The federal government will implement a two-month GST break on a list of goods, from restaurant meals to diapers. Andrew Chang explains how much you’re likely to save, depending on where you live, and why there could be some unintended consequences.

I think some of his estimates were light, Christmas trees are $60-$80 for real and more for artificial.
Anyways, I don’t really benefit much from this. And I agree with the Bloc, $40b deficit and we’re spending 10% of that on vote buying. I’d rather see something more meaningful done.
If you’re struggling to make ends meet, that’s not a very reasonable item to be looking at the cost of.
I’m not buying a seasonal decoration if i cant afford to feed my kids.
I don’t know, everyone wants to have a Christmas, I think people who can’t afford a tree this season are going to be feeling very bad.
I buy mine from a church, I’m sure they’d give out one for free if someone was struggling.
Maybe I should see if I can prepay for some trees for anyone struggling.
Sure, but what’s more important if you have limited money available? A tree or a meal (hopefully with leftovers)?
It shoes buying a tree after December 14?
