NDP REALITY CHECK: A DESPERATE JUSTIN TRUDEAU ATTACKS TOM MULCAIR PLAN FOR CHANGE
As an increasingly desperate Justin Trudeau attacks Tom Mulcair’s plans for change, it’s important to look at the record:
On helping families looking for childcare:
- Tom Mulcair has a plan for a million spaces which will cost parents no more than $15 a day.
- Justin Trudeau has no plan.
On raising the minimum wage:
- Tom Mulcair will raise the minimum wage for tens of thousands of Canadians and set a standard for Canada.
- Justin Trudeau opposes a federal minimum wage.
On creating jobs:
- Tom Mulcair will cut taxes for small business and companies investing in innovation.
- Justin Trudeau has no plan.
On taxes:
- Tom Mulcair will close loopholes on stock options, cancel Harper’s unfair income-splitting scheme and ensure that Canada’s largest corporations pay their fair share.
- Justin Trudeau’s plan? “Higher-income earners will benefit more from the Liberal tax cut plan than the middle class” (SOURCE: http://www.macleans.ca/economy/economicanalysis/how-the-rich-would-benefit-from-the-liberals-middle-class-tax-cut/)
It’s time for change in Ottawa.
