Liberals have been staunch proponents of a high tax, high spend trend. With the costly carbon tax, they made it harder for Canadians to eat, heat, and house themselves. Worse, Liberals hiked the capital gains tax—targeting workers, doctors, small businesses, farmers, and homebuilders.  

 

Now they’re trying to play a trick just in time for an election, temporarily pausing these measures to fool Canadians into giving them a fourth term. But make no mistake, if they win, Liberals will continue to eat away at your paycheque, bit by bit.

 

It’s clear that Canadians can’t afford any more tax increases. Just in 2024, the average Canadian family earned an income of $147,570 and paid about 45% of that – $65,766 – in taxes. In other words, the average family would have to work until June 13th before money started going into their pocket instead of to the government.

 

Conservatives believe that you should get to keep more of your hard-earned money. We’ll repeal Canada’s carbon tax law for everyone, for real, and for good, while also permanently reversing the Liberals job-killing capital gains tax hike on Canadians.

 

Conservatives also have a plan to make taxes low, simple, and fair. That’s why, with sixty days of forming government, we’ll create a Tax Reform Task Force to design a Bring it Home Tax Cut that will:

 

• Bring home production and powerful paycheques with lower taxes on work, hiring, and making stuff.

• Bring home fairness by reducing the share of taxes paid by the poor and middle class while cutting tax-funded corporate welfare and cracking down on overseas tax havens.

• Bring home 20% less paperwork by simplifying tax rules.  

 

Conservatives will lower taxes to bring home powerful paycheques, unlocking the potential of our strivers, builders, and entrepreneurs.​
