Canada is giving $250 to every working individual who earns under 150k this spring. I forget what the program is called.

they cancelled this I believe. NDP wanted it to include a lot more and Libs just scrapped it so they could at least get the temporary GST tax break passed, which NDP also whined that it should be forever
I know. NDP and Libs fighting over tax breaks. It's hilarious.
They could just cut sales, income and property taxes across the board instead of setting up these complicated bureaucratic programs
Our politicians love over engineered solutions. Makes them think they're smart and doing smart science, like the breaking bad meme
