Thank you, Justin!

The National Post reached out to Ottawa for clarification.

 

A Department of Finance official responded in an email late Friday saying: “It is absolutely wrong to (think) that no pensioners or self-employed workers will get the Working Canadians Rebate. In order to qualify, you just need to have made less than $150,000 in net income in 2023.”

Seems like other people also hunted down every interpretation possible to make the announcement seem negative. Surprised that wasn't the top of the fold on Nazional Post.

No, they're not. Trudeau says he's already done a lot for those people. Sorry kiddo they get nothing

Some seniors outraged over being left out of federal plan to dole out $250 cheques | CBC News

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that his government would send $250 cheques to the 18.7 million people in Canada who worked in 2023 and earned $150,000 or less.

Those cheques, which the government is calling the "Working Canadians Rebate," are expected to be delivered in "early spring 2025," Trudeau said. Anyone who was not working in 2023, such as people who were retired or receiving social assistance, is ineligible.

 

As usual you're a lying sack of crap Herbie

I know this will not be a popular post, due to the MAGA hyenas ruling the forum, but thanks for the $250 and the temporary freeze on GST/PST.

Why anyone would congratulate the PM or anyone else for that matter in giving back our own money is astonishing to me. Why take it to begin with if they're just going to give it back, not that they give 100% of it back. It just is a way for the PM & his elitists to hire more public servants to do their bidding!! Hopefully, Pierre will slash government when he wins the next election & cancels taxes that are not necessary after cutting wasteful spending as well. Here's hoping anyway.

You'll get nothing because the rise of inflation will pick up the 250$? It is not realy for you. Because that 250$ every price will go up.

The initial feedback from the public is not great. I think the majority of people share your views

At this point, I am aware it is just a prop to try and turn the Liberal Party's fortunes around. However, I am just praying the "other" guy does not come to power in our lifetime. 

 

PS...Trudeau did not cause record inflation. It's happening all over North America and Europe.

You should go out and buy a good crying towel, cause that guy is going to get elected. unless some lefty shoots him...

PS..... maybe you need to research the causes of inflation before you bless us with your superior intellect, i mean many economist have said running up the national debt effects the inflation rates...along with dozens of other things, and most of them Justin had his fingers on ...

It's fewer and fewer people's opinion every week it seems here's the latest poll from main street

Canada National Poll, November 2024

decided voters   CPC 47 LPC 17 NDP 17 BQ 7 GPC 6

Even amongst all including the undecided the cpc numbers drop to 42, but the libs adn dips are still the same more or less. 

it would seem that this little announcement has not gone over nearly as well as they would like. The majority of voters are unhappy with it and the elderly who got left out are pissed

I don’t like PP either but the only chance the Liberals will have in the next election is with a new leader.

So they will be adding ten billion to the deficit.

$6.3 BILLION.

Or they could deny it to seniors and add a million guaranteed Conservative voters

they did deny it to seniors and they will be adding probably close to a million guarantee conservative voters And it will still cost closer to $10 billion by the time the cost of distribution are added.

6.3 billion for the $250 cheques alone. It doesn't include the lost GST revenues.

They already denied it to seniors/ if you did not work in 2023, your not getting the check....and lets not forget this is blessed by the NDP....go figure... don't you watch the news....

What if you're a senior that worked, claw it back when filing our 2025 taxes?

Oh well, in the meantime I'll probably spend at least some of it on Heineken and Orville Redenbacher.

Sorry man, your liberal/NDP coalition are not going to help those that did not work in 2023....besides it's only 250 dollars...if they are looking to buy votes Liberal / NDP voters must come cheap to think 250.00 would be enough....

[herbie]

The latest events indicate that I was incorrect and only pensioners that worked as well as collected pensions are eligible.
Total Liberal blunder. Unbelievable that they were so stupidly blind!
Tack on their refusal to even discuss the Bloc proposal for a pension increase.

Canadian seniors organizations are protesting, speakinf for the over 7 million retired people in this country. And the NDP has protested that it should be reconsidered so all seniors and those on disability are included.

A simple $500 'working tax credit' or $500 increase in the basic personal exemption on 2024 taxes would have done the same thing and both prevented the controversy and cost far less.

Never have and never will vote Liberal and I'm disappointed Singh missed this on original discussions, but seeing as how PP is not suggesting an alternative or anything whatsoever and still opens every statement by blabbing about f*ckng axing the carbon tax, he can expect my vote when Hell freezes over.

There's been massive inflation and rent, mortgages and food costs have doubled in the last 10 years while pensions went up pennies. Seniors on fixed incomes are bearing far more than others.

The alternative is to lower/eliminate the excessive - oppresive tax burden for every citizen. Anyone can see that.  Just because the wanker PM didn't do what you wanted . . . . Phhhhhft

Betting that most folks here doubt your disclaimer about your voting choices . . .
