CITIZEN_2015

Read my post before responding. I said new laws preventing the flight of capital. We have such laws in many countries.

No I was looking from your point of view. The Christianity. You had no answer to my earlier response. Bible also says we are all God's children. Don't you believe in that? Or you believe in that but are not in the mood to help out your brothers and sisters at the time of need. When your sister is in the cold, homeless and hungry, don't you help her? According to bible if you really believe in it, all humans on the planet are God's children and we must help each other out. Worshipping God is not limited to words you say in a church on Sundays but more so your actions on how you effectively better the lives of others.

Investment will flee the country elsewhere. This is a capitalist fiction to divide and rule. It can be countered. Bringing the laws that they cannot take their capital out oof the country for more than say $10000.

You can only claim this in a fair society where everyone has equal chances of education, wealth and prosperity. When families are so poor that they can't afford to send their children to universities (or to schools in third world countries) or some are wealthy because they were born in a wealthy family then this is an unjust society and the poor should be given equal chances by forcing the luckier people to pay for a more just system.

Not sure what you mean. Imposition of 50% tax rate (combined Federal and Provincial) on incomes over $150,000 and 40% rate on whatever is over $100,000) and 60^ over $200,000. Get the billions and invest them on housing and food banks and health service.

All provinces must tax the top 1% to improve the life for bottom 20%. This is a fair way of living. It will fight poverty, hopelessness, crimes, etc. The reason we have significantly lower crimes rates compared to US is because we have relatively better social programs. But we can do better.

ou have a very naive view of the bible. Bible also says we are all God's children and equal tin God's eyes. Don't brothers and sisters help each other at the time of need in your family? If you believe in Christianity and love of neighbor then you must strongly support the redistribution of wealth to support your neighbors. Worshipping God is not words in the church on Sundays but your actions in life to make it better for God's children. al of them.

The hell to communism. I am advocating a fairer distribution of wealth so that we have less poor people. If you really believe in Christ then you must be concerned about the poor, homeless, hungry and kids living in hazardous conditions in sub-standard housing but your solution is to misrepresent bible by saying that bible supported the wealthy and did not care about the poor by unconditionally supporting free enterprise.

I am not an expert in bible but I do know bible encourages the wealthy help the poor though does not force it. Unfortunately most humans do not give up their wealth voluntarily so we need a government to force them for the better of the majority of population.

Islamic republic now has missiles to hit Europe and Israel. The only way the world can be saved from these barbaric murderous regime is the overthrow of this regime by Iran nation. https://www.timesofisrael.com/iran-unveils-new-paveh-cruise-missile-that-can-reach-israel/

No investors only think about their own interests at the expense of the poor however, democratic righteous governments are after the interests of their citizens. Yes the wealthy with higher taxes should pay for the hungry and the homeless.

Resources are limited on the planet. There is however enough resources for everyone if the top 1% of population don't grab over half the resources to themselves and make the other 50% poor. The West is more prosperous because they don't have Islam or too many religious fanatics to make them miserable and poor. They have social programs in a more just society where most people pay their share to have universal social programs for everyone.

Bible talks about socialism?I didn't know Carl Marx was born at the time that Bible was written!!!!! As I said religious fanatism is a real danger to our society.

Protecting the rich, the landlords, the wealthy at the expense of the poor, creating homelessness and poverty is not the society I wish to see. Housing should be about people not investors. Governments should proyect people not investors.

Religious fanatism is one of the biggest threats to Western democracy especially Islamists not socialism. We are all ready to pay for housing for those who cannot afford. Tax the wealthy and pay the bills. I am not sure how people can sleep comfortably in their luxury warm bedrooms when they know many fellow citizens, children in particular are deprived from the very basics of proper housing which is a human right,

Communism is a hell lot more than government building things. Get educated. In all countries even the most capitalist ones governments are building things. Certain projects like public roads, bridges, certain massive industries (infrastructure as a whole), even public libraries and universities (like State universities in the God of capitalism in the US) are all being built by governments. Why not affordable public housing?

I was suggesting Federal as well as Provincial tax increases for the wealthy (all over Canada).

Moving out of birth country (just because they paid a few thousand more) is not going to happen. Taxes are much higher in Scandinavian countries but I don't see Swedish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian citizens leaving their homeland to other countries. They have a just society much better than Nort America.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? All my life I have been against communism and religious fanatism, however, I do not accept wide gap between citizens that some citizens have so much money living in luxury and some other equal citizens having to live in poverty living in health hazardous conditions with cockroaches running around and the food exposed while kids are in those homes. This is not acceptable. Not in Canada. Tax the rich more (those earning over $100,000) and profitable corporations more and build millions of affordable houses for citizens who can rent at reasonable price. If this is communism , so be it.

