The government is proposing that the GST/HST be fully and temporarily relieved on holiday essentials, like groceries, restaurant meals, drinks, snacks, children’s clothing, and gifts, from December 14, 2024, to February 15, 2025. This tax break will make a meaningful difference for Canadians by making essentially all food GST/HST free, providing real relief at the cash register.
Obviously this is a vote bribe, just looking at the wording of the press release it’s written for Christian conservatives.
Specifically making Christmas trees part of the tax break?
As someone who is voting left already, I’m just happy to get the tax break. But if this is the thing that causes enough cons to not vote PP, I’ll take the budget cuts.
Under the libs at least we might see things like healthcare and affordable housing.

Sorry i thought this was about ford’s $200 rebate. Either way it isn’t a solution and is clearly pandering for votes.
It’s kind of weird to see Trudeau following Doug Ford on policy.
