Maybe hire a 24 security firm to drive by your place. Send your kids to an exclusive private school. Pay for private medical procedures.... Great world. Yes cause the liberals sure have improved that in the last 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every single year under the former government, things also got worse; more expensive and harder to obtain. Things do not ever get less expensive. Things are worse now than under the former government. Things under the former government are worse than under the government before them. Which was better than under the former. And so on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been selling honey and produce at the farmers market for 20 years. In the last few years there's been a coupon program, funded by the province, where low income families are given farmers market vouchers for produce. It's been successful, but only a smaller portion of our sales have come from that. This year, they expanded that program and now close to 60% of our sales come from those vouchers........because so many families can't afford fresh produce when they grocery shop. Now, thanks to this social program, kids and their families are getting healthier diets. That's one small example of why social programs are so critical Edited September 22, 2023 by stawns 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only a few people in NA that have my credentials. I charge whatever I want. good for you, Canada needs more earners. But I'd argue Canada's social safety net helped you get there with access to healthcare and education. So thats what the current Lib-NDP coalition is keeping in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so by his own words he has worked in the US since 2010 and in Texas presently so he is not really contributing to Canada....

That's one small example of why social programs are so critical everyone is acting like the CPC is going to convert Canada into a libertarian society. The cycle roughly goes. Left, spend on social programs, Right, tighten the budget and so on. It’s time to tighten it up. You’re most likely not going to see a CPC government big enough to outvote the liberal and NDP so I don’t understand why everyone is so worried.

So no you don't have to give up your Canadian citizenship to got get taxed in Canada if working and living abroad.

I've never seen a single adult in schools ever encourage a student to pursue any medical treatment (outside of first aid), let alone behind parents back. You are the victim of grifters and con men, sorry to say My cousin changed her profile pic to the one you see floating around.. no place for hate.. my response to a few of the anti trans folks there was that these same people doing these protests are the same morons that brought us the Anti Vax movement. The same ones that rallied for body autonomy, my body my choice are now telling others what can be done to their own children and what can’t. Hypocrisy at its best. Not to mention the fact nobody is actually trying to indoctrinate children, just to teach them to be tolerant and accept others. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not going to come out of the boards here with the puck. I get a little carried away. Nobody remembers the bipartisan things that I say. There are many things I like from both sides of the spectrum which is why I feel the CPC needs more representation in parliament so we are all covered. I could easily move down here but I don’t because Canada is better overall. I see what these poor bastards pay for healthcare. I understand the importance of taking care of each other. I just get concerned when we get crazy with the spending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
