The liberal government could resist:

They looked at the voting numbers and said ... we can do this 

And what are they accomplishing :  very little in terms of tax revenue, and more importantly they have underestimated the level of frustration with taxation and the definition of fairness 

Fairness when someone pays 54 percent/ 47 percent cumulative on EVERY dollar earned is not fair .

It's the biggest expense per family in Canada by at least a three fold margin :  way bigger than the house or the car even in metro Toronto 

And it happens just like that :  we have been conditioned to be ripped off in the name of some abstract notion of fairness with no accountability 

The country needs to reexamine taxation and we need to get real :  freedom is what is left in your pocket after taxation .  The freedom to buy goods , educate your children, and to save for retirement 

We work hard, and once that taxation is subtracted it turns out that fairness means taking half of what you earned ?
