For anyone not keeping up, BC is about to have a election in 2 months. The current opposition party/previous incumbent party is currently polled to be almost completely wiped out in the election by the BC Cons. so this seems like a go for broke maneuver.
A B.C. United government would eliminate the provincial income tax on the first $50,000 earned by every British Columbian, Leader Kevin Falcon announced Tuesday.
The move would save British Columbians an average of $2,050 a year each at a time when people are struggling to afford the rising cost of living, Falcon said.
The tax cut would cost the province $5.4 billion in tax revenue, B.C. United says.
A lot of people have been talking about the Federal election that is very likely to be a year away. I think we should taking things one election at a time and polls have been trending in the wrong direction for BC in the last few months. It would be good if people gave more attention to BC politics.
