Conservative leader proposes cutting Canada's lowest income tax rate to aid workers amid rising costs.

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre proposes cutting Canada's lowest income tax rate from 15% to 12.75%, claiming it will save the average worker $900 annually. The plan, set to be fully implemented by 2027, is expected to cost $14 billion yearly. Poilievre plans to fund the cut by reducing bureaucracy and government spending, but critics argue the measure won't sufficiently aid low-income Canadians. This proposal comes amid rising living costs and inflation, as Poilievre seeks to boost his party's appeal ahead of the federal election.
