    Doesn’t seem like enough to me, although he’s had success with these small asks (he got the GST credit doubled a few times now)

      $500 is better than $0 but I dont see it significantly changing the math involved. It might relieve the pressure a little for some people but only for a month, maybe 2.

        You’re looking at it wrong. It’s your money back, not free money. You pay 7% of everything (nearly) in the form of GST. And every year they give you back like .5% of it in the form in that lil’ rebate.

        When the price of everything double or tripled over the last few years, so did your taxes. And what you pay in the form of GST.
