Lower tax increases the competitiveness of the country and encourage investment into the country. It's a common sense. Why do you think thousands of financial institutions open businesses in Bermuda and/or Barbados?

Canada already has the lowest corporate tax rate among G8 countries.Why more? Job creator, or fatter bonus?

This author is a total moron. Tax is assessed on REVENUE? Are you kidding me? And he claims he knows Economics?

Manulife Financial Corp as the top revenue earning public company at $34,550M. Using the revenue figure from above, that would mean Manulife could hire up to 9,337 new employees, just from this tax giveaway.

I happen to know that this company lose $ in 2010 so did not pay any tax. I'm wondering where the tax saving is coming from?
Tax on revenue? Are you insane? Revenue has nothing to do with profit. Manulife loss upto 1 billion last year. Ford's revenue was much higher but they were cutting staffs because they lost so much $.

Agree with Jeffrey on this one. The article is a joke. Even a first year B Commerce could have better argument.

Please tell me where the TAX BENEFIT is from if a company has a net income loss regardless how much revenue they are making.

You run a economic deficit when the economy is bad and you need to stimulate spending. That's called fiscal policy. It's a policy tool that the government has to influence the economy. When things are good, you can raise tax again.

Cut services and stimulate spending are totally different.

You said 只要减税， 一定就得减服务. I said that's not necessary. You can cut tax and run a deficit without cutting services.

Leading? Canada GDP growth rate has been higher than US in average for the past 20 years. That's not called leading.

A country's competitiveness is not measured by how powerful and how rich they are. I hope you understand that. Foreign investors only care where they can make money.

"labour-oriented Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives" 应该是为labour着想的吧？如果真像你们说的那样给大企业减税，然后大企业瓜分给员工的话，它干嘛要反对呢？

保守党有“给扩大人手的公司新赠人头费用补贴”的政策啊，看来你不喜欢的政党也不愿了解。那叫 Hiring Credit，就是对25名雇员以下的小业主，2011年招收新人，不是得给职工买 EI 吗？小企业报税时 EI premium 政府给报销，最高额度1000刀。保守党不光减税的，这项政策
