During the campaign, the NDP proposed doubling CPP benefits and pumping an extra $400-million annually into the Guaranteed Income Supplement for the poor. It said the GIS boost would be covered by higher corporate taxes.
D - thank heaven he does not have the clout of a minority government!
No explanation about where this money would come from.
When the long-term viability is already in doubt.
This amounts to icing on the cake for Boomers.
First, they pay artificially low rates for the 1st 1/2 of their work careers.
Then, last minute, they get an increase that amounts to what the "Great Generation" got, on top of that!
Wow. Just wow.
