VANCOUVER -- Stephen Harper, who acknowledges he rarely uses public transit, boarded a bus yesterday to repeat his promise to give transit riders a tax break.
In his third announcement in three days in British Columbia, the Conservative Leader said he would bring in a 16-per-cent federal tax credit for transit users who buy monthly or annual passes.
The average savings per person would be $153 annually, he said. In Toronto, TTC Metropass holders would save $190, Greater Vancouver transit users would save $132 to $250 yearly and in Montreal, commuters could save up to $386, Conservatives said.
Hmmmmm......
Wonder how much we who actually use public transit will really save when fares skyrocket to pay for Mr. Harper's tax cuts?
Or will he just take the Norquistian Route #1 and starve the beast by letting it turn to crap before strangling it in the bathtub and/or privatizing it?
