@don_cummin99880 If your brother pays 1/4 of the tax he makes way less. US tax rates are comparable to Canada. Even accounting for their “no income tax” states, the average American pays 5% less in taxes than the average Canadian.
@Concern70732755 The USA buys things from Canada.
Trump can feel free to stop “funding” us. And we will stop sending oil, electricity, lumber, potash, etc. because that’s how commerce works.
If you want products, you pay for them.
@DDoblio@brianlilley 20 years ago this would have been a segment on 22 minutes or Just of Laughs gags. And no one would have framed it as “news gone astray”. Because we weren’t a bunch of partisanship deranged morons.
@w_terrence Counter point: bill clinton visited Canada multiple times for speaking engagements during the bush and Obama years. No one complained.
George W Bush came during the Obama years. No one complained.
This isn’t new. This isn’t unusual. Former world leaders get speaking gigs.
@KirkLubimov It’s not hard to understand. It’s hard to take seriously from the party that made sure we wouldn’t be that.
The Conservative Party sold out our national oil resources to large, mostly foreign owned, companies. They sold air Canada. They sold mines to the Chinese and so on
@TristinHopper I’d also urge everyone to check crime stats. They’re lower now than a decade ago. And not being a cunt takes zero resources. But why do that when you can use tragedy to push your political and social agenda?
@wealthmoose It’s almost like kids with rich parents get to be rich whether they “earned it” or not. Welcome to capitalism. Where the biggest lie is that wealth is a result of hard work and being good at something.
