This post got me interested in the actual statistics of what income range the middle class represents in Canada, and I found an early 2015 Macleans article [1] listing the following statistics:
- Lowest 20% individual income is 18717 and below
- Highest 20% individual income is 55498 and above
That definitely brought some perspective to my view on this issue. I guess my views on what qualified as a middle class income was pretty heavily skewed towards my own salary range. Now I definitely agree with the conclusions made by you and the Liberal party regarding the TFSA contribution limits.

- tempestn 11y agoThat's why politicians love to cater to the middle class, right? Almost everyone self-identifies that way. Edit: Ha, wrote that before clicking through to your link, which leads off with the same point in almost identical wording. Interesting numbers in general too. Thanks!
