The Ontario 2018 election thread

[robkelk]

We finally have a point for debate!

Ontario's corporate tax rate is the lowest in Canada.

• The PCs want to lower the corporate income tax rate. (Doug Ford's family owns a reasonably large corporation; when asked whether he'd benefit, he dodged the question by saying he'd be taking a pay cut by becoming Premier.)
  
• The Liberals want to leave it as-is.
  
• The NDP want to raise it.
  
• The Greens want to raise it, but lower the employer's contribution to the provincial health plan (which covers everyone in Ontario).
  

It's a graduated scale, depending on how much profit the company makes. Nobody wants to touch the corporate tax rate for the first half-million dollars of profit, so this only affects big business.
