Pointing it out, and spreading the message is the first step to getting a critical mass required to affect real change.

Instead of shouting it down, maybe take up the chant.

Imagine living and working in a system that allows you to make so mich more money than you need. And then to be upset at paying less than 1% of it in extra taxes to maintain or improve that system.

‘Give me all of the benefits and non of the responsibility or Ill throw a hissyfit.’  is what it sounds like.

Without those taxes those costs start coming out of pocket to private companies like insurance or health providers or road tolls. Easily eating up the savings of not paying taxes, and then some.

You can afford it, but others can’t. Don’t be a dick. Thats un-Canadian.

He’ll send Elon with his dogs to investigate for efficiency issues, and withdraw funds, or send his DOJ after anyone who stands up to him.

That was the whole point of this past month of news blast after news blast of the damage they are willing to do.

He is cowing everyone into submission and its being very effective.

Any serious, viable candidates from the opposition will be ‘investigated’ and arrested on charges of ‘fraud’.

They’ll be lucky to end up in gitmo.

I have a hard time believing the story Ice-T has.

His licence, and insurances had been expired for years, and just now, this one time he was going to get it renewed he got pulled over? This sounds exactly like a ready made lie that has been used and reused over the years.

If I was the cop, I'd probably be pissed off that I'd been lied to with such an obvious BS story.

Then Ice-T gets out of the car, demands his papers back and approaches the cop? I live in Canada, and I know you don't get out of the car during a traffic stop unless you're invited to.

I think he means that during his 2016-2020 run, he told people running the bids for the Olympics and World Cup that he wouldn't be president in 2026, because his second term was supposed to be 2020-2024. Then, since he claims the dems rigged the 2020 election, his second term is now.

You need to stop looking at it in terms of absolute dollars paid. And look at it terms of how much you have left after paying for a comfortable level of living, and taxes.

Most people don’t cross the threshold of comfortable, and if they do, they have virtually nothing left for retirement or savings.

A thousand dollars to you isn’t the same as a thousand dollars to someone else.

That’s where a lot of people will claim you aren’t paying your fair share.

Also, blaming the state of the province on one part or one man is really missing a lot of historical context.

Decades of avoiding taxes has led the atrophy in our health care system. Then covid happened. Globally. We weathered it quite well because of the NDP party. It still took its toll. A lof of our aging staff in the health care sector either retired early or burned out due to the undue stress. I think a lot of people are blind to how over stressed the system was during that time.

It’s a delusional pipe dream to think we can fix any of that without taxes on those who can afford it.
