You are the one who said Quebec should be unilingual French, why should English Canada maintain French if you don't want to maintain English? Seems hypocritical. French has been banned in which public schools? Not in Ontario, we got tons of French immersion schools here and tons of French classes that are mandated and most students hate to take because it is useless for 99% of them. If Quebec leaves Canada, ain't no way in hell we are going to keep French as an official language in the ROC, especially Ontario, can't speak for NB as they have a large 30% french minority, I'm not sure how realistic it is. However there is just no reason to keep French as an official language for 500,000 Franco-ontarians who are almost all bilingual. Ontario bilingualism is done simply to appease quebec. Why can't french parents send their kids to french schools?

What needs to happen is a way for individuals to give money directly to Haitian individuals without a middle man. The middle man just steals the money. Only if there was some way to just distribute the money directly to people like writing cheques to individual Haitians in disaster affected zones of moderate sums, would be far more useful than how we give aid now. Ie. so if $2 billion is raised for Haiti or to be given to Haiti and 5 million Haitians who need aid, some way to just give $400 per person, would be far more effective than anything we have now.

18% of the bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, but 82% of them were kept. Given that Bush just ruined the economy, raising taxes in a large amount was viewed as a bad idea in general. Obama inherited large deficits and a failing crisis economy spinning out of control, to reduce the deficit, would require increased taxes on failing businesses in a major financial crisis.

The province had ilegally imposed contracts on teachers anyways and they lost in court and now the union is putting together there new demands. The province has unlimited money for bailing out rich and for giving money to scandals, it is about time they pay up to teachers.

The experts I spoken too on the topic of addictions including my relatives who are doctors in the area.

Because all citizens have to at some point deal with official functions! How many French are in those places you named? Very few. Montreal has a long time English population who is sizeable. I mean if the population was very tiny, then I could see the argument for having just French. then of course there are also people who want to move to quebec to do business as well. It certainly would not be good to have all your laws and programs stated in French. Don't you think it is important for English tourist and visitors and children in quebec have some ability to understand the laws of your province?

Untrue, in Ontario there are entire francophone cities and communities and on top of that French are entitled to French services in dealing with government. If French is only official language of quebec it will exclude anglos who speak no french from official functions. Which is bad idea.

When he first announced it he said fire 100,000. He got instant backlashed and back tracked and then claimed he'd do it through attrition, but no one trusted him by that point so cat was out the bag. And how are you going to cut a job without firing someone, cutting a job means firing the person. Hudak blew the election, liberals did not win it. I don't have a problem with well paid teachers, I am not a teacher hater nor do I have educator hatred, if you want good education, you will have to pay for it, Ontario has some of the best public schools on the planet. Its not #1, but it is the top 10-15 world wide. Most people don't even bother with private schools here, although tutors are prevalent among the rich. I went to a public catholic school that had infrastructure and teachers that match or surpass the private sector, and my nephew goes to a $50,000 a year private school in Ontario. Take away education from Ontario, and we basically become a larger version of the maritimes or a west virignia like crap hole without the coal.

The dems made the good economy from when they had a majority in house, senate and controlled the white house back in 2009-2011, you know when they fixed the economy from the bush crisis and when they passed obamacare. No it is not just the business cycle. Bush, Reagan, Bush sr, Nixon, Great depression, didn't all just happen to have bad economies due to cycles, their bad econonmic policies lead to their corresponding crisises. Gore lost because Clinton was immoral and he was boring. McCain lost because the economy was wrecked. Bush lost because the economy was wrecked. Carter won because the economy was wrecked he lost because Reagan was charming, The republicans always ruin the economy, it is their hall mark.

Most other countries have the same deduction. And ask how much money do you put into your property before you get this capital gain. Other countries permits similar behaviour but you get to deduct all the cost of maintaining. And no, it is not the exact thing. In the USA, if you pay a guy to mow your lawn, it is a TAX DEDUCTION, if you pay someone to maintain your property, these are TAX deduction, every repair. In Canada, these generally are not deductions for individuals. In Canada, your mortgage interest is not a tax deduction! I am not ignoring one, I am pointing out to you they have additionaly tax benefits. " The way that mortgages are treated in the Canadian tax code is slightly different than in the U.S. One main difference is that the interest on a mortgage for a principal private residence in Canada is not tax deductible. However, no taxes are payable on any capital gains upon selling the home. " Investopedia, hope that clears things up for you. You are looking just at the total federal rate, which is illogical because many states have little to no income taxes at ALL. Canada has a variety of taxes that the usa does not, provincial, sales, federal and provincial sales. USA has no federal sales tax! When you factor in all the taxes, Canada is #2 in the world.

The economy will do well under trump for the first 2 years because he will inherit the democrats good economy, then he will destroy it like republicans have always done since they created the great depression the last time they controlled all levers of national government. Bye bye america, can't wait to buy properties in manhattan for $1 like detroit.

