Yep, he is clawing back that heavily marketed tax cut by stealth.  Higher payroll tax, small business taxes, the first ever 'robo-tax' (automated tax hikes on alcohol without the inconveniences of parliamentary debate, so where will it be applied next?), carbon tax (without forcing revenue neutrality, most provinces have opted for the tax grab for their pet projects). And he has yet to come clean with investors on capital gains hikes (are they off the table or merely deferred?) or dividend tax credits.  He even threatened to make employer health benefits taxable, then did an about face but then refused a motion to protect taxpayers from a future threat.

How about a closer look at spending before contemplating more tax hikes?
