I think that Trudeau is still mainly on top because of the Child Benefit. I don't have kids young enough, but a co-worker with a kid in 1st grade says it covers the better part of their rent. A generation ago we got the baby bonus for our kids, but it was only $30 a month or so. I think the child poverty program should work more like OAS, i.e. the less income you have the more you get, instead of a flat subsidy for everybody. Even negative taxes should be progressive.
