Yes my skepticism does point in one direction.. In both countries the left has screwed up so bad, that people are demanding they step down...Justin is not only the most hated PM, but in a recent poll he is also hated across the globe...that has got to say something...as for trump...i really hope he gets elected, and brings things closer to the center...holding PP to the fire...this time with something more forceful than stern words...

You can take any poll with a grain of salt, of course, but I don't know why you keep talking about 1500 Canadians. There have been quite a few of these surveys, both very recent and back over the years, and they've all told the same story. When you survey thousands of people over multiple polls, from numerous different polling companies, and your margin is 70:30 in favor of Biden, we're not guessing anymore. 15 hours ago, Army Guy said: Sometimes i do, are you saying you've researched every topic you have posted to...be honest...and if you have then kudos, your a much better poster than i am..That and 3 bucks will get you a coffee...

Maybe, but I think you need to pick a lane. You were arguing how popular you figured Trump would be in Canada among Canada's conservatives. Polls show he'd barely get 50% of their votes. You poo-poo the polling showing that, but then happily point to polls showing Trump's popularity in the US, or Trudeau's unpopularity in Canada. Do polls matter, or not?

The main reason that economists opposed the GST reductions is that they believe that, if money was available for tax cuts, it would make more sense to use it to lower income taxes than the GST. This is because the personal income tax is, in theory, a relatively inefficient tax that penalizes savings. http://global-economics.ca/GST_cuts.htm#:~:text=The main reason that economists,inefficient tax that penalizes savings.

I think what made this particular cut particularly bad is that it maintained the status quo - hence more difficult to move towards more rational taxation - some of which prescribes replacing all income taxes with consumption taxes. As for making our economy more rational and equitable, capping annual incomes at $1 million per individual plus a wealth tax on the super-rich (about 100,000 families in Canada's case) would probably yield the most civilized and wealthiest economy in the known universe.

I especially admired the way that he handled himself -- or more appropriately, how he handled Justin Trudeau -- in their parliamentary exchanges. The PM would repeatedly fold like a house of cards...and it could actually painful watching Trudeau lose by default most each and every time. But my initial surge of enthusiasm ebbed rather swiftly as I watched PP's cocky self-assured mis-steps that ensued: his enthusiasm for Bitcoin...his deliberately going out of his way to serve coffee to members of the Freedom Convey...his sudden newly-found arrogance with members of the press...and on and on. The man sure knows no peers as knowing how to grab headlines and make his presence know, alright -- but what will happen when he's elected prime minister of the land, and has nobody to bait and to blame above him...? Te expression of "all sizzle and no steak" immediately comes to mind. Still in all, what choice do we weary Canadians have, otherwise...? Four more years of a Trudeau-Singh oligarchy to suffer under, as parliament merely foregoes the expected, lending additional years of life to that particular "deal with the devil"...? Surely we all deserve better. What will happen when PP becomes the PM of Canada is that he will bring back common sense to Canada. So far, from what i have seen of PP is that he appears to be the only politician in Canada that can save Canada from the WEF globalist Marxist dictator in Ottawa and his communist programs and agendas for Canada. Bills C-11 and C-18 and the new phony censorship hate law being pushed in parliament by the WEF globalist Marxist in Ottawa are three dangerous things mentioned that will bring Canada down and will destroy freedom of speech and rights and freedom in Canada. We cannot let that Marxist buffoon in Ottawa win the next election. The liberals, the NDP socialists, the Greens and the communist party's in Canada are all in for shutting down freedom of speech and rights and assembly in Canada. Canada is pretty close to becoming a communist country. If by chance or by hook and crook that the Marxist in Ottawa does get in again as PM of Canada, it will surely be the end of freedom and rights in Canada. Believe it or not. I certainly do believe it. 😷 Go, Poilevere, go. 😇 Quote
