Back to this, there's only so much juice you can squeeze out of an orange. Rich people aren't dumb, even if they are they can afford to hire people to advise them. The issue with Canada is they fucking squeeze your balls dry with taxes. Income tax, gst, pst, liquor tax, new AND USED car tax, property transfer tax. All the taxes is making it extremely unattractive for people to make or spend money here. People who have money will look for alternatives and intern not leave their money here.

Let me help you with that:
Personal Income Tax Rate: 65th
Sales Tax Rate: 155th
Corporate Tax Rate: 51st
Where does the US rank?
Personal Income Tax Rate: 47th
Sales Tax Rate: 160th
Corporate Tax Rate: 95th

I would agree that we've not invested enough in our industries or our people and that we've fallen behind on productivity and that lack of growth in productivity will eventually affect our overall standard of living and quality of life.
That said, how come all the bitching and moaning of Conservatives is about taxes rather than on productivity? Their approach has always been cut taxes (for the rich) and it rarely yields results - the results have always been from education in the workforce, healthcare for citizens, and investments in business and none of those are priorities for the Cons.

I mean, I don't know but out of 169 countries we're consistently in the top 5 in virtually every report about quality of life. That's one UNATTRACTIVE COUNTRY - maybe you should leave?
