  1. You're the only one who's thinking this however, not me.
  2. Bully for you claim away. BTW have the Cowichan told anyone to get out or go back to where they came from yet?
  3. Around $950k according my last BC assessment and the government can take it away anytime it wants.
  4. I'm pretty sure our universal human rights are considered superior because they're inherent to our human dignity rather than granted by a national or provincial law. If push ever comes to shove that's what I'd base my case on. I'm indigenous to Earth with universal human rights, I'm in the same place I've always been and everyone will just have to deal with it. But no one will be kicking me out of my house.
  5. Seriously? He's not like some rulers who have their hands on a nuclear football along with a strange grip on the minds of the sycophantic yes people surrounding them. All Carney has is the CBC...have they been telling you something in French that they're not telling the rest of us?
  6. Prayer and death appear to be strongly associated in this thread. One shouldn't be so quick to turn their back on science as a source of solace. Magic mushrooms sound pretty effective as an alternative to faith. Science shows they actually cause new neural pathways to form in the brain. Terminal patients that eat mushrooms report it greatly reduces the existential anxiety of dying. They feel a greater connection to everything, become more optimistic and experience nothing less than a life and death altering "shift in the lens" regarding their terminal diagnosis.
  7. So, you basically need to get rid of the Charter, go to Buckingham Palace to dissolve Canada and start from scratch to address your concerns. Want to bet First Nations would be 100% behind you?
  8. More of a wistful fan of Valdy's observation that Vancouver Island makes you feel so far away. It goes both ways, these days you can prosper just fine catering to peoples need to escape the 604s concrete bunkers.
  9. Are you suggesting there was a time when conservatives used to be enablers of violent bigotry, misogyny and fascism but they cleaned up their act and progressives decided to act like conservatives?
  10. Utter horseshit. Outside of your noggin it's not an idea at all. What Pichette said is that the Canadian public subsidizes professional degrees from our Universities to the tune of "half a million" dollars. He stated that if graduates choose to leave for high-paying U.S. jobs immediately after finishing, they should "give me back my money" or "pay their half a million". In the meantime in your silly reactionary mind this means Liberals are suggesting everyone who wants to leave Canada has to pay a half a million dollars. You're a loon. OTOH, if you're just craftily, and I use that term loosely, rewording things so they mean something more, you're a loon if you imagine you're fooling anyone.
  11. No, the terms of our being here just need to be properly codified is all. Britain told it's Governors of Canada's provinces to do this but they didn't so here we are grappling with it now. Remember what your religion says about render under Caesar yadda yadda? This is just another one of those times when plebes like you are expected to just...submit and suck it up.
  12. I think the notion that everyone who wants to leave Canada has to pay a half a million dollars is utter nonsense but typical of the very peculiar way your mind processes information. Good, that means more for the rest of us. It has dick to do with Liberals, I was advocating shrinking our population and economy and applying exit taxes years and years ago. Leave half a million you said, ridiculously. I'm sure some are leaving with a lot more and a lot less.
  13. Me too. Do you have any idea what it costs to get yourself there to hunt, fish, kayak etc etc? In the meantime, with certainty now established the Nuchatlaht will be able to form partnerships with investors with even deeper pockets to develop the sorts of resorts and such that cater to people who want to go fish and hunt there. If it's anything like destination resorts in places like Tofino it costs a family of 4 around a thousand dollars a day, and certainly more when you fly in or use a boat.
  14. Not that, no. But from a bioregional perspective less decentralization and more area-based management would be a good thing for Canadians anywhere they live. In my case when people ask why I wear a Vancouver Island Liberation Organization tee shirt I point at some old abandoned fishboat or fish-plant on a beach and then east towards Ottawa and remind them DFO is headquartered 3500 miles away. Its 1500 miles east to the next ocean where you'll much the same thing. Quaint little drinking villages with a fishing problem. You can find them all over the world actually.
  15. They're perfectly free to leave. Meanwhile... AI says... Key Countries with Exit Tax Regimes These taxes are typically triggered when you permanently move your tax residency or renounce your citizenship. North America: United States: Applies a "mark-to-market" exit tax on "covered expatriates" (high-net-worth individuals) who renounce citizenship or long-term green cards. Canada: Imposes a "departure tax" that treats most assets as sold at fair market value the day before you leave. Europe: Many EU/EEA nations have robust systems, including Norway, France, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Austria, Finland, Netherlands, and Sweden. Norway and Denmark are noted for particularly strict rules or low thresholds. Oceania & Africa: Australia: Operates a "deemed disposal" rule where assets are treated as sold when residency ends. South Africa: Applies an "emigration tax" on worldwide assets upon the cessation of tax residency. Asia: Japan: Introduced an exit tax in 2015 targeting residents with substantial financial assets.
  16. Hah...You can take the boy out of Toronto but you can't take Toronto out of the boy.
  17. You had Other as an option. Maybe you were expecting disgusting animals or degenerates under that heading. Are you with ICE by any chance, the Proud Boys, or are you just a wannabe sorta...thing?
  18. Just one that seems to make you squeamish. I bet you can't even tell the difference between a man and a woman.
  19. You're suggesting they're not human beings?
