#Thread: Over the past several days, @AndrewScheer and @CPC_HQ have been sharing misinformation about Canada’s tax system. This is deeply concerning. When politicians ignore experts, and choose to favour rhetoric over facts, we all pay the price. So here are the facts:
Scheer is wrong when he says we raised taxes on the middle class. We cut taxes, providing $13.3 billion in direct tax relief. Today, middle class families are more than $2,000 better off per year, than they were in 2015. Source: @OECD & @FinanceCanada
