Anybody try the nice little calculator on the Libs website to see how much you'd "save" with their new tax cuts and other social programs? I'd save $64 a month, just over $2 a day. That likely won't cover the increased heating and electricity costs, not to mention the increased cost of gas for the car, food, clothing and virtually everything else that will rise in price as a result of this faulty policy.
And how much will it reduce GHGs? That's right... there are absolutely no targets whatsoever in this plan. None. No targets at all to reduce what it is they say the plan is actually meant for.
Don't kid yourself. This is not an environmental policy. This is a tax grab to pay for Liberal social programs, plain and simple.
