It costs a lot more to go to work these days. Should the Canada Employment Credit of $1501 for 2026 be raised higher to account for this?

Like everything the government does, it ends up being a “one and done”. There is never a thought that… oh, I do’t know… the prices might go up? While I don’t think the government should be giving out money (or credits) willy-nilly, they should be willing to increase the credits they do allow from time to time. This government does not seem to live in the real world, just the ones in their minds.

Reestablishing the transit tax credit is long overdue as well. It both aligns with Canada’s Carbon Reduction goals and provides a tax break for working families.

Yes I agree. It should be tied to annual inflation rate.
