the province might not be able to afford to go any higher
First step. Tax oil & gas(if we already are it’s not enough. So more in that case) like you should’ve been doing all along.
Second step. Provincial sales tax. Nothing over the top. 3 or 4%. Put it in place NOW before we desperately need it. The income could be used to pay better wages and fix the health care system the Useless Clown Party has been messing up. Among other things that need fixing after they touched them.
Best we can do is blame teachers for the problem. Or better yet, say teachers are great but the unions are the problem, as the talking point in Ontario went.
A sales tax is not progressive and it affects lower income people especially. A better option is to raise the corporate tax rate, which Jason Kenney lowered to 8% and the ANDP campaigned on raising to its previous level of 12% in 2023.
