A few days back, Carney cut a bunch of social services, and some elderly said that they'd much rather see higher taxes than cut services.

If the elderly are so obsessed with getting people to pay higher taxes, here's what I propose:

- cut back OAS (perhaps lower the threshold for clawbacks)
- eliminate property tax deferrals
- reduce or eliminate pension income tax credits (such as what's applied for CPP income and RRSP withdrawals)

Makes things a lot more fair this way.

Here's a link to an article telling about the 15,000 jobs that are being eliminated. I'm pretty elderly, but I'd pay more taxes in the ways you suggested rather than lose food and water inspectors, court workers, National Film Board workers, vehicle safety inspectors, border and prison guards, librarians, etc.

Here’s where 15,000 federal public service jobs will be cut over 3 years

Nearly 15,000 full-time equivalent positions will be cut in federal departments over the next three years, as part of the federal government’s plan to find $60 billion in savings by 2029.
