Life really comes at you fast. One day I was a leftist because I was into organic food and not taking pharmaceuticals and now I’m a far-right extremist for being into those exact same things
A genuine set of questions for @MarkJCarney and @PierrePoilievre: What is the limit of the extent to which the government can confiscate our hard-earned money? Our income is taxed provincially and federally at one of the highest rates in the world. We then pay sales tax on what we spend both provincially and federally. We also pay property tax, school tax, exit tax, and endless other forms of taxation. The taxation oversight and burden is simply astounding. And yet we know that countless people in the political class find ways to avoid paying taxes. Is a human being a free individual if 50%-70% of their earnings are taxed? What are the philosophical and moral principles that animate your right to steal our financial future, our peace of mind, and the fruits of our labor to such an extent? Every time that I work hard to be a productive member of society (in my case by being a professor and author), I end up at the same financial place (if not worse) because my taxation burden keeps increasing. I can't escape Canada's taxation system even when most of my income comes from outside of the country. Is there no sense of shame? When does it become too much in terms of what you take from your most productive citizens? I am being fully transparent here: There is nothing that has traumatized me more in my life than the taxation that I face, and I faced the Lebanese civil war.
@kylekemper@MarkCarneyMedia@althiaraj Oh Mr. Carney won't be haunted by those questions... cause he hand picks his media questions! And Canadains are gobbling up his lies... Not much hope up here currently.
