Carla Beck, leader of Saskatchewan's NDP leader, started her election campaign with a bold promise. No tax hikes if her party wins. Beck also plans to lower some taxes to help people save money."People are struggling, even those who haven't struggled in the past. We've got to lower costs and that's exactly what we'll do," said Beck in Saskatoon.She wants to stop the gas tax to make driving cheaper.Beck's "No Tax Hike Guarantee" means no increases in income taxes, small business taxes, sales tax, or corporate taxes. She believes this will make Saskatchewan more affordable and stable.Beck said she'll grow the economy, find ways to save money, and cut waste to pay for her plans. She pointed out that the current Premier Scott Moe's million-dollar trip to Dubai is an example of wasteful spending.Beck criticized Moe's Sask Party for raising taxes in the past. They increased the sales tax from 5% to 6% and started taxing groceries and kids clothes. Moe also plans to raise small business taxes in 2025."We want to give folks a guarantee that unlike Scott Moe and the Sask Party, we won't raise your taxes — in fact we'll lower them," said Beck.The NDP leader promised more details on how they will cut costs for families in the coming weeks.With these promises, Beck hopes to win over voters worried about the rising cost of living.
