I interpret the luxury tax as payable by individuals who own a plane or a boat and use them entirely for pleasure, not a business.

Excuse me, but having someone live in the wilderness where the only means of transportation is an airplane does not sit well with me.  You have a situation where thousands of wildlife and humans get disturbed and hundreds of liters of fuel are burned for one individual's extravagant desires.  I secretly hope people who do that either crash one day or become grizzly food.

You've come to Canada, planted your ass on the north-west coast, and expect to limit/dictate/bully everyone who disagrees with your NIMBY ideas.  

Sorry pal, you're the freak . . . wishing people to die in a plane crash or end up in G-bear sh!t.  Get a grip on yourself.

Of course.  It is bull***, but we can think of it as nothing more than an addition to the present income tax.  So why not make it such that the rich people with the luxury items who burn fossil fuels like crazy and fill up the landfills with plastic pay more and more and more?

Do you think of yourself as a 'landed Communist' . . . ?

So says you . . . . 

Just in case you haven't noticed . . . . boats/barges are used to get logs from the Skeena/Nass/etc. down to the markets in the lower mainland.

And yet, Canada is begging for covid vaccines from other nations, including the U.S. and India, because it did not develop, test, or manufacture covid vaccine domestically, or maintain the capability to do so.   Economics 101.

'Is Canada becoming a Communist  state?'

It's all a matter of degree . . . . yes, we're heading down the control road. Communists abhor the word 'communism' when they seep into mainstream media, when they contaminate a productive company, when they subtly smear initiative, enthusiasm, and the 'self-starters' that  built this country. 

Mix in the 'verbal victims' of everything from racism, perceived racism, future racism, pretend racism, bad breath, and a build-up of empty beer cans.  Everybody is a victim. All tools of the closet communist.  

Country's fucked-up.

They are not very "renewable" if they are over-exploited and poorly managed. 

And you rightwing knobs need to consider that forest management has to properly take into account the fact that the overall climate is warming along with rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Add in more and more people moving in to rural forested areas where they have greater impact on wildlife...whether they are hunters or not. That's what has happened in much of Ontario. Until 40 or 50 years ago, there weren't enough people living in wilderness areas to have an impact. And from the 80's on, attempts to stop the urban spread are resisted by money -- BIG MONEY. So, if you worship Capitalism, this is your god at work!

The net result means a drying out of most forests from longer droughts, and more and more pine beetles moving north as winters become shorter and warmer....eating trees from the inside out. By the time foresters notice a pine beetle infestation, trees are already dead inside and just waiting to fall over....unless a forest fire makes a mad rush through all the dead, dried out timber and a lot of people who thought it would be fun to live in the woods end up running for their lives back to the nearest city!

 

You stick to your 'Ontario Forestry Truths' and I'll refer to my 4+ decades of hands on BC Forestry Facts.

You sound like you're repeating something from a pamphlet . . .

You're late!  It's the everyone-who has any wood products is the same as a clear-cutter argument. Even if most of us would rather pay more and go sparingly than be deluged with the cheapest crap available. 

It's a simple distinction between taking what we need from nature and indiscriminate exploitation of forests and natural wetlands. Which we are getting an overdose of here in Ontario, as if Libs aren't bad enough, our fat, gluttonous Conservative Premier and his advisers have keyed in on "development" as the only means to even make a theoretical case that Ontario will be able to pay back its ever-growing deficit spending --- so give every real estate and commercial developer a blank cheque to build whatever they want wherever they want to, and assume Mother Nature will somehow fix this mess (without finding new ways to kill us all).

Yeah, I figured you were from Ontario.  Your forest industry is a joke.  Hopefully you can grasp  the fact that forests are a renew-able resource. That's what we do in BC. Supply the 'better than thou'  housing industry in places like yours.

Andrew Scheer got more votes.  Your boy Trudeau is anything but 'center' . . . . and he doesn't enjoy massive support.  Trudeau is an embarrassment to Canada.  He owes Canada an apology.
