They need to slow down spending and balance the budget first. After that, any tax increases should go soley to debt reduction.

I posted this at CBC...imagine Frank singing. -------------------------- Those fingers ripping papers in her chair.Into that guy's back she does stare.That flipping out in public fare...It's a witch-hunt.And she's got no more recourse for it,The Senate simply wouldn't fall for it.No one to burn, oh what to do?'Cause it's a witch hunt,A failed witch hunt,And although she knows it's a game for fools.He arouses a political need in her...Without him she'd have nothing to do. ------------------------------- Oh the protests! "Brigaded"...lol...triggering that lot is fun.

I know! Oh the outrage... people who know my views won't even talk to me at work.

I think that plenty of tax dollars can be saved if Canadians would decide to get rid of many useless leftist liberal programs and agendas that have done not a dam good thing for Canada could lower our debt by hundreds of billions. Just by cutting tax dollars going to useless programs like bilingualism, multiculturalism, foreign aid and being able to ship out right all criminal illegals right away when they get caught trying to sneak in at our border Canadians could save hundreds of billions of their tax dollars every year from being blown like they are today. We could maybe even eliminate our debt. Our tax dollars needs to go to people in need, and not to the few minority interest groups that really have no love for Canada at all. They just keep giving us more bull chit to have to deal with and pay for. Enough already. Probably approx. 70% could be saved by doing so. Hey, you never know. All those tax dollars saved by eliminating those mentioned above can go to health care, infrastructure, seniors, and education programs that Canada does need to look after. We have too many government programs that give our tax dollars that mostly go too special minority interest groups who are living the good life by sucking our tax dollars to be blown on their pet peeve socialist projects that most Canadians never asked for. Tough love is what is needed in this country. But all we get from our dear leaders is wimpy and gutless feel good programs and agendas that is going to eventually will bankrupt this country or the politicians will have to create more new taxes to try to keep things up and running. More new taxes that Canadians do not need to have to fork out anymore. My opinion.

So ? Trump is hardly the first president (and Congress) to run deficits. Just in today:

Does dedicated taxes really work, I mean take a look at the taxes the provincial government puts on say tires, they say it is to upkeep our road ways, and yet it is dumped in the general coffers, spent like any other tax,...much like most taxes both fed and provincial. A lot of our spending is not on need items but rather directed toward want items or nice to have items, like the recent liberal decision to raise the basic amount for income taxes at the cost of over 5 plus bil, of tax payers money....don't get me wrong any tax cut is great, but is it a tax break when you pay for it, these tax breaks come at a cost, either higher taxes, or programs are cut, and a lot times it is at the cost of the programs we consider a need, like health care, education , defense, policing etc.

You confuse everything with fascism. To you any opinion which contradicts you is fascism, despite you having little idea what fascism actually entails. You're also intruding into a discussion you obviously have been too lazy to follow as I already pointed out that the role of judges in the past was to prevent federal and provincial governments from intruding on one another's territory. As to the "executive branch" it does not exist in this country.

Yes, in the same way it was made apparent when Jesse Jackson was awarded his.

Here is the Trump record. This is I would suggest why she ripped up his partisan speech. I would also suggest while she was petulant for ripping up his speech he was equally a jack ass for refusing to shake her hand - his ignorance and boorish behaviour has led to the highly partisan behaviour seen. It doesn't make it right but pretending it happens in a vacuum is bullshit. Trump farts, Pelosi waves her hands. She may wave them with a tad too much enthusiasm. Perhaps she should have brought a portable fan and placed it in his direction. The stink: · in 2019, the gap between the richest and poorest households in the United States reached its highest point in more than 50 years · the no. of Americans without health insurance continues to increase · the ave. household debt is now in excess of $14 trillion · the most recent employment report reported wages increased by just 2.9 percent in 2019 with the US inflation at 2.1 % for the same period · Trump’s 2017 tax cut never created the $4,000 pay raise Trump GUARANTEED would happen after the tax cuts · the tax cut resulted in 91 co’s on the Fortune 500 playing NO federal taxes and the US’s 6 largest banks saving $32 billion in 2019 but the banks still layed off 1,000 employees · Trump promised the tax cut would produce 4-6% economic growth in 2019 but in fact in the 4th quarter of 2019 the gdp growth rate was 2.1% which was lower than BOTH the tax rate before the tax cut and LOWER than the average gdp increase in Obama’s second term (which was 2.4%) · since the tax cuts annual budget deficits under Trump are now at a trillion dollars · Trump has indicated he will make cuts to Social Security and Medicare · In almost every speech Trump champions himself a champion of made in America jobs growing and in particular construction, manufacturing, and mining however job growth in these sectors was only growing at 0.8 percent in 2019 compared to 2 percent in Obama’s final term · Trumps’ decision to engage in a trade war with China and other foreign economies triggered a recession in the manufacturing sector in 2019 crippling the economies of Wisconsin and Michigan and in particular his approach to negotiating with China created reactions to stop buying agricultural products from the US triggering a 24% increase in farm bankruptcies last year, with the most coming from Wisconsin · the Congressional Budget Office has stated that Trump’s trade policies will cost American households an average of $1,277 this year · layoffs of employees is the highest number now under Trump than in the last 4 years · Trump has NOT invested in education and instead feels stock buybacks are their priority God bless Donald Trump.

