchase them and benefit those who spend more, more than it benefits those who can't buy as much. So this tax break works best for the rich and worst for those who can't afford to buy tons of goods.
@@zindi1138 Or still in power after this level of crime and corruption. If Canadians have learned nothing else, we’ve definitely learned how weak, pathetic, incompetent, and corrupt, our country and entire political system is!!!

Yup, AB has the highest insurance rates in the country, the highest electricity rates, the highest rent increases, the highest inflation rate, the highest dental fees, etc. But Marlaina thinks giving people a break is horrible, just because she has Trudeau Derangement Syndrome.

Housing is and always has been a Provincial purview, BUT you can easily Google the federal Liberal plan to address housing by typing in "What is the Liberal plan to fix housing crisis in Canada" and you can actually read their plan. It's been posted online for a while now.
@@Arasteele Sorry, no, housing has NOT "always been a provincial purview". Affordable housing was almost exclusively a federal thing (building up to 20% of the Canada's housing each year, ALL of it affordable and means tested whether bought or rented, which also kept the cost of ALL housing down), up until the 1980's when the FEDS decided to start transitioning housing over to the provinces . And the provinces have done a horrible job of it ever since with home prices, rental costs and housing shortages skyrocketing, as the provinces pretty much just handed the responsibility over to wealthy developers, corporations and speculators (many of whom are also subsidized by provincial governments but with NO decrease to the cost of housing OR hardly any "affordable" housing being built). So maybe the feds SHOULD get back into the game (and NEED to get back into the game), regardless of how loud some premieres screech. Because we ARE in a housing crisis and have been for some time.

I have no money to buy the extras that they are removing GST from, so it won't affect me. As for the 250$, I heard that it was proposed to be given to WORKING citizens. I'm retired. None of this helps me. Merry Christmas 'Duh.

I am.🤔
I'm WILLING TO PAY $250 so we can have an EARLY FEDERAL ELECTION! This madness has to STOP!!!!

@@mightymightyenapack2530 you might not realize but our oil is fkn clean as can be, companies have invested billions in eco stuff, which has ultimately worked. Too bad the rest of Canada hates us even thouhgh Berta runs the GDP
@@ZenCorvus Do you mean when Chretien and Martin were our Prime Ministers and we had a surplus and then Harper came in and threw Canada into incredible debt and sold off so many industries we had here in Canada? Was that when Canada was great in your opinion? You are a child if you think PP and the Cons will be able to fix a problem they helped to create.
Also, the Carbon Tax is literally the standard for Western Globalism, it stops other states from putting steep tariffs on Canadian products. Without some form of a carbon tax or mitigation method (using the market) to address climate change, other states will be required to slap Canada for not upholding our Global Climate agreements. This means you thought things were expensive now. Get ready when every company has to pass the cost onto all of the goods we need to import into the country.
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
― Margaret Thatcher
so you think giving back your tax money is spending other peoples money ??
Regardless of Federal political party in power over the last 50 years or so, Canada has become demonstrably communist, never mind socialist. The right and left both keep systems and organizations in place that are planks of the Communist Manifesto, as outlined by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Having public sector workers, paid through the redistribution of other peoples money or via debt, is nothing but socialist.
The problem with capitalism is that you never run out of gullible working class people to fool to the advantage of the ruling elites.
Printed money! This money was not in the budget.
@@potolishis Money is created out of thin air. It's called fiat currency. Backed by nothing but 'trust'. Ultimately, money is used as a means of enslavement for everybody except the ruling elites. Are you happy with late stage capitalism? Because this is what it looks like. And if you aren't building a new system with others, you aren't going to see much improvement in society going forward.
Keep the 250 bucks and the gst tax cut .we want trudeue gone period .this is all b.s to get re elected .hes finished
I really feel sorry for people who ran into Trudeau at the grocery store. What a sight!!!
+ the lump finance minister.
Where these money comes? Not from you but from us.
You fundamentally have no clue how federal funding works. Try to educate yourself so you don't look so foolish. 1Dime did a well researched video essay on this called "The Deficit Myth: The Biggest Lie in Politics" you could check it out.
On second thought, don't watch it. Critical thinking is required. Something you might want to avoid.
The government has nothing to give. They take with taxes, debt, and inflation and then pretend to give us something. Government is a scam!
Hey, everyone, look at this guy! He figured out how taxation works! Seriously dude?
If you scoff at this GST rebate, please consider donating your upcoming cheque to a food bank or charity... there are many out there that consider this true help, and are not as rich as you.
He's bribing us with our own money and ultimately the borrowed funds will cost us more than what we receive via the interest imposed on national debt. This is a short-term gain for a long-term loss, even if the $250 is nice.
You know what would help Canadians much more than a one time $250 payment? Getting rid of the carbon tax for the poor and middle class and only keeping it in place for businesses and the more wealthy in this country.
TLDR: No government nations because they endanger you

Hahahah I bet you’d be singing a different tune if conservatives were doing this!
Unfortunate that many voters either weren't alive or not old enough to understand politics and the previous conservative government. People old enough to remember Harper and all their cuts, including the elderly and military service. Pierre was a part of that establishment and housing costs rose like 50% or something during that time so people thinking that it would be any different with conservatives in power will be in for a rude awakening.

No GST on snacks , not food

To cost taxpayers over $6 billion. Another inflationary bill from the government. That’s at face value, but what else is hidden in this bill?
Claw back….
As much as I hate Trudeau I am sick of people saying it's going to cost 6 billion.
The liberals themselves have said the checks are going to go out to 14.7 million people times that by 250 you get 3.6 billion.
It's bad enough you don't need to lie, stop acting like them.

Have you never looked at a Receipt?
Most groceries are tax free (produce, meat, dairy, spices, pasta, rice), but "junk foods" (pop, chips, chocolate bars) and prepared foods found in the hot foods or to-go sections are taxed. (Think prepared sandwich and hot chicken wings at the hot bar) are taxed

Tax breaks on consumer goods only benefits those who can purchase them and benefit those who spend more, more than it benefits those who can't buy as much. So this tax break works best for the rich and worst for those who can't afford to buy tons of goods.

Not enough. Fix housing. Force provinces to deal with housing issues.
And then watch Smith REALLY complalin
Housing is and always has been a Provincial purview, BUT you can easily Google the federal Liberal plan to address housing by typing in "What is the Liberal plan to fix housing crisis in Canada" and you can actually read their plan. It's been posted online for a while now.
Asks Liberals to do something 😂
@@Arasteele Sorry, no, housing has NOT "always been a provincial purview". Affordable housing was almost exclusively a federal thing (building up to 20% of the Canada's housing each year, ALL of it affordable and means tested whether bought or rented, which also kept the cost of ALL housing down), up until the 1980's when the FEDS decided to start transitioning housing over to the provinces . And the provinces have done a horrible job of it ever since with home prices, rental costs and housing shortages skyrocketing, as the provinces pretty much just handed the responsibility over to wealthy developers, corporations and speculators (many of whom are also subsidized by provincial governments but with NO decrease to the cost of housing OR hardly any "affordable" housing being built). So maybe the feds SHOULD get back into the game (and NEED to get back into the game), regardless of how loud some premieres screech. Because we ARE in a housing crisis and have been for some time.
They will never ever admit the pain the carbon tax has caused Canadians. Shame
