Lol this is just a joke... Food should have always been completely tax free! Two weeks?!? What kind of circus is this?? Is he trying to buy votes for $250/pop? I'm amazed at what they come up with next.

Food should have always been completely tax free!

Real food is... beer and candy always has tax on them, and rightfully so considering the burden they cause on our healthcare system.

Yes, I agree on the alcohol tax re. Healthcare costs. However, I ferment my own drinks and I'd like to point out the irony of buying raw ingredients + yeast, vs buying a prepared drink. It's like you are getting taxed for convenience as a deterrent.

Yeah basically. Our federal government just decided to throw everyone a pizza party

2 months, from Dec 15th to Feb 15th. And yes it looks like he is trying to buy some votes. And the check is for people doing 150k$ or less NET, so in QC almost 300k$ gross, as if people doing 300k need a 250$ bonus...

Yeah, why set an income limit at all if it's 150k... would be more cost effective to just claw it back in tax from top earners later.
