Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under fire in online circles for comments about low-income Canadians and the amount of taxes they pay.
“We see proof that the Conservatives simply don’t understand that low-income families don’t benefit from tax breaks because they don’t pay taxes,” Trudeau said in question period on Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear what definition of low-income Trudeau was using, although observers noted that income taxes kick in at around $12,000 per year and that every income bracket shells out for other fees like sales taxes and the new carbon tax.
