Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced Thursday that a government led by him would allow Canadians to contribute $5,000 more a year to their tax-free savings account (TFSA) — as long as that extra cash is being invested in Canadian companies.
Poilievre is pitching it as a way to keep more investment dollars at home because the extra contribution limit will be earmarked for Canadian investments alone.
Almost 10% of us live below the poverty line. Do you think we have the money to invest in a TFSA?
Don’t worry, I hear is is planning to give people a 50% federal rebate on custom suits, maybe that will help you somehow.
