Minimum wages and universal basic income

[ijmorlan]

You may be forgiven for being confused by the ever-changing promises made during election campaigns. It doesn’t help that after the Liberals didn’t cancel it, the Conservatives (who first introduced it) then reduced the rate.

That was their promise though -- with most of their PC Caucus long removed. Technically different parties and completely different people.

Yes, true, I didn’t mean to imply anything about anybody’s consistency. It’s just confusing that after a party with a C in its name introduced the tax, it was another very similar party with C in its name that actually reduced it rather than the L party that opposed its introduction and promised to remove it but didn’t.
