Capital Gains Tax vs Income Tax
Aristides replied to August1991's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
When politicians talk about "paying their fair share" they mean someone other than their intended audience. -
Why so many MPs based on our population?
Aristides replied to exPS's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
This argument applies just as much to Australia, most of the country is sparsely populated with the bulk of the population in the south eastern part of the country. I don't think there is any doubt we are top heavy when it comes to government. We have more senators than the US with over eight times our population. -
Putin denied he was going to invade. Giving Ukraine weapons beforehand would have just been used as a provocation to invade. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/12/russia-kremlin-ukraine-nato-threats-521031 Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban to leave Afghanistan. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51692546 Your 20/20 revisionist hindsight is impressive.

So you are arguing that politics doesn’t affect political decisions? The usual actors are accusing Biden of being a war monger just because he supports Ukraine’s fight for its own sovereignty. It wasn’t Biden who held up the aid bill to provide Ukraine with more support. Why do you think Biden could have stopped the invasion?

The point is, the planet can't support 8 billion people living a western standard of living and you can't stop people from trying to achieve it. I'm not complaining, just recognizing reality. You think people like Gates are the enemy because they are trying to figure out ways we can improve the lot of everyone without destroying our home. You are fools because the future will get you whether you like it or not.

One thing MAGA's do excel at, personal insults. Guess they find them a substitute for substance. -

MAGA is lead by the biggest whiner and b*tcher of them all. The ultimate victim. -
Again, they provide not evidence to the contrary, they don't provide sources, they just disagree. If the Arctic isn't warming, why is the sea ice disappearing and why are Arctic glaciers melting at an unprecedented rate? https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/?intent=121 https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ https://www.livescience.com/greenland-glacier-melt-model
