Middle Class and Throne Speech

surprise, surprise: It may set a record for brevity and complete lack of specificity . The Justin Trudeau government first Throne Speech starts with -- surprise, surprise -- the middle class, according to Rabble. It promises a middle class tax cut, but provides no details, and certainly does not indicate whether or not the government has figured out a way to avoid the unintended consequence of simultaneously giving a tax cut to six figure earners. This Speech is, in fact, virtually bereft of any detail whatsoever. The Speech also fails to mention the promised tax increase on taxable incomes over $200,000. Helping the middle class means working with provinces The "middle class" chapter of the Speech also promises to replace the Harper government Universal Child Benefit payments with a new, targeted, Canada Child Benefit. We will probably get the fine print on all that next week. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
