Even better give $1 million to each citizen, that would show an uptick in the economy.
BTW, an uptick is not always good, EG more policemen, jail guards, and security jobs is an uptick, but why do you need them?  A car accident also makes a lot of work, doctor, ambulance driver, car salesman, funeral director etc etc.
Increasing taxes to support economic migrants, many who will go home after they qualify for the Baby Bonus for their 6 kids back home, is a big negative for Canadians.
