3 CIBC: The advance figure for February pointed to a stall in activity, although this was likely more a reflection of worse than normal winter weather during the month and the ending of the #GSTholiday rather than #trade #uncertainties.

Just a reminder to anyone who has #books on hold...only eight days left before you'll have to pay the #GST again! Please make arrangements to pick up your books as soon as possible! Thank you! #GSTHoliday

Has the GST tax ‘holiday’ helped businesses 1 month in? What retailers say - National | Globalnews.ca While some report seeing increases in sales, others suggest the tax holiday has gone over 'like a lead balloon' for businesses worried about keeping track of tax rules.

I wasn't sure at first, but admittedly we did enjoy dining out more, using #GSTHoliday as an excuse.

...also got lots of puzzles. Apparently you fixate on finishing a puzzle on xmas, your fam thinks you need more. 😶

The best thing #justintrudeau can do right now to counter #trump threats easily is to extend the #GSTHoliday to all #Canadian produced goods and services indefinitely

This will encourage all #Canadians to buy #Canadian if they save even 5% against #USA made options

Then impose tariffs.

In light of #trump tariffs and to encourage people to buy #Canadian, #justintrudeau should extend the #GSTHoliday indefinitely on ALL #Canadian made products only

This should also include all services provided by #Canadian companies

GST holiday started. Noticed prices of most items in several grocery stores went up between 50¢ and $1. I guess if the government isn’t going to take your money, grocery store CEOs will. #greedflation. #GSTHoliday #grocery

It’s Day 1 of the #GSTholiday and my local bakery has an opinion about it, an opinion I share.

I'm not a fan of the GST holiday. Can we try the Scrooge Tax (tax the rich and greedy and put that money towards services that help people)?

Scamming the government on 10% of the basket will be my goal this holiday season.

"A gift basket that contains beverages and other items, if 90% or more of the total value of the basket corresponds to items that would have no GST/HST charged on them if they were supplied separately"

The GST/HST tax holiday is just one of the many supports we are delivering for Canadians alongside programs like dental care, childcare, and pharmacare. Despite the Conservatives' efforts to create chaos, obstruct Parliament, and block your tax relief. #GSTHoliday

Malgré les efforts des conservateurs pour semer le chaos, faire de l'obstruction au Parlement et bloquer votre allègement fiscal, nous restons déterminés à faire des progrès. #GSTHoliday

TROY MEDIA: GST holiday a band-aid fix for Canadians starving for real solutions Impact of BC & Canadian Politics on Social, Economic, Health, Education, Environment, Employment issues by Liberals, Green Party, NDP, & Conservatives

As former US prez Ronald Reagan famously said, “Govt is not the solution to our problem; govt is the problem”

Temporary fiscal measures like #gstholiday exemplify this, offering political convenience at the expense of real solutions

✨ The federal government’s GST tax break to all Canadians starts Dec 14 until Feb 15, 2025.

I asked the Minister of Small Business @rechievaldez.bsky.social about this measure and how we’re making life better and safer for Canadians and businesses.

In 5 days, our government is giving a tax break to all Canadians.

Pierre Poilievre voted against it.

Some Liberal MPs upset with Trudeau for not consulting caucus or cabinet before announcing two-month GST holiday and $250 cheques Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recently announced measures to address affordability are 'well intentioned misfires,' as they are going to ‘hurt’ the Liberals more than ‘help’ them, says Nik Nanos, ch...

Justin Trudeau was just so eager to get out some Christmas goodies he didn't even take the time to properly consult with members of cabinet and caucus. They could have told him he was making some dumb omissions #GSTholiday #Canada #cdnpoli www.hilltimes.com/story/2024/1...

I was SHOCKED at many ppl think that disabled ppl get ALL their disability needs paid for, in particular.

They don't know that the MAYBE $30 extra #GSTHoliday savings will pay for medications that aren't/fully covered & other equipment or essentials that others don't require for daily life😔

'A little candy today for pain down the road': Former Bank of Canada governor on GST holiday, rebate cheques Former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge says the Liberal government’s proposed GST holiday, as well as their plan to send $250 cheque to 18.7 million working Canadians, is a 'bad package.'

A good way to put it. We need much more than this GST holiday to help address the cost of living crisis #Canada #GSTHoliday #cdnpoli #costofliving'A little candy today for pain down the road': Former Bank of Canada governor on GST holiday, rebate cheques
