The NDP pressed the Liberals to provide financial support to Canadians struggling with inflation through a boost to the GST tax credit. The Liberals voted against a motion proposing that relief back in May.
Singles without children will get up to $234 more from the credit, couples with children will get up to $467 more and seniors can expect an average boost of $225 this year.The Liberals also are rolling out a one-time increase to the Canada Housing Benefit, providing up to $500 to 1.8 million Canadian renters struggling with housing needs.
The federal government said the benefit will be available to families with an adjusted net income below $35,000 — or to singles with incomes below $20,000 — who pay at least 30 per cent of their income on rent. The New Democrats said that at least two of those commitments must be met before the Christmas break if the Liberals want the deal to stay intact. The first was the boost to the Canada Housing Benefit, while the second is the introduction of the first stage of a dental care program.Trudeau announced that his government is introducing a Canada Dental Benefit for children under 12 who do not have access to dental insurance.
Higher taxes
is this fair for people that work regular job for federal government to get off too many holiday
TruDope running SCARED-- as soon as Pierre won the conservative leadership TruDope suddenly starts trying to buy votes just like he bought all the mainstream media outlets and the health minsters and hospital administrators
And your assessment is?
He is desperate to buy votes. He is sinking Canada further into debt.
What? There's a Housing Benefit? How do we get that given it's apparently been around for 2 years and now it will be boosted?
I think 🤔 liberal support will increase now that people are realizing what a threat PP(Pierre Polievre) is to Canada's peace and long-term stability .
Pouring money to consumers is just gasoline on the fire. Roll back milk prices and strong arm the cities into allowing more housing construction and reducing the how much permitting costs and how long it takes.

Nothing to help out the payers
Trudeau can start with repealing the Carbon tax. That’s part of the problem. Justin also canceled the children’s fitness tax credit, canceled text books and Education tax credit, and canceled income splitting. Way to help Canadians Justin
FIRST NATIONS CHILDREN ... DESERVE TOO BE EQUALS RATHER THAN liberal_party & CPC_HQ TARGETS.
Pay more to the poor!
Our fragile healthcare system that just shut down our country for two years can now do you take on dental care what a fucking joke.
That’s exactly what we need … more spending to buy votes. While the health system is in shambles, and people can’t even afford groceries, start another unaffordable & doomed program… Who pays for it ? All Canadians !
Ontario already has a dental health program for 17 and under kids from low income families. Not exactly what Singh was promised…
CBC's Biased Tax Payer Funded ' Reporting' ,if you call it that, is nothing more than a JOKE! Your 'reporters' are nothing more that kindergarten teachers reading Liberal Propaganda. How do ypu sleep at night knowing full well that you are supporting a DICTATOR?
This actually increases inflation
Aren't we supposed to be fighting inflation? Last time I checked creating money out of thin air is how we got into this mess.
Next on CBC: PP announces he's against teeth. Says PM is acting Tyrannical and we need Freedom and only Communists need teeth. Plans to occupy his local dentist.
10 cents is not a boost to the GST
Once you see the lie you can’t Unsee it
We could have this all the time with a proportional voting system, no more power centralized solely on the PM, but that they have to respond to other parties representing a wider swath of Canadians.
He told his kids this morning, 'No more Kraft Dinner on Fridays!'. It'll save a good 30 bucks off the grocery bill and they can still have foie gras, lobster, and caviar like every other struggling Canadian.
DefundCBC
For the inflation HE CAUSED?
Lol…. NDP needs cash infusion since they are bankrupt…
Thank you for doing the right thing and defending me at all costs even though I have no idea of how to run a country. Klaus Schwab says that I am doing a fantastic job and I owe it all to the Canadian msm for constantly pushing out lies and misinformation.
Fighting inflation by spending more. TrudeauResign He's only concerned to keep himself in Parliament. This is only to keep the NDP in his back pocket.
Soooo when is all this to start happening
replacing left wing Trudeau is next! Go Pierre!
Of course, all paid for with more borrowed $$. The $1.3 Trillion debt keeps growing by the day. Then pile on the massive structural deficit, and the future for Canada looks bleak. JustinTrudeau
Key to Canadians is to be given the chance to work and secure their future and their nations future in the world. The ONLY hurdle in their way is JustinTrudeau and his weak pathetic minions. Make Canada great again TrudeauResign TrudeauHasGotToGo
The increase in GST rebates is only about an extra $20 - $40/month. Not very much considering how much food and energy are going up. And it's only for 6 months. Peanuts too for the housing benefit. Nothing for the rest of us or business owners.