SNC isn't just a criminal entity abroad, they're a criminal entity in Canada as well, with their proven history of bribing at least one Lib politician. If you lived in a condo building and SNC was doing a report to see if your building was leaking, or how much it would cost to repair it, how would you feel about that now that you know they're so crooked? When you catch companies like that you need to make an example of them that no one else will follow. When the PM goes to bat for them, that's not a good example. It's disgusting.

Well, she's a California Liberal so there's that. Not sure if the talking to herself and chewing on her dentures is due to her age or a nervous twitch.

I think the success or failure of China depends on whether it can provide the kind of transparency and accountability we demand for our own companies, public and private. As long as Chinese business is an arm of the government and corporate espionage continues, including vast IP theft, western companies and investors should be wary. The other major factor is wages. China’s export driven economy is built on cheap wages, holding back the creation of a big middle class that would provide a strong domestic market for its own goods Japan made the transition in the 70’s and 80’s from being associated with cheap goods to high quality goods and a very well paid labour force. Unlike Russia, which tried to bring political freedom before building a strong economy, China has held off political freedom with this strange form of totalitarian capitalism dressed up in communist symbolism They need to shed all of that crap and create a truly responsive and open democracy. They try to control Hong Kong but it should be the other way around.

I am not an islamophil. I dont like islam, and I like not any other religion (although I am culturally an orthodox (eastern) christian. I simply dont like stupidity . . . Islamic countries are as many other cultures of the world still en retard when comparing them with the western world (and not with the christian world, because the blacks in christian africa are as bad as any muslim there). It is what one expect and can easily comprehend. Except you . . .

The only thing Pelosi appears to have accomplished in her life time is to how to continue to keep looking and acting like a complete azz hole. Trump will never have any problems running circles around that classless fool.

Wrong...FDR did many more things that were far more aggressive and discriminatory...because he could. Backed up by the Supreme Court. Donald Trump is POTUS...get over it.

Yeah, best value is to just pay down the debt rather than cut taxes.

Well that’s old data now. Trump’s deregulation on waterway protections and chemicals, as well as his reversal of federal climate change/green initiatives will have lasting effects. You’d be surprised how much data Environment Canada and other agencies in Canada collect. We have weather satellites too y’know. Yeah it’s smaller scale but still...

I'd support a tax hike if it could be guaranteed to be put toward health, education, infrastructure maintenance and other necessaries in a modern country.

It should be noted here that studies have found that intelligence, and in particular the size of the cerebral cortex, the amount of grey matter, etc, are genetic traits and are highly heritable. Parents with bigger brains will tend to have children with bigger brains. While intelligence is not a perfect predictor of salary, the kind of people earning $150k+ are generally professionals of various types, while those earning less than $25k are... not. I think the question has to be asked here... are the cerebral cortexes of children from poor families smaller because they are poor and receiving substandard education/nutrition, or are they smaller because, on average, their parents also have smaller cerebral cortexes, and the difference is primarily genetic in nature? While it is possible that it's the education/nutrition, I would suspect it is (at least mostly) the genetics. The article only briefly mentions this and then gets back to the standard politically correct narrative.
