@_glorianas Might as well say โif youโre single and live next door to a neighbour with a beautiful wife what do you honestly expect someone to doโ to justify anything in that direction.
Immigration debate will go nowhere until we all come to terms with the fact that massive differences in living standards across the globe are not entirely random or in every case the result of an imposition or injustice, but are the results of varying levels of effort and ability
Yup. This is why ALL governments, liberal or conservative, LOVE immigration.
Keeps the pyramid scheme alive via ever increasing house/asset prices.
Who cares if median Canadian is worse off, aggregate GDP goes up like those elbows.
Canada is run on a pyramid scheme if you don't increase population, pensions and healthcare will fail. The number of working-age people for every senior aged 65 and older dropped from 7.7 in 1966 to 3.4 in 2022, and is projected to fall near 3. Young people now pay more tax's to support a failing system than their predecessors did and doubtful they will even collect a pension when they reach retirement age as Canada's birth rate is dramatically declining and is producing half of what is necessary to sustain Canada's pensions and healthcare costs.
@_glorianas And living standards are different because of magic fairy dust that sprinkles it on some countries but not on others right ?
Has nothing to do with the people, culture, work ethic.
@storylinefever@Adipenguin1 I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the above, but your lack of understanding makes any debate impossible as you continue, despite several corrections, to misconstrue what the fundamental argument is.
@storylinefever@Adipenguin1 A poor barista who pays taxes gets more votes than a boomer who lives in a mansion in Rockliffe Village or The Glebe.
The barista has less income, less wealth, yet more of a stake in Canada's future than someone sitting on assets paying 0 taxes.
@storylinefever@Adipenguin1 "I think only people who drive cars should pay for roads"
"WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO RIDE BICYCLES YOU FASCIST"
This is literally your level of argument.
Keep conflating everything, you're doing great convincing your low IQ followers
@ItsDeanBlundell@neofinancial@tobi Who's dumber, Dean Blundell or Rachel Gilmore?
They both don't understand that wealth, income, and taxes are 3 different numbers.
It's fuckin hilarious for outsiders seeing how retarded Canadian "influencers" are
Fascinating debate on voting entitlements in Canada. Whatโs interesting is that the same folks who decry that the wealthy pay no taxes in Canada are now saying itโs ridiculous that they get all the votes in such a scheme. Pick a lane.
@storylinefever One day, after you finish high school and ideally get a STEM education you will understand the difference between wealth, income, taxes.
You keep conflating the 3 as you clearly don't understand simple concepts.
@storylinefever No, nothing you said is consistent with what he said whatsoever.
The entire point of the conversation is the unproductive wealthy elites who sit on assets and don't pay any taxes, shouldn't have any votes.
Want a vote? Then pay your fair share.

@JohnWilson@RevTonto@JimboStanford Not at all. All the headlines say "shopify CEO says poor people shouldn't vote, only wealthy should"
Which is not what he said whatsoever.
The only people who have an issue with his ideas are the unproductive elite sitting on assets, paying 0 taxes, hence 0 voting power.
