I'm a young buck myself, 23 years of age and can confirm that women twice my age do not interest me by the little bit, but there are some MILFs that are worth a shot, but I couldn't fall in love with them neither, because the end result of love is the creation of a family unit in my opinion, it's all based around it, with or without children. I could not see myself living with an older woman and waking up and see her without makeup and her looks starting to fade away, starting to lose her hair by 55, etc. I'd rather be with the 20 years old I'm matching on Tinder and Bumble.

What kinds of services do you wish to cut instead of attacking the big government with 30 ministers federally and the same number provincially? Do you know Switzerland only has 6 ministers and have loads more services and their population is more than twice as rich as us?

You do realize there are people who can NOT for obvious reasons pay taxes. They have no asset, they have to stay at home for taking care of loved ones, they are sick, they have reached an age to which they can't work anymore. There are lots of these people in society and I gladly pay my fair share of tax to them and I'm not here to have something in return, except that later in life, when I'll get to a point where I won't be able to work, I would still be able to live decently. And of course the retirees, the sick and handicapped are going to vote for those who will help with their condition. The problem is not the fact that these people don't pay any taxes, is that there are two levels of governments who steal our money like you steal a candy from a baby. The fact that you blame the poor for not taking part of the racket is beyond uncalled for I should say.

I think the name of the party is already registered by Élections Ontario.

Look, you start this thread with the title 'Half of Canada contributes nothing to its tax base', which means your whole argument is going to be about that, and you offered little to no solution in your OP for that regard, so go on.

How is it in GTA?

Do you mean to ask if I live in the 51th state of America, Canada? No, I live in Québec.

These provincial governments get away with being poorly organized because they, at the end, receive at the expense of the hard working workers of the West, a huge amount of money from the Federal govt. And the Federal govt. is in huge debt and deficit right now. Guess 'the budget didn't balance itself' as it should have?

But is it the feeling of the general Ontarian population or did it just slip by and no one noticed? Because in Québec we have 2 major stories from 'Le Journal de Montréal' which is the most read newspaper in Québec, shared 13K and 15k each on Facebook. It really is frightening in Québec, but not in Montréal. In Montréal, it seems that many francophones don't care/shrug off or called Martineau who wrote the stories a racist, a neo-nazi, a fascist. When François Legault was elected, there were hundreds of demonstrators to protest him in Montréal for the fact that he was supposedly a racist according to them... He's clearly not, he never said anything outrageous or provocative at any time. Legault wants to make it impossible to wear religious symbols and to be in a position of authority when working for the government. It would make it impossible for a religious extremist zealot to wear a veil and teach children at school for example. But they think that because we are fighting something called religious oppression which Québec suffered from for dozens of decades with the Catholic Church that we are racists. No, if you are black and you're not a religious extremist in Québec everyone will just welcome you as if you were white. But if you were white and a religious extremist, you would be called out. But since islam is almost considered as a 'religion of colour', it makes it impossible to criticize it or else the debate will revolve with the one criticizing islam to wether he's racist or not which is never the point to begin with.

It's either a government for the people or a state sponsored racket on false premises of virtue signaling like you mention, or in other ways to waste the money.

Poor, poor rich. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/canada-1-per-cent-highest-paid-workers-compare/article36383159/ 'The highest-paid Canadians had the biggest pay raises over the past decade, as the country's economy swung wildly into a deep recession and into a commodities-led boom. '

It's funny how I was asked why I thought the people who weren't paying taxes to the government weren't demanding things. First off, it's the opposite thinking that should be made, it's the government demanding money from citizens... When you have this kind of brain and thinking, you know you're in for a lot more than 40% taxation if these guys were in power.

Not paying taxes in not demanding something, it's simply not agreeing to state sponsored theft when the two govts that I support over my head combine 60 ministers.

I know the thinking schemas of OP. He is right in a way; we have to have a meritocracy and everyone should contribute to society, and in a way to have a meritocracy we have to let the rich have their money and not have them pay for everything. But the thing is, the rich receive a lot too first off and no, they don't pay for everything. And no, not everyone CAN contribute to society, so it does not surprise me a little bit that half the population doesn't pay a penny to the State; THEY HAVE NOTHING and also DEMAND NOTHING. And here I am, paying in the 40% bracket and demanding nothing. And we have people like OP who demand more contributions from the general population. It always means me in the end when someone makes a stupid call to tax all Canadians like that.

And your answer would be for all the Canadians to pay, instead of the government to simply calm down its huge expenditures and cut down the number of ministers. Switzerland has only 6 ministers while in Canada we have two governments having 30+ ministers (one federal, one provincial). You are part of the problem to blame the little Canadians who can't pay a penny to the government. Many don't have anything, no asset whatsoever. And you want them to pay taxes?

Hey, I just registered to this forum. I'm obviously a Quebecer and a francophone with that, but I respect Canadians a lot and my family voted No for the 1995 Referendum. How do Ontarians react to the news of the new Ontarian Islamic Party? In Quebec, there was a big buzz about the news coming from your province, but I would like to know your opinion on that matter. Are Ontarians really that pro multiculturalism or is it a myth?
