It's nothing but a taxpayer scam so losers and deadbeats can bend taxpayers over for substandard services.
That's what Republicans keep telling you but then Republicans are the ones who have a vested interest in keeping the public stupid and incapable of thinking for themselves. Republicans HATE it when voters can think for themselves, because then they stop voting for policies that give money to rich people, and screw over the working and middle class, and stop reciting the right wing talk points like you just did.
Canada had a Conservative government for 10 years. The gap between rich and poor widened at the fastest rate in history, wages for working Canadians stagnated, but the growth was GREAT. Sound familiar?
We elected a Liberal government, and we now have the fastest growing middle class in the world, and we've been the best country in the world to live in three years running. My personal income would have gone down by $2000 per year if we had elected a Conservative government last time.
Provincially Doug Ford cancelled legislated increases to the minimum wage but he gave us "Buck a Beer", because that's what working people want. Cheap watery beer, that you wouldn't serve to guests you were trying to get rid of, much less want to drink yourself.
