It's a one time payout. It isn't a long term solution. The feds could provide cash for people who need it. Maybe increase GST payouts for low income Canadians? It could be covered by reforming OAS.

I agree. It's a gimmick. That didn't stop Doug Ford. He's doing it again. Nobody's complaining. I won't. I won't complain against re-distribution of money to average joe no matter what form it takes.

What do you mean, "nobody's complaining?!" Not only are people complaining in this very thread, Freeland herself specifically calls it out in her resignation letter!!

Yeah just here. Didn't you see Douggie get re-elected with the same gimmick? that's what I meant.

Everyone complained!! No one voted!! Both things happened, but there is no evidence the rebate cheque had anything to do with his re-election. Do you seriously think it is going to work for Trudeau?!

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Do you have evidence that rebate cheques didn't work? Show ME. There isn't any published saying EITHER way.
