Shocked there is not more discussion about this part of the Budget proposal "The Liberals did lay out some policies, however, that will hit the pocketbooks of Canada’s wealthy. The budget proposes to introduce a tax on select luxury goods — including on the sales of luxury cars and personal aircrafts over $100,000 and boats, for personal use, over $250,000." If this passes, and it gets layered on with the existing provincial luxury tax...that would mean taxes of up to 35% for a luxury car...that's just robbery. |
^ ... ah, lots of good choices for < $99,999.99 ... especially slightly used. Might affect what ... 3-5% of us ... if that? Rich Chinese dads be saying ... 'Sure son, whatever you want, just put it on my credit card'. |
wouldn't it be cash? Kappa |
^ normally yes but Casino's have been closed for the past year so there is no way for them to clean the G's first. |

My major concern continues to be -- how are we going to pay for this? As a fiscally conservative person, I try to avoid doing things that I can't afford. Of course, my impression of Trudeau is the exact opposite -- his knack at spending money that he doesn't have -- that we (Canada) do not have is unbelievable. |
On a different note, who would you say deserves the bigger blame in something like this? The federal gov for its incompetence? or the businesses for their greed? https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/cra...ints-1.5991108 Quote:

The pandemic has a lot to do with this, but so does the terrible response to it. This is a staggering statistic. In five years of Trudeau "leadership" we are now in a worse position than Greece was when its government defaulted after 08-09. You know, when assets were frozen and people couldn't even withdraw their own money from national banks? https://i.imgur.com/jmE3pVh.jpg |
The notion that governments have to eventually pay back debt is somewhat anachronistic. The United States has run deficits for decades, yet they are still seen as the world's reserve currency. The argument is that as long as governments can comfortably service existing and new debt, then that's all that matters as credit-worthiness is maintained. The far end of the spectrum is Modern Monetary Theory, which is starting to gain traction in political circles: https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2...ment-explained |
As you have pointed out, eliminating the federal/provincial debt certainly seems to have fallen out of fashion today, and being able to service that debt is the more important question. The problem is, with Trudeau at the helm, the amount of debt that he has racked up regardless of whether it has anything to do with the pandemic or not is seriously threatening Canada's ability to service that debt. The US and USD are also a unique case because no other country or currency enjoy the same status as US and the USD do at the moment. Quote:

The US is the world leader in so many fields, they can float debt on innovation alone Canada had oil, turd ended that. We have nothing to provide to cover our debt |

Name one PM in that graph that has had a global pandemic that's now spanned over a year now? If you go through any major country right now -- all are seeing historically high debt levels never witnessed in their history. So what's the point of this? |
Graphs like that are just made to manipulate people that aren’t smart enough to interpret data. Consider how irrelevant the first 75 years of Canada’s confederation are to those numbers when a tank of gas was a dollar and a house was 5k. |

If you look at the debt over time it was pretty much constant til the pandemic hit. $950B in 2016 to $1,083B in 2020. I think that works out to about 3.5% per year. It's only the last year that makes it so high, and that' would've happened (give or take a bit) under anyone. Meanwhile Stephen Harper brought us from $601B in 2006, down a little, and then up to the $950B in 2016. I think that works out to about 5.8% per year. https://www.taxtips.ca/statistics/canadadebt.htm |

Not to sure what do think about this. House of Commons passes bill that would legalize single-game betting https://www.cbc.ca/sports/single-gam...ized-1.5999028 Quote:

You can never win. 1) Gov't opening pockets for loans... people want grants. 2) Gov't can't stop these incentives cause honestly, there are TONS of people who are out of a job. Look at today... raining.. patios are GAME OVER. Restaurants called their servers 4 hrs before.. "hey, it's raining, don't come in for next 7 days, cause we ain't opening; no one will sit on a rainy patio at 12C" Rarely are people thankful saying thank you gov't on the subsidies. |
Ipsos Poll: LPC 38%, CPC 27%, NDP 19%, GRN 7%, BQ 7% cons losing ground. Now a double digit gap. Problem is no one knows there policies. https://www.ipsos.com/en-ca/budget-d...igit-lead-over |
As the world media is saying, the only thing worse than Trudeau's insults to the Canadian people, is the people voting and believing his lies and ethical breaking of laws and patronage. Enjoy your rights to free speech while you can. https://fb.watch/58BgABsA_Z/ |
I mean, the video is nonsense, but I'd be stoked if the government got rid of half the people posting or their posts on social media |

Nah, I just think you’re off your fuckin rocks that’s all lol Keep hiding in the basement in fear that everyone’s trying to take everything away from you all the time. Don’t you ever get tired? Is your life here that bad man? Lots of other places to go live instead of bitching constantly about the horrible state of everything here. That’s the “unreal” part. Too busy living in your own mind. If the government deemed me necessary to make quiet it would mean I’m pretty fuckin important and doing something audaciously contrarian to Canadian society, but I’m not and I won’t be, and neither are/will you, so maybe stop thinking you are and you’ll have an easier less stressful day worrying about them coming after you. |
