I'd love for them to find a way to give the tax rebates and still provide the services, because it's true Canadians are overtaxed. I've heard a few models that would do this - for example, lifetime income tax rather than annual. According to this model, you'd pay no taxes at all until you'd earned your first $150 000 - which, for most people, would be four or five years into their full-time working lives, longer if you earned less per year. After that you'd pay 10% on the next $150 k, then 20%, and so on, with the cap at something like two million. It has a lot of advantages, the biggest one being the opportunity for young people to get established with a home and other investments before they're asked to pay taxes.
In any case - make it easier and more feasible to raise our families without impoverishing ourselves, and we'll reward you with kids who have good work ethics and good educations to run the country.
