A BIT?!

As we get closer to June 7th, thought I'd start a thread tracking polls to consolidate. https://globalnews.ca/news/4236201/ontario-election-poll-ndp-soften-pc-lead/

I have no issues with helping those who want to succeed (education etc). I have issues wasting money for social leeches.

? My own 250K+ a year job started because the government funded my intern salary. Now they're making a killing off of me from a taxes perspective. I see no problem there.

Amazon barely makes ANY profit, so why are you going on and on about taxes? You do know how taxation works, right?

Most internships are funded by the federal government.

I can't wait for Ontario to bankrupt themselves while I laugh and watch from far away. Show the entitled folks what happens when they run out of other people's money.

So you'd rather those people not have jobs and/or benefits? Your logic is illogical to me.

http://www.onpulse.ca/blog/ndp-leads-by-4-as-final-debate-looms Well fuck this. I'm glad I'm moving out of Canada this week!

The OP is presuming the environment/air is owned by any organization when in fact there is no jurisdiction on that particular resource. Until then, there is no way to sue something that no one owns.

Doesn't seem that any major news publication has written who was the clear victor. Anybody have anything? Polls, perhaps?

I think we can all collectively agree that it would make all of us chant in union "jail them all!!" :D

And then there's this. 35 cents/liter on gasoline. FFS, at least it punishes everyone equally.

You've conveniently left out the fact that the population in the US is 10 times as big as in Canada which adds further alarm to your post. Also, if Canada goes bankrupt tomorrow (let alone Ontario), no one will care and the world will continue trucking on just fine. The US is (as much as it pains me to say this) too big to fail, and if it does, than the entire world enters a recession, so we're all ducked.

The fact that you have framed that NDP candidate as someone that is only just not being politically correct means that it's pointless for me to continue a discussion with you. There's not much more heinous things you can say in life, let alone being a candidate for public service as one that degrades our military that badly and uses memes with Hitler in them.

I disagree in some ways, but it sure beats Ontario which is already heavily in debt and it appears the voters are deciding that it's quite alright. Trump hasn't caused WW3, but in the meantime I chose to live in the 'now', which is to minimize my taxes and maximize my income.

I'll just comment on my own situation here as a member of the 2% income group, and I'm not even 30 yet. From Ontario here: In early 2018, I declined a job in Canada that would pay me more not because I had to pay more taxes, but because the income increase after taxes (while would be higher of course) is not worth the grief of potentially taking a job I wouldn't love as much. The difference to the Ontario coffers would be less than a rounding error due to the size of the revenue gained from taxes, but to me it was actually quite a hefty sum of money, but still it was worth it for me to turn that job down. The other thing in 2018 that I decided to do was to pull out all of my Canadian investments and simply put all of my money in the US market. This has bode very very well for me. While I am remaining at my present employer, I will also be moving to a new job in the US in a week or so. Why? More money, significantly less taxes (no state income tax as well), and better healthcare (again, this is for me, and not representative of Americans in general, as we know) Of course, both of the above are completely insignificant because it's n=1, but just thought I'd share. Bye Canada. I know no one will miss me, but I can finally tell those on the left that say "if you don't like it, leave". Well then, ok, bye!

Oops posted in wrong thread. deleted

She's whoring out Ontario's future to pay for things today. Your folks constant preach about PC is precisely why society has gone to shit. Take a look at Peterson's comments in the latest PC Munk debate. You folks instantly jump to beliefs I'm referring to a single mom as a whore, when you don't take into any account that maybe there's more to the picture here, or ask "why did you call her a whore?" FFS. And no, I'm not a Ford supporter, in fact I despise Ford and I had SERIOUS problems when he won the PC nomination.

What you call fear I call reality.

Then....when?

Personal attack much?

Will it really take an attack on our home soil to wake us up?

The tax cuts occurred prior to the 2008 meltdown. People didn't know.

Idiotic tax cuts. Really? Really? The word idiotic should never be next to the words tax and cut.
