It means that anyone who earns over $200,000 would see a tax hike of around 4%, while those earning between $44,701 and $89,401 would see a cut of around 1.5%, according to the Globe and Mail.
Yeah, this one cracked me up. So if you invest in 8 years of college/university with the hopes of someday making a six-figure salary - you get penalized with no tax break. And that 4% tax hike over $200k is based on gross earnings...but works out closer to 9% of take-home net pay.

I heard many non-muslim Canadians on the east coast attempted to cover their faces at the voting booths during the election in protest of Trudeau's promise to end the niqab ban.

They weren't permitted to vote with their faces covered.

Funny how that works.
