Letter: Time for Trudeau to make real positive changes

Editor’s note: The following is an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Your catchphrase, “Real change for the middle class” does not hold much weight when your tax break applies to those making $44,000-plus a year.

Editor’s note: The following is an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Your catchphrase, “Real change for the middle class” does not hold much weight when your tax break applies to those making $44,000-plus a year. What about all of us earning much less and especially those on a fixed income?

Also, why was the Tax-Free Savings Account taken from $10,000 and year to $5,000 a year? This was one of the few vehicles available to the middle and lower class to squirrel away a few savings without worrying about the tax man.

Thanks for your “help.” I’m hoping you rethink your position and really make positive changes.
