When I first saw this Poilievre demand thought it was an NDP post… seriously what a moron who doesn’t understand you would have to then do this for anyone impacted by Trumps nonsense across all industries nationwide.

Doesn’t feel very financially prudent … and wasn’t this guy just complaining about the deficit.

The Liberals are uncooperative. They need to work with the Conservatives.

When I got laid off from Nortel in 2009 I got no severance or special treatment from the conservative government. They can bail out US auto makers but refused to help Nortel or its employees even though it was a Canadian company…

So it seems Poilievre hasn’t changed. That’s good to know.

Does he also think any severance packages of workforce adjusted public servants also be tax exempt??
Probably not.

Wait a second all of you were cheering the Carney GST benefit increase. Poilievre asks for a tax relief and the comments on here say we’re too much in a deficit to do it? That it’s financially irresponsible? Someone even found a way to blame Harper again. The mind games are tiring boss.

Why only GM workers? GM workers get special deal only? Another PP blunder.

CPC just grasping at straws.
It sucks for those laid off.
CAMI needs a product or be sold to someone who will actually put money into the place.
The third shift at Oshawa was always temporary and announced as such when they brought it back.

Did they want to make severance completely tax free or just remove the initial withholding tax? The article mentions both, but doesn’t specify which.

He’s just trying to get a new seat in Ontario. His base in Alberta gives him the willies.

Last I checked, GM wasn’t a crown corp. Did something change?

The idea is dumb enough, but the real story to me is how Poilievre just cannot stop with the bad faith attacks and misinformation.
He’s been framing this as „the Liberals withholding the severance pay“ of workers. As if the Liberal party is sitting on this money personally and just refusing to let people have it.
He had his whole Team Canada makeover like, a week ago, and he can’t stop himself from doing everything possible to dumb down the discourse and misinform Canadians.
It’s behaviour that should be disqualifying for a backbencher, let alone someone who wants to lead the country.
> Liberals are withholding 50% of the severance pay of 1,200 autoworkers… I’m calling on the Minister to stop withholding half of their severance pay.
For people wondering what Poilievre is up to these days.

GM can solve its own issues.

When I got laid off 2 years ago, I wasn’t given any tax relief on my severance. And I got nowhere close to as much as these laid off GM workers will get either. I also still got deducted for benefits despite the fact that they ended the same day as my employment.

Tax relief? That would be through the CRA. Do they seriously just say things? That’s a whole legal issue.
