11,000 Taxpayers Tell the Premier:
Keep your Promise ? No More Taxes!

TORONTO: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) and Toronto Sun Money Editor Linda Leatherdale delivered a petition with 11,000 signatures calling on Premier McGuinty to keep his promise not to raise taxes and not to run a deficit in tomorrow’s budget. The petition was received by Finance Minister Greg Sorbara at Queen’s Park today.

“We are pleased that the Minister received our petition, but dismayed at continued media reports of increased taxes in tomorrow’s budget,” said CTF Ontario Director Tasha Kheiriddin. “Of particular concern is the proposed health tax. Such a tax could reverse much of the tax relief granted by the previous administration and would break another Liberal campaign promise.”

During the election campaign, Dalton McGuinty promised voters, in television commercials, that he would not raise their taxes. He also signed a pledge not to raise taxes or run a deficit. And in a news release, dated September 25, 2003, the Liberals promised to “keep personal income tax rates and the Ernie Eves’ Fair Share Health Levy exactly where they are today.” A copy of said release is attached.

“Imposing this health tax without a referendum would effectively increase the Health Levy, which forms part of the income surtax. This would violate the Taxpayers’ Protection Act, which says that you can’t increase income taxes without a referendum,” said Kheiriddin. “If the government does not abide by the law and consult the people, the CTF will consider all legal options to fight this tax.”

个人所得税这种东西, 就算把消费税和地产税也算上,
对你们这些所谓中产阶级的影响能有多大啊?
不能把你变穷, 也不可能把你变富.

不要一天到晚地喊税高.
想挣大钱就不要移民什么加拿大嘛.

老捶，还记得Liberal和PC之间最大的分歧之一 -- 私利学校的学费。PC给私利学校的学费免税，最高达8000刀，当年政策一出，私立学校和中产们欢欣鼓舞，据说当时私立学校挤破门槛。Liberal上次竞选时，利用这一点攻击PC，上台之后，立即取消了PC这个“既定方针”。对於中产们，8000刀的免税，可能是3000刀以上的区别，也就是一个全家度假的package。

以前感觉Liberal是非常支持移民的。

我没觉得Liberal支持移民, 只觉得他们利用移民, 拉移民的选票, 所以对移民政策也是出尔反尔, 想要你选票的时候, 就装模作样改改移民法, (比如去年把独立移民分数降低), 不想要你的时候, 一脚踢开, 比如把移民申请速度拉长到5年. 加拿大移民部是有 surplus的一个部, 而且surplus非常高, 但是政府就不把钱投入到再增加资源处理积压个案, 动机不是明摆着吗, 现在不要你.

保守党没有歧视移民也没有优待移民, 只是把移民和早年来的移民一视同仁.

不知道,
也更不可能记得了.
当然也不会为了一年三千加刀改变什么立场.

移民从自身利益出发,应该选政策有利于就业市场的政党,减税就是重要的手段之一. 这次看来没有其他选择了.

很多网友认为自由党的移民政策不错，经济政策不好，但保守党则相反。我要提醒大家一下，移民政策的基础是社会经济，没有好的社会经济，再好的移民政策也不可能持久。前些年经济上升期移民政策的宽松，以及后来经济下降期移民政策的收紧，都是在自由党的主持下完成的。

You really can't accuse the liberals of being poor financial managers of this country: Canada is better off than most G8 countries in terms of economic development and GDP increase during the Liberal reign. Now look at the Conservatives' track record, how Mulroney nearly bankrupted the country with an outrageously enormous national debt, can you still conclude that the Conservatives would offer a better economy? Can we really believe a politician's promises???

 

[一把手]

不过对于大多数选民来说, paying more tax is not acceptable at all. As to a politician's promises, don't expect him/her to keep all of them, but at lease please don't break most of them.

I agree. McGinty should be punished, one way or another.
