NDP REALITY CHECK: What IS Justin Trudeau’s position small on business tax cuts?

Yesterday, Justin Trudeau once again made it painfully clear that he has no plan for the economy, or a sense of where he stands on major policy issues. He’s simply not ready to lead.

When asked if he supports the proposed tax reduction for small businesses, Trudeau replied:

“Not really. Needs to be redesigned.” - Justin Trudeau, Power and Politics, April 21 2015

But by this morning, the Liberal Leader had a completely new position:

“We certainly wouldn't reverse the cut to small business taxes.” - Justin Trudeau, April 22, 2015

That’s strange, because when the NDP proposed lowering small business taxes just a few months ago, Justin Trudeau voted against it along with Conservatives.

With all of the immediate challenges facing the middle class, Canadians can’t afford to wait for Justin Trudeau to get ready.
