If all opposition MPs vote against the budget, it will fail, triggering an election

The theme seems to be “reduce operating spending, increase capital spending”. We’ll see how that will blow over with the opposition.

    Ummm, did you forget you propsed they would be the solution to our budget woes? Or are you not old enough to pay taxes and don’t realize we do those on an annual basis? (Putting aside the fact that most billionaires don’t earn it on taxed wages but more that they own unsold stock.)

    I never said they would be the sole solution lol. I’m old enough to pay taxes and I’m pissed that my tax dollars subsidize them, you should be too. There are businesses that get crazy tax breaks that we should take back, spend taxes on the population not the ultra wealthy. Yes close the fucking loopholes.

    One of the best tarrif rates in the world?

    I’d rather not be kissing his ass at all.

    Dafuq? You’re saying nationalize google

    The infrastructure yes, but Google won’t leave Canada if we enforce our laws because there are millions of Canadians and they would still make criminal amounts of money.

    Jesus though, this is why it can be so hard to take progressives seriously. This is just mindless slogan yelling with zero thought.

    And this is why it’s so hard to take centrists seriously, this is just mindless asskissing and excuse making to keep getting bent further and further over the barrel. We keep this up and you will own nothing and be happy for it, with no rights, no privacy, living in a corporate town using musk bucks to buy your Microsoft verification cans.

      I remain unconvinced that cuts for austerity purposes are ultimately beneficial, raise taxes on the ultra wealthy instead

      never said they would be the sole solution lol.

      Okay, so if we’re admitting your first plan of tax the wealthy is a little myopic here, which tax breaks are you considering removing? And how will this stop those businesses from instead, setting up shop in a lower tax, lower regulation, larger single market like Americas?

      I’d rather not be kissing his ass at all.

      How many people should lose their jobs because of your sense of pride? Just curious.

      Google won’t leave Canada if we enforce our laws because there are millions of Canadians and they would still make criminal amounts of money.

      Read what I wrote about the digital services tax. The concern was not that Google would leave.

      And this is why it’s so hard to take centrists seriously

      He just descends into mindless sloganning again. Everything I’ve said can be backed up, whereas your thoughts aren’t even consistent in this single thread!