Nonsensical
Create chaos, then offer welfare. Sounds like a plan..
Create chaos, then offer welfare. Sounds like a plan..
Be careful giving out benefits. Didn’t work well in the States.
That'll help!
Raise the carbon tax to help Canadian's fall further into despair. These are the measures.
We have inflation do to government spending —-hey we can fix this by…more government spending
This is how government should work....Together ❤️
They perform evil deeds without evil intentions, disengaged from the reality of their evil acts. They act without any motive other than to diligently advance their career in the bureaucracy.
TrudeauResign
Running scared now!
For those of you, whose reading comprehension is not there: - it’s a tax break, not money printing. - It’s a one- time rent top up for low income. - And it’s dental plan for low income You have an issue helping others less fortunate? Thought Canada was better than this.
“In 2022, federal per-person debt is projected to be $47,070, which is the third highest amount in Canadian history (behind only 2020 and 2021). During Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s tenure, federal per-person debt increased by 35.3 percent between 2015 and 2022.”
New-Old, never achievable.
Free liberal campaigning on the Canadian tax payer. We have to eat this up or be called radical 😂🥴 CBC is trash 🗑
Useless short term measures. Why not just reduce taxes
Lol he waited to see if his buddy Charest won the Leadership race, in which case he wouldn’t have done any of this.
Mr Trudeau When will be India day
A promise is a comfort to a fool. Trudeau is a liar exposed. Counting the days until he's in jail for treason.
Let’s fight inflation by giving people more money! This is the your government in action. Insane.
Yes, i remember this deal to circumvent Democracy of your minority govt. Timing highly suspect as is how much relief it will offer low income Canadians. Pierre4PM
or let people know there are many jobs out there for the taking.
Ineffectual, inept, woke and quasi fascist form of leadership is not appreciated by a large part of the population of Canada. This guy doesn't believe in balance. Instead of shining in tough times, Trudeau exacerbates the negative and makes lives more challenging.
On his knees to the NDP again...anything goes for that pile of dung
More tax. Yay
Awe , he's GIVING BACK our own money.. how kind
interesting what happens when the parties work TOGETHER...
Adding to inflation but he wouldn’t understand that. But liberals will love it.
PierrePoilievre
dental care already announced before admitted to inflation.
Provincial leadership will stop that. The high cost of living is intentional. The low wages are intentional. Those are legislated. Poverty will be a crime soon. Particularly to conservatives. This is why suicide booths should be everywhere. ItsCheaperToJustDie
A conservative in every pot?
Time to adjust these disastrous numbers again!!!
Same ole, same ole crap. Let's throw money at people, make all kinds of unachievable promises and not give spending power back to the people but keep them forever dependent on government. I want to see massive tax cuts that give people breathing room.
Yeah the liberal government working hard to ruin the dental care system.
Wow...trying to buy votes now lol
'What produces [inflation] is too much government spending and too much government creation of money and nothing else.' Milton Friedman
Wat’s he gonna do? Stop printing the money or better burn the excess?
I wouldn't need help if I could just take money out of my PEPP without getting dinged all over for it so it's not worth my while. That being so...I'll take the gov $$. 😂😂
Oh good. More inflation coming. But hey, maybe I'll be in the lower bracket soon if this keeps up and will finally qualify!
Just throw money at it is all the liberals do. Inflation and civil unrest is going to get way worse. Buckle up and stock up.
TrudeauHasGotToGo
Borrowing money to implement? We are now paying $24.5 B annually on the existing Trudeau debt- irresponsible?
too bad his word doesn't mean shit. Once a liar, always a liar
Pfft
Justin Trudeau is shitting his pants!
This is definitely not aimed at middle class. It is quite narrow in scope and marginally beneficial for those with low income.
Good news. None of this would be happening if Poilievre was in power.
LMAO, this clown does jack shit for Canadians. CBC, the Liberal Network...
Why do singles without kids get a bigger GST credit than seniors? Why are my parents for example always coming at the bottom
There...now Pierre can't say anything 😏🤣
Too late you racist PM
Cool. Drive up the debt and inflation at the same time.
Lisa needs braces
Poilievre launching freedomcoin....it's worthless but sounds cool.
These measures serve only to support his time in power by catering to the fringe NDP demands.
That's not JT that's Jimmy boy that forced that issue he is a fake and no concern for Canadians
🖕
I guess if I had no idea what causes inflation I might believe this would do more good than harm.
In a decade……🤔 he wont be around.
