Broadbent Plans Policy Shift for NDP Tax Debate
Broadbent signals a shift from tax cuts to deficit restraint, telling a Hamilton Canadian Club audience that the NDP will support spending cuts not in social programs to spur jobs and will seek higher taxes on those earning over $40,000 to raise about $1 billion annually. The move risks aligning the NDP with Liberals and Conservatives, inviting internal rifts and potential political marginalization.