He basically said he was going to create millions of jobs, then announced he would fire 100,000 civil servants. Given the plan to have increased immigrants (most of who aim to come to Ontario, Bc and Quebec) up to 300k. Does it make sense that a province adding 200k-150k people a year is going to cut doctors, nurses, teachers, court staff, and government staff on the provincial level where all the services for newcomers come from? At best he'd destroy the province. He also lacked charisma and wynne seemed more friendly and outgoing. It is hard to vote for a guy who you don't know if he will cut your job and leave you homeless in the streets. You go to school for 8 years to be a doctor, and now hudak leaves you homeless and unable to repay your debt. INCOMPETENT. Ontario can only grow out of its failed economy. you cannot cut your way out, firing public workers like fire and police etc. will just deepen the crisis because you'll have less tax paying people. You need to lower energy cost, stay away from carbon plan, and finance a large tech industry here to fuel the economy.

It is true that Wynne has ruined Ontario, and it is also true that the conservatives were so abominable selling off public assets like highways and hydro they in a manner have created this crisis of energy. I just see no viable alternative. The conservatives will have no solutions because they made this crisis, the liberals are thieves and corrupt and the ndp has no chance of winning because the leader is boring.

You have to use the cra website and foreign jurisdiction, but since I've lived in both Norway and Ontario, I can look on my own tax returns. Canada also has far less deductions than most other countries, in the USA all kinds of things from interest on mortgage and other expenditures like property upkeep are tax deductions for many people, not true in canada for individuals.

Watch Clinton cash. And if she did not steal the money, why are all those Haitians protesting her? They were not even allowed to show haiti on tv during the crisis because people were all holding up signs saying clinton where is the cash. And it is foolish to call me a donald trump supporter when I said he was a buffoon who will fail and is going to get impeached for corruption.

Your source is wrong. It only counted Canadian federal tax rates, and completely ignored that Canadians have provincial tax rates, sales taxes that many of the countries on your list do not have, both federal and provincial sales taxes and a series of hidden labor taxes that are levied by the government to cpp and ei etc. When all taxes are accounted for, you will see Canadians are #2 in the world for paying taxes, and carbon taxes and global adjustment is on the way for those in ontario. We are going to be most taxed on the planet. There is no reason we should have road tolls.

Exactly, I hope council blocks him.

What other countries? Franceand netherlands where they have been treating muslims as open 2nd class citizens? Sorry it is their own fault for terrorism. They treat people like subhumans and drop bombs on their country and then expect to not get bombed back?

Yeah, the trend is towards federalism in Canada. Canada's underlying dynamics are the vastly different from the states. One question I wonder, is how is it people in economic equal states like the dakotas, montana, idaho etc afford healthcare compared to saskatchewan, manitoba and Alberta which basically pushed the who universal healthcare whereas their southern neighbours were really against. The whole state's right thing is about some southern states wanting to hang onto slavery and other states wanting to hang on to oppressing people.

The problem is the pc party is so bad, they aren't worthy of a vote. I wish there was a 3rd party who was realistic to vote for. Wynne will win because ONtario is so heavily dependent on government employers, teachers, police, city workers, courts, etc. And they all have fmailies who vote.

This. Have you seen what the Clinton Foundation did with the hundreds of millions it raised "for Haiti" Not a dime went to a Haitian. In fact it was so bad that Haitians would protest Hilary whenever she went to Florida and the MSM had to hide it. She would get protested anywhere in Florida, the Haitians were talking about how she took the money and how they showed photos of the area she took money and told donors she was building houses were still empty fields. In fact some news organization went down there and no one down there ever seen any aid or aid money. Most of the aid money to Haiti goes to WESTERNERS! who work in the aid organizations like the red cross multi-millionaire ceos who siphon of hundreds of millions of the billions they collect into their offshore bank accounts.The only thing Haiti ever got from the West was when the UN gave them Cholera. The Alex Jones show even went down to Haiti and they were showing how people were dying in the streets, starving and the UN trucks full of rice and food would not even stop to help anyone or give them anything! Westerners are paid to literally drive trucks in circles and do nothing.

I disagree, we must lead by example, our loving christian open ways and acceptance of all cultures will cause bad people to change their views and minds when they come here. It is easy to say hate the infidels until the infidel is your friend.

No one wil address the elephant in the room. Canada has among the highest tax rates in the world, higher than most Scandinavian countries but has services of a middle income nation at best. This is because Canada has rampant government corruption. If all the money gone on gas plants, e health, hydro scandal this scandal and that was put into the country, we wouldn't need 60% tax rate.

Europe has a long history of ethno-nationalism. Some of these countries have fought wars very recently over ethnicity and land. I do not believe Canadians are nationalistic in that manner and there is a general view that Canada has no culture. Canada is made up of a series of different cultures, the Anglos and Francos don't even get along enough to figure out which immigrant group to hate most and "deport". I think Europeans are nationalistic in a way Canadians just are not. Canada is a very large country, if you don't like refugees or immigrants, move out of the top 10-15 cities, it is 95% white, 1%african canadians and the rest are natives on reserves. The other factor that comes to my mind is that crime is mostly done by whites in Canada, largely and overwhelmingly, so the crime scapegoat wouldn't work here either. Also most Canadians do not have or believe in Christian values, and I went to a Catholic school, they are basically secular. Plus a english speaking catholic refugee priest from Nigeria, probably has alot more in common with most English speaking Canadians who are christian than secular people living hundreds of miles away in Canada speaking different languages.

If Trudeau goes through with his retarded plan he will be a 1 term prime minister. Energy is already unaffordable in Ontario thanks to Wynne's crazy policies with global adjustment fees. If it were any higher, I believe there will be a large business exodus and people exodus and voter exodus from the liberal party.
