RE: Quebecers get $500 handouts as Albertans pay $650 each to equalization.All provincial and territorial governments should follow Quebec’s recent decision to give every person over the age of 18 years, who earn under $100,000 per year, a one time payment of $500, to help weather the spiraling out of control inflation crisis in this country..Quebec’s Premier Francois Legault has the right idea by giving all eligible Québécois 500 bucks in stone cold cash, to be deposited directly into their bank accounts, no questions asked. This will greatly help people pay for sky high prices at the gas pumps, hydro bills, groceries and so forth. Rightwing governments want to deal with inflation by cutting taxes on fuel and scrapping some user fees. Leftwing governments want to remedy it by raising the minimum wage and boosting social programs. Both of these approaches fail to put some extra income directly in the pockets of most people, including the tapped out middle class..Under Premier Legault’s plan, most Québécois will be receiving 500 bucks in their bank accounts this spring, as soon as they file their 2021 income tax returns..With the federal government having covered the lion’s share of all stimulus programs, where both the COVID 19 pandemic and inflation crisis is concerned, it is high time that the provinces and territories ponied up..Show me the money, premiers!.Noelle Terry.,.Regina, Saskatchewan.Want to submit a letter to the editor?
