#mp #costoflivingcrisis #canadianpolitics

A new poll reveals that 79% of Canadians oppose the upcoming MP pay raise set for April 1, 2025, with 86% opposition among those with firm opinions. Despite a cost-of-living crisis, rising inflation, and economic struggles, MPs will see their salaries increase by thousands, with the Prime Minister’s salary surpassing $419,000.

The poll, commissioned by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), highlights the growing public frustration with government spending as Canadians struggle to make ends meet. CTF is calling for a pay freeze, pointing out that MPs previously froze their pay between 2010 and 2013 during tough economic times.

Should MPs take a pay freeze until the economy recovers? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
