Oh boy more vote bribes.
As an Ontarian I'm so happy I'm getting some petty cash and not doctors.
This is the straw that broke the camels back, next election on voting NDP.

MODERATORS
Just FYI the NDP supports this https://www.ndp.ca/news/ndp-wins-tax-holiday-canadians
You still should support the NDP
The government canβt set prices at the checkout.
Neoliberal propaganda right there!
Yeah, my immediate reaction to that was "Yes you absolutely fucking can, you cowards."
These rebates are a temporary relief at best. Unless we can reduce the prices that Canadians pay for various sectors (e.g. Groceries and housing) this has zero lasting effect other than people remembering that the government sent them a cheque while the monopolies and oligopolies that overcharge Canadians continue to rake in massive profits.
Yeah. It's marketing, for a government that has lost the confidence of the electorate. Something like this is good PR when they also have introduced meaningful structural changes to lower prices -- you know, like, competition, or breaking up the big grocery chains, or what have you -- but on its own, it's going to be seen as possibly even more cynical of a move than it actually is.
And it's probably a pretty damn cynical move.
~~This was reported for being posted twice, so I'm removing the second one (this post) and linked to it from the comments of the other post.~~
I changed my mind. Since I was late in getting to this, and both posts have lots of comments already, I'll leave up both.
