Canada unveils 2024 budget targeting youth, from 1st homes to after-work freedom

46

Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland delivered a federal budget on Tuesday geared towards younger citizens, proposing a spending plan that promises to do everything from make it easier to buy a first home to protecting workers from their workplaces bothering them off hours.

Freeland also detailed changes to how capital gains are taxed. These proposed changes could see roughly 40,000 of the wealthiest Canadians pay a bigger share of their returns annually.

Reacting to the budget in the House of Commons, Opposition Leader Pierre Poilievre said that the Conservative Party will vote against the “wasteful, inflationary” fiscal plan. “Like a pyromaniac spraying gas on the inflationary fire that he [Prime Minister Justin Trudeau] lit, it is getting too hot and too expensive for Canadians,” Poilievre said.

Following the announcement, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh criticized the party for failing to tackle corporate greed, which he said is the primary reason for the high cost of living in Canada — a hot topic issue for Canadians in the last few years.

  1. THIS IS NOT A FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE BUDGET!! IT IS NOT A FAIR TREATMENT BUDGET!!! ALL TRUDEAU & HIS COALITION KNOW IS TO SPEND, SPEND, SPEND, SCREW THE CONSEQUENCES & MAKE CANADIANS POORER & POORER!!!

    THIS COALITION MUST GO!!!

  2. Of COURSE Trudope is trying to get votes!!! And people will think this will help! Trudy is the most despicable PM we have ever had!!! If kids fall for this, we'll be living in full scale socialism within 2 years, it's almost here already!!! What a traitor!!

  3. Interesting rates remain high, and inflation goes crazy and new carbon tax. How could the federal government build affordable homes for working class. We hardly put food on the table daily. How could we afford the house. Liberal needs to leave.

  4. They can do Tik Tok… the best job the young want! You are talking about an Utopia .. but nothing real life! We barely afford bills and food, this is your great plan! We need new leaders!

  5. The world is run by real estate, that'll never change. Housing is a crisis because housing is seen as an investment and money making opportunity. Gotta feed the hungry landlords, they're starving!

  6. The Global News was paid to make Trudeau seem as if he is representing Canadians. Take a look at that thumbnail and Title alone. Just another cover-up. None of these clowns represent the people that make them real.

  7. The liberal are trying to put a band aid on the problem, the conservatives that are raising rent praises because they just want a tenet that pays more give no explanation for a solution.

    Please stop voting base on the party, make the person running for office give out a detail plan on how they think a problem should be solve and vote base on that.

    Vote base on the policies and bills, not base on the party

  8. The tax for the very wealthy???? This new capital gain tax will affect everyone…
    New generations are doom with this goverment trillion debts, that keeps growing with no plans to cut costs, to pay or balance the budget just keep expending…
