Perfect. Another wealth transfer to the oligarchs.
Can someone explain to me how I, a 25 year old student living alone, making less than $30k a year, don’t qualify for this?
This is also a stupid “solution.” We can’t just keep handing out $200 everytime people bring up the impact of inflation. Stop the inflation! Companies are just increasing their profit margins while consumers get less and less.
It’s based on your 2021 income, I believe, did you file for that year? Media has also been using the term “roll out” in articles which to me implies possible delays (CRA advises you wait 10 days before following up), did you check your CRA account to see if it’s listed under your credits?
I mean I’m not attacking people with lower means, but this is the stupidest plan ever. Also, as a high income earner, I love how this signifies that I’m not affected by inflation, when I certainly am. My groceries are up 10-20% too, just like everyone else’s. What is the government doing about that?
I wish they’d take these millions or billions, and set up a consumer protection bureau, instead of giving people a few hundred bucks, which isn’t going to fix the problem or really do much. If anything, it’s behavior that just leads to more inflation. the Liberals are just as bad as the conservatives, won’t go after the real problem, because it would involve attacking their bros.
My groceries are up 10-20% too, just like everyone else’s.
I wish! I’ve had to stop buying several staple foods because prices went up 35-70% in some cases.
And to add insult to injury, packages got smaller, so I’d have to buy double to feed the same number of people (and pay more per package!).
Not only do I think that grocery stores should be forced to refund “excessive profits”, but they should be heavily fined and someone up top should spend time in jail for stealing from the public.
EDIT: spelling
This is an insane idea.
