More taxes please papa

I agree taxes pay for a lot of things, but when you look into systems like Norway etc. where the tax rate is even higher, their health outcomes are better than Canada in every single category. Also seem to focus largely on preventive care and early detection where as in Canada, you wait a month to see a doctor for an ear infection.

Roads are pretty shit, my garbage regularly gets missed, recycling is contracted out to crack heads to dump shit all over the lanes. It took CoV 3 months to fix a street light that basically rendered my entire block pitch black at night, etc. etc.

I pay all my taxes, never cheat on them etc. I do everything by the book, and then I got audited for the empty homes tax. Awesome.

Some of this stuff you could take away and most people wouldn’t even notice. I feel like, in typical Canadian fashion, people have zero resistance to tax increases when the end result is lower quality services, contracting out those services, or cutting services all together. It’s the Canadian way.
