Would be but I doubt it. Reducing taxes on luxury items or what are perceived as “rich” people is very unpopular.
Tariffs and how it will impact Corvette update.

Ah , don't hold your breath on that one......be nice though to see them come through on at least ONE of the things they promised during " the most important election of our lifetime " . Speaks for itself.

So is the boat industry and they have a $250K exemption. People are refusing to pay it on boats and walking away as well.
Don't look for anything to happen with the budget on Tuesday concerning the luxury tax. It's a cash cow for the gov't
that is going to announce billions of expenditures on "building" projects, during the budget. I doubt there will be any mention
of the luxury tax when the budget is announced.
Extremely unlikely, they are starved for monies. They have never adjusted the luxury tax due to inflation so it is slowly encompassing more and more vehicles.
If there is any action on the Luxury Tax grab it will be an increase not a reduction. Which won't matter if they don't get support for the budget. What do you want to bet that at least three MP's are out sick with the flu , lol. And guess from which party. Could be deja vu all over again.......

I heard they don't have the votes to pass it by themselves and if it doesn't pass that could generate another election.
It's a minority government. They will never have enough by themselves. Either the NDP or the Bloc need to help pass it.
Unless of course some of the Cons are out sick as 1stvette suggests might happen.
Wasn't the Conservative MP's I was alluding to. Same handful that basically called the shots for the couple of years prior to the last election would be my guess. Let's hope it doesn't result in an election . If everyone shows up and votes along party lines though that could be the result. As you said the last thing we need or want is a Liberal majority.
Not with Carney the way he seems to be going. Lets see what's up with the budget.
Yes . They are 3 seats short of a majority. And yes it is a confidence vote , they lose and taxpayers get to spend an estimated $570,000,000 on another election.
Could be scary . Would they dare to increase the GST ? Or the retirement age ? One easy target would be the Luxury Tax . We shall see.
If anyone goes AWOL I suspect NDP would be checking their bank account to discover it too low to ran a campaign.
Most of us probably have more in VetteCoins than they have in the bank.......
I'm thinking about asking "AI" about "Vette Coins" but I think the answer will confuse me further...
I think that's what they are designed for , lol. Going to have to ask the boss about them...

Perhaps that's why Denis gave his away?
lol.... Denis didn't give his away. I made a bet with him over one of his C8 predictions a while ago. I gave him the option when he lost of making a small donation to CCF instead but strangely enough, he advised that he was particular about charities he donated to. I don't consider CCF a charity but each to their own I guess....
Thanks for clearing up the Denis situation. Now can someone on this site fill everyone in on the "Vette Coin" deal? When I posed the question to "AI", all I got back was "LOL"...
For your bathroom reading....no idea how they came up with this, lol.
