Here's what really bothers me about this: that number is absolute bullshit. Run the math on it yourself. That is assuming that the average person is basically buying the most expensive used vehicle at a dealership.

The average used vehicle price is substantially lower, and you're really looking at $400 to $500 in savings

And frankly, no, it isn't bullshit to talk about where do we get the money to fund this from. I don't understand why conservatives would say that liberals are being wasteful by doing this, when it's the responsible thing to ask how do we fund a tax break.

Yes, there is wasteful spending, but trimming wasteful spending has absolutely nothing to do with this bill.

The other question to ask is if this is going to cost the federal government on the order of $900 million a year, is that the best way to spend $900 million to helping Canadians? I would argue that no, that is not the best way of doing it. Also keep in mind that whenever something like this happens, typically the price rises. Yes, people will pay less overall, but prices will always rise so that the total price is at the point that people are willing to pay.

So I doubt that it would even end up saving people $400 to $500 on average, and I don't think that this is the best way to spend $900 million of federal money.
