  • Ain't got time for that. I did a few questions and it did change the result dramatically.

  • I'm usually disappointed by the vote compass. Lately it has been putting me between the Liberals and Cons because I am ambivalent about social issues and left leaning on economic issues. If you think it is non of the government's business which race/gender you are, that is putting you on the right these days.

    • NDP wealth tax would raise $94.5B, pay for worker tax cut and health-care improvements

  • 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.

    • Our local police posted this.

    Jump

  • I know! People here are way too serious.

    • NDP wealth tax would raise $94.5B, pay for worker tax cut and health-care improvements

    Jump

  • 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!

    • Rebel News owner Ezra Levant was 'mentor' to Poilievre, says author

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

    • NDP wealth tax would raise $94.5B, pay for worker tax cut and health-care improvements

    Jump

  • 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.

    • ON inks deals with NS and NB to drop inter-provincial trade barriers. Who's next to sign on?

    • Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

    Jump

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

    • Some Conservative supporters question whether the polls can be trusted

    Jump

  • 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.
