Highlights:

- Corporate tax goes from 10% to 12%.
- Taxes go up 3% for income $100K-150K, 5% 150-200, 7% >200.

Sorry, but free tuition? If you don't value your education enough to pay for it, why should the taxpayer?

Raj has a lot of credibility on healthcare, but the rest of the platform reads like an NDP wishlist.
I don't agree with free tuition (although would certainly support a return to ~1990 level tuition), but I don't have a problem with the rest of it. And yes, my taxes would be going up in this regime.
