The most important lesson of this pandemic is that conservatives should never be in charge of anything ever again.

Hi folks. It's been a long time. I have been off this platform for many reasons. It's pretty toxic around here sometimes and I needed a long extended break. It was nice. I probably won't stay for long.

But let's talk about Family Medicine in #Alberta 👇

@RonFilipkowski Did you mean Jimmy Conway?

So yes, taxes eat up more of your income. People like @PierrePoilievre would like you to stop thinking at this point, and get angry at big government.

But in reality Canadians have twice the discretionary income as their grandparents, to spend on whatever they want.

This garbage drives me crazy.

You have to be a gullible idiot to be outraged by looking at only the tax part of the equation, or a conservative. But I repeat myself.

Looking at the whole picture, life in Canada is actually much more affordable now than in 1961.

The average Canadian family paid more in 2023 on taxes than it did on housing, food and clothing combined
CALGARY—The average Canadian family spent 43.0 per cent of its income on taxes in 2023—more than housing, food and clothing costs combined, finds a new study published by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.
“Taxes remain the largest household expense for families in Canada,” said Jake Fuss, director of Fiscal Studies at the Fraser Institute and co-author ofTaxes versus the Necessities of Life: The Canadian Consumer Tax Index 2024 Edition.
In 2023, the average Canadian family earned an income of $109,235 and paid in total taxes equaling $46,988.
In other words, the average Canadian family spent 43.0 per cent of its income on taxes compared to 35.6 per cent on basic necessities.
This is a dramatic shift since 1961 when the average Canadian family spent much less of its income on taxes (33.5 per cent) than the basic necessities (56.5 per cent). Taxes have grown much more rapidly than any other single expenditure for the average Canadian family.
The total tax bill for Canadians includes visible and hidden taxes (paid to the federal, provincial and local governments) including income, payroll, sales, property, carbon, health, fuel and alcohol taxes.
Moreover, since 1961, the average Canadian family’s total tax bill has increased nominally by 2,705 per cent, dwarfing increases in annual housing costs (2,006 per cent), clothing (478 per cent) and food (901 per cent).
“Considering the sheer amount of income that goes towards taxes in this country, Canadians may question whether or not we’re getting good value for our money,” Fuss said.

[Nick Morra @nickmorra]

After paying for the necessities of life, average Canadians have more than double the discretionary income in their pockets now compared to 63 years ago (10% to 21.4%). That's a lot more fun stuff.

Occam's razor – The simplest explanation is most likely true

Hanlon's razor – Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

Kenney's razor – Why choose between malice and stupidity when we can have both?

Cool that Canada is jumping on the #Oilers bandwagon: they're fun to watch, bring the cup home, etc.
