I don't think he meant that they were paying at a rate of 90% but that the majority of all income taxes come from the higher income earners. Sorry, didn't read the other posts first

70k a year by today standards isn't rich, it sure wouldn't buy a house.

Divide and conquer. Trudeau doesn't care about Canada, he only cares about elevating himself to the U.N. - and his socks. I don't believe he's evading taxes, he's avoiding them, just as small business people are doing, heck, doctors incorporated after their earnings were capped, can you blame them? I don't blame anyone for doing what they can to legally to cut back on taxes, but it's hardly right or fair for a PM to pick on small business owners calling them 'cheats' when he's doing something similar himself while keeping the tax loopholes open that he uses. The point isn't that he's doing something illegal, it's that he's so hypocritical - did you know that he had 3 registered businesses (one now defunct for his speaking engagements) - there's only one reason for that,to use loopholes to save taxes. No more QP tho because Trudeau is swanning off again to the U.N. maybe he'll show up for Question Period one of these weeks.

I don't know how other MPs handle their finances but that's not the point. The PM is calling small businesses tax cheats while at the same time enjoying loopholes for the rich, therefore avoiding taxes he wants other people to pay, many with lesser income. It's about Trudeau and Morneau standing behind their privileges while trying to remove them from others as PM Trudeau receives dividend payments from a private corporation as part of his family fortune, yet, it turns out that Trudeau has admitted he will not be impacted by the tax hikes he’s bringing in. So, it seems his corporations and others among his 1 %er friends, are exempt from the increases he’s imposing on others. It's about hypocrisy and not being the open transparent gov't he promised, and, some big fish are allready moving their money out of Canada. Meanwhile, back at the trough, Top Trudeau aides Butts, and Telford managed to expense over $200,000 for moving homes - what was that again about the Senate !

Trudeau owns numbered companies so he appears to be very happy to to use private corporations to shield him from taxes.

If we were nuked or there was a war I wouldn't want to live anyway, no way to live.

He wasn't charged with anything, it was just a mistake on the sign due to repairs. https://www.sootoday.com/local-news/no-this-blind-river-gas-station-was-not-charging-1876-yesterday-708395

My thoughts too, sock puppets from another board causing trouble.

Just looked at his profile, it says suspended... maybe he'll be back...

I'm thinking of risking a warning point, or worse and giving him a graphic of a finger - or worse :)-

When the whole post is in a large blue font and he believes it's okay to beat your wife

Wrong quote, I meant the one about the turban, eyeball said it. I call utter b.s. on you too...

I didn't say that... other than that your posts are b.s. too

Not up close and personal but we have a family in the park pond, see lots of them in the preserves and other areas. There are also those pygmy snakes, nasty critters.

When we leave our mobile in Florida in April, we have to drain the toilet then cover it with saran wrap in order to keep out snakes and so on. It has happened that they come up through the pipes... (speaking of the mobile, crossing our fingers and hoping it will still be there by next week)

I beg to differ. They don't like it because it ends up being discriminatory and unfair to others, as in allowing Islamic prayers and female subservience/bigotry in schools. Since when do we accept that women should be treated as second class citizens and sent to the back of the 'bus'. Since when is it fair to force Christian bakers to accommodate gay requests for cakes and so on, but okay to allow Muslim to refuse to handle/sell us pork in a supermarket. Accommodation is an issue because it goes too far as religious tolerance becomes a one way street.

I agree with that but you forgot to mention the people who have left here for another forum on which they trash CA and others citing moderation as the reason for leaving... Some of these people have made it clear they are just coming back to MLW to make trouble. We've seen that allready, and how this forum is no longer what it used to be. Sad but true. BTW, was it ever announced that you and Kimmy are no longer moderators?

The girl is a minor, her picture should not have been posted even if it was their own community newspaper. Seems to me that CBC is just stirring the racial pot. http://www.cbc.ca/news/indigenous/community-newspaper-article-head-lice-indigenous-girl-1.4281382

I've seen lots from the left wing nitwits saying it was 'karma'

I would freak if I ran into one, we see grass snakes up north now and then and other types in Florida... That family was darned lucky it didn't get into the house.

I don't consider it racist but it was wrong posting the picture of a girl (or a boy), you know they will be harassed and demeaned.
