The provinces would whine, but Canada should accept any refugee claimants from the US. 11 million new people contributing to the country. That's 2-3 new major cities and all the investment that goes with it and building those cities. Think of how many gloss reports about high speed trains to connect them we could print if we added that much to our GDP overnight.

Before, when I thought it was an actual tax on investment earnings, 66% seemed fantastic. Now I'm wondering why it's not 100% and why the Liberals made the first quarter million exempt from the increase.

I don’t know what’s been more disappointing:

*Watching nazis slowly take over the internet and dismantle it piece by piece over the last 10 to 20 years

*Watching “apolitical” sociopaths stand by and do nothing, because they’re nazis too,

*Or, watching most of you with your infighting and made up identity politics trying to silence and tone police the oppressed people who were telling you exactly what was happening the whole time.
