905 Area Code: Middle Class Families

Progressive Conservative Party Dept: ”I ask the parents in this room: Do you have the time to enjoy your families?,” Mr. Hudak asked 1,700 delegates gathered at the cavernous Toronto Congress Centre. “Or do you find you are working harder and harder – under more and more stress – with nothing to show for it after you have paid your taxes?”, according to Globe And Mail. The promises show that the Tories are tailoring their platform to appeal specifically to suburban voters in the 905 region. A similar strategy helped Mr. Harper sweep aside the Liberal Party in the suburban ridings around Toronto dominated by young families, reducing the once-dominant Big Red Machine to a single seat in the 905 area code and mr. Hudak unveiled the promise on Saturday at the Progressive Conservative Party’s annual convention, where he gave a sneak peak of his election campaign platform. Mr. Hudak is also pledging to provide relief for middle-class families with a 5-per-cent tax cut on the first $75,000 of income. As reported in the news.
