Yea but… it seems to have kept away a conservative government so it’s probably worth the cost.
Exactly. Given that this election came down to what, a few dozen ballots, every little bit helped.
The NDP is one of the few incumbent governments that survived (barely!) an election after this bout of record inflation and whatnot. I don’t think the tax cuts were ideal but people feel the pinch right now and if they hadn’t offered them, I imagine Rustad would be digging us an even deeper hole.
We will have to take every W we can get, no matter how small.
Yeah, but unfortunately tax cuts are popular with people who don’t understand that their tax dollars provide many services that they use even if they get far more utility out of them than they put in. You may as well be throwing away your chances of getting elected if you say you will increase taxes to fix housing, healthcare and infrastructure which have been neglected for decades by every government.
