Election: Tuition and Tax

Just some quick things:
The Liberals have promised to help pay for College and University tuition beginning in September of 2007. They would pay half the cost of your first year, and half the cost of your fourth year. This would save you up to $5.000.00

The Conservatives have promised to change the tax amount for the poorest tax bracket. Instead of taxing them 15% (like they are now taxed), they would instead tax them 16%. Yes, you read that right. The Conservatives would raise the taxes of the poorest income earners. They have also promised to lower the GST to 6%, but that benefits the rich most of all (since they spend the most).

And don’t forget to watch, or read the highlights of the leadership debate on tonight (Monday) on the CBC.
That’s it for now!
