BC is only 5% on $30,000, Alberta is 10%, Quebec is 15% Ontario & BC are the least taxed provinces, we're paying half what most of the provinces pay and a third of what Quebec pays. BC has had reasonable growth with high carbon taxes as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reconciliation brought high-speed fibre-optic internet and water improvements to our region that's benefited everyone and I can think of 5 emission-free run-of-river hydro power plants in Tla-o-qui-aht Ha-Hoothlee with more in the works that supply power to everyone while generating a virtually endless revenue stream to the region. Plus we have some $80 million in hwy improvements underway. Sux to be you in whatever hopeless wasteland you're from and that's coming from a guy who lives in the blast radius of a reconciliation zone - within a km of ground zero in fact. I still recall it was a calm sunny day, everything seemed to go quiet and then...a dog barked but that was about all I remember. My kids were all born with 5 toes and fingers one is making more than their old man and the others aren't far behind. The grandkids are all fine too. Nobody's house is on fire so perhaps you're just looking at the world thru a flaming hairdo. At least you’re being specific. BC does have a big hydro power supply that has made certain green energy like hydrogen workable, but it’s a very service-based economy now, not especially diverse. It does benefit from a lot of outside money flooding the region, which has the serious downside of driving up home prices.

It's always something right, nobody said it would always be unicorns, rainbows and gumdrops. But the very last effing thing anyone needs are scoops, ditches full of people, fumigated lefties, cops crackin' down and gettin' tough and above all else an unhinged outraged right-wing that thinks its outrage is all it takes to get its way. The downside of that is that NOTHING will get developed because we'll be to busy fighting one another. That said I fully expect conservatives will give it their best shot so...who knows maybe they'll drag house prices down along with everything else. There's your silver lining I guess.

It props up the huge sparsely populated north. No doubt some provinces would keep more money without Canada in the short term, but they would lack the economy of scale to do certain things. The northern 80% of the provinces, the territories, and the have not provinces would be shit out of luck. It’s a big risky bet against a winning formula. I would just simplify government, especially federally. Edited March 3, 2020 by Zeitgeist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) I mean, forget warships, Canada doesn't fight anybody on its own behalf, but Canada can't even run the civilian side of things. Because America has declared the Northwest Passage to be International Waters, merchant vessels are sailing there with impunity And Canada can't even build one icebreaker to patrol, even for pork barreling purposes. Seaspan can't even build one, they can't build anything bigger than a trawler. One icebreaker, not even nuclear Polar Class 1, just a regular old Polar Class 2, Canada is pathetically failing to build even one.

Yes we need a stronger military. You’re the one saying we should scrap it. Make up your mind. We’ve had the strong military in the distant past. This country is focused on other priorities.

Well Canada is poised to outgrow many countries and will have a larger economy than Italy. Canada is the future, including trying to make a go of the UN, the Paris Accord, Reconciliation, bailing out the have-nots, and all the other expenses we choose to carry as Canadians. I resent them, yet I have to admit that we take better care of our citizens and provide a safer and probably freer country than south of the border or just about anywhere. Most countries would be grateful to have our problems, though the problems are real. As I get older I’m learning the value of appreciation, and there is much to appreciate here.

taxme Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 On 3/1/2020 at 4:16 PM, ProudConservative said: Have we seen enough? I certainly have. I'm Hopeing to see patriots boycott Tyendinaga, in retaliation for the blockaid, and throwing rocks at the our trains. Apparently there were police on the other side of the tracks, and a train is coming, and all they do is just stand there and let those commie protesters put debris on the tracks. That is clearly an offence against the Railway Act of Canada which can put someone putting anything on the tracks in jail for a very long time. The police should not be standing there waiting for orders from their politically correct bosses and politicians when a crime is being committed right in front of them. If you or me were to break a law in front of a police officer we would be arrested immediately. Putting debris on the tracks for a train to run over is against the law, period. Or is the new rule of the day now that no arrests will be made until a police officer gets the go ahead to arrest that person from their boss first? It would appear that anarchy and the breaking of the law is now quite acceptable in Canada and does now appear to be the new game plan in this fast becoming a lawless terrorist third world looking country. Thanks Toronto. Thanks Maritimes. Thanks BC. You went and put that buffoon back in power again. You are the reason why this country is going to hell and fast becoming more lawless by the day. You have allowed special minority interest groups of morons to now run and rule this country. No one can blame the conservatives for this anarchy and chaos although there are probably some in the fake bought off Canadian media out there who would like to somehow blame or wish that they could blame the conservatives for all of this terrorism. But not this time. Your liberalism is the reason why we have this country headed for disaster and doom. Canada has no real and true leaders anymore. Just wimpy, politically correct ones. Pretty dam sad, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