People are genuinely suffering from the current rental crisis in Canada. Single mothers with kids are living in sub -standard hazardous moldy small basement apartments with cockroaches all over the kitchen, bath and inside microwaves. People renting beds sleeping next to each other in a shared bedroom with no privacy. Many looking for affordable places to rent which no longer exist or is not affordable anymore. People on social programs or students unable to rent even a single room. One citizen whose job is building homes for other t live as a construction worker is homeless himself and lives in a van. One needs to have a $60,000 annual salary to rent a room in most Canadian cities and 15 million Canadians are below that level of income. And this is one of the richest countries in the world. The governments created this crisis by adopting wrong policies over years. I watched a CBC news coverage entitled Canada's Rental Crisis - Looking for affordable housing and I was disturbed by it to see the conditions our fellow citizens who are the citizens of one of the richest countries in the world live and the pain and sufferings and the hazardous health conditions they have to live under. So sad. Do not watch if you are sensitive. We must not let our governments to get away with this. Their citizens are suffering. We need to put pressure on governments to build significantly more affordable housing especially in hot areas such as Vancouver , Toronto and Southern Ontario. They have to adopt more reasonable immigration numbers till this crisis is dealt with. Bring in new laws to protect tenants and punish landlords for not providing a safe living condition. The existing laws are obviously not going far enough to protect our citizens as shown in the video above.

EU countries if they really believe in Human Rights as they claim and really defend Women's Rights then they MUST break off all diplomatic relations with this murderous blood thirsty regime of mullahs headed by mass murderer Khamenei and kick out their mercenary diplomats back to the hellhole they come from. They must also add the murderous IRGC to terror list. These actions are needed immediately. Europeans, specially those in decision making are in fact becoming participants in mass murder of defenseless nation, hostage taking of a nation, torture and rape in prisons of Islamic Republic if they continue to refuse to break off all diplomatic relations and put IRGC in terror list immediately and continue to negotiate and legitimize this murderous regime and deserve to pay a cost for those actions.

How the Islamic Republic regime used a network of secret torture centers to crush an uprising. https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2023/02/middleeast/iran-torture-jails-black-sites-mahsa-amini-protests-cmd-intl/

Well I am not surprised ruling Liberal falling behind so much. With persistent high inflation, housing crisis when even high incomer can't afford renting an average home and with rising interest rates making buying one out of reach for majority even top high incomers and essentials like food prices going through the ceiling. I am surprised they still get 29% of voters!!!.

The revolution will for sure succeed. The question is WHEN and at WHAT PRICE. I am not leading the revolution but taking part in it by attending demonstrations and encouraging others to support this very first WOMEN-LED REVOLUTION by clarifying the facts and figures as how barbaric and murderous this regime is (appealing to audience or readers' moral standards) and how harmful and dangerous its survival for long will be for every citizen of planet and how rewarding and beneficial its immediate downfall would be for every citizen of the planet and the whole world.

His dynasty (Pahlavi) specially his grandfather, Reza Shah but also his father, the Shahanshah (the Shah) did so much good for Iran. They built Iran from a devastated occupied country into a modern powerful Iran from 1921 to 1979. Iranians lived in a complete social and economic freedom with women enjoying total equality and granted equal rights. Double digit growth in the 70's brought in economic prosperity to most of Iranians. They did however, limit political freedom and there are allegations of widespread torture of political prisoners as the world in those days was a different world. while South and Central America was under military Junta but even widespread dictatorships in Europe like Franko fascism in Spain and Soviet style fascism in Eastern Europe. During his grandfather the entire planet was under dictatorship. Pahlavi dynasty was very progressive for the Iran society at the time when over 90% of population were practicing Muslims which means they were against social freedom (for example Iran of 45 years ago having night clubs, strip bars, women wearing mini skirts on streets,...etc.). Unlike now that less than a third are practicing this backward anti-woman, undemocratic religion but 50 years ago the majority wanted to limit their wives, sisters and daughters' rights and freedom and were against the granted social freedoms. The Shah had no choice but to limit the activities of religious fanatics who wished to turn Iran backwards 1400 years (eventually they did because under pressure from peanut brain Carter he was forced to grant more freedom) and during the cold war era to limit the actions of Marxists some Soviet spies or agents. His son is all above except that he is several generations ahead and wishes a secular social democratic country where people's vote will decide the form of future regime (monarchy or republic or whatever) and if he is elected as a King he just wishes to be a ceremonial head of state without political power. The nation will elect the government where the power lies. He carries great support among Iranians inside and outside Iran as many remember the golden years of his father and grandfather or been told by their parents and grandparents. They are calling his name as the future leader of Iran on streets of Iran while facing armed thugs of Khamenei mercenaries but his support is even stronger among Iranians abroad (10 million Iranians are in exile abroad). He is however too democratic for my choice as he wishes to grant amnesty to all these criminals like the mullahs, the Sepah and Basij thugs who destroyed Iran and murder so many innocent people past 45 years but I want them all hanged so that justice is served.
