CBC reports that Stephen Harper has announced a plan to give workers, students, and apprentices a tax cut if he were to be elected:
The plan includes giving workers a tax deduction of up to $500 for tools, Harper said Thursday while campaigning in North Bay, Ont.
As well, there would be a $1,000 grant for apprentices in their first two years, and a tax credit of 10 per cent of an apprentice’s wages for two years, to a maximum of $2,000.
Again, I find it hard to even fathom how this is ‘conservative’. More vote buying, more money going out the window.
