Wasting people's time is the whole point of social media

How do you value something that was not sold? Some people can paint paintings worth millions others can paint the same painting and it's worth less than the canvas. If you need to go through and value everything that everyone above a certain threshold has every single year you will get bogged down with accounting work. Especially since these people employ teams of accountants that will be deceiving you every step of the way. It's much easier to do a one time big taxation event than a small recurring one (see Nate Erskine-Smith's discussion on this). It's also much fairer. While you are living you should be rewarded for high earnings, but when you pass your children did not earn that wealth.

Any time significant detail comes out about conservative policy, it always favours those in the top tax bracket. When they say affordability, they don't mean for working canadians.

I know! People here are way too serious.

Yeah, but just like capital gains, it doesn't make sense to tax wealth until it is changing hands.

They say their top issue is affordability, but it seems like they are taking about affording a third home or a new sports car. Anytime you get policy details, it's to benefit folks in the top bracket.

Bike lanes are driving up the cost of housing by making the city a nice place to live!! Rip em out!

The parallels are uncanny. We even have our own Steve Bannon.

Are they proposing it as a yearly tax? That seems like the proposal is just for show. We should be working on implementing an inheritance tax if we want to be serious about taxing wealth.

I'm not watching the video: https://www.thespec.com/news/canada/new-brunswick-signs-trade-pact-with-ontario/article_d85111f0-124e-5cf5-8a07-2c6f22e7f922.html

I'm in a very similar situation. The NDP and Green seem unqualified and the Liberal is lackluster.

I have to admit. I did the same last year. I could not understand why Poilievre was so popular and everyone hated Trudeau so badly. I thought that there must be something funky going on with the polls.

It's nice to see that secularism is now the default for Canadian politics.

I love my offbranded Bell subsidiary substitute! It gives me the illusion of choice so I can feel like I am not funding Bell while still using the internet.

In all seriousness, where are we on other options? PublicMobile got bought out by Telus. Any non big telecom options for phone and internet?

Can't see the link. Redirects to "yew-tube"?

Less of a left wing thing and more of a pearl clutching holier than though vibe.

Good shower thought and an interesting angle on boycotting the US. You just to use it as an excuse to cut out their products and call them dumb for still using such an arcane system all at the same time.

It does certainly rhyme with what Elon doea with Tesla stock and dogecoin, but this time its with the entire economy of the US.

At the same time, it also seems like we are inching towards normalization of relations with the US, so I really hope this keeps up.

Damn, that sucks. I didn't realize measles was getting that bad. Hopefully the kids that got it are doing ok.
