Federal Tax on Share buyback Is Lunacy!

I guess the questions are what do you want the country to look like, how will you make it work and who's going to pay for it? All three have to be answered with one solution.

Grab a pen and paper, open google and tabulate the current market value of canadas resources.

Theres your answer. But let me help you, it would easily be $100T.

Canada is never going to be a tech or EV or manufacturing power house. Our investment climate doesnt permit it and world labour costs destroy that idea.

But we have a lot of what others dont have and desperately need.

But that would mean a transfer ort power into western canada and we cant let that happen, so we choose to be chronic under performers and the richest resource nation in the world which also carries a huge debt.

The ndp have never been in power federally. So hard to know.

Really? Singh is doing a great job propping up a Liberal minority government.

So no sense blaming any of the real left or Soros for globalization or just about anything. Is there?

Funny when Trump or convoy types blame globalization, corporate contol
exporting jobs etc. On some left elite Kabal in a bunker some where. Thats a laugh.
It was the Reagans Bushes Clinton Trump ,Mulroney and Harper and liberals and Putin.
That have enriched the 1/10 of 1 % to own 1/2 the planet

Whether its lack of regulation of banks , reckless Govt. Spending . bailouts of the rich and the banks . War mongering etc.
Its all in their court.
No pipelines being built in Canada .
Harper had 8 years . And not a mile of pipe.

You fail to mention that some of those pipelines were ten years in environmental review. With the "No New Pipelines Bill", no new ones will ever be proposed either.

Russian oligarchs with Trillions and average Russian in poverty.
The States headed the same way.
I can't see the attraction.
I dont get it. Kill the middle class. Enrich the rich

I guess if you don't look or it isn't written in the "Commonwealth" it isn't true.

Lep not sure what you alludeing to . I do not get the commenwealth.
My point was valid. Virtually everything the right ******* about. They themselves made happen.
If they had taken a leftist approach .
Kept ownership of our resources.
We might have been swimming in money like Norway.
And for Toms sermon . He always goes there when he has no rebuttal.
Religion is somehow the cure . But in the US . Way more religious than here . More folks in prison than anywhere on the planet. Actually the less religious societys around the world have less crime.
Likey every one of those trying to overthrow the US election on Jan 6. Riots would claim they are religious.
And likey the right brand that even Tom would Actually approve.
Then the convoy crew in Canada, more of the same.

My points in bold are valid.

Hugo Chavez took control of their oil. Worked real well.

Just remember government will screw everything up if they are in charge. Not an entrepreneurial bone in any of their bodies. Remember Spudco?

Sawfly, I didn't explain well enough I see,

Personal responsibility; being the motivation for a peaceful prosperity... is the essence of justice and freedom... for all... to change the world for better... peaceful, forgiving, compassionate... frugal...

'You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free'. King Jesus, designed, created, and witnessed to us simple principals... by example... never owning anything... while having authority over all matters, time and wisdom; living a peaceful life.

Life is a state of conscious mind. Completely outside the physical Universe... yet more important to the destiny and prosperity of human civilization. I can only change myself. You are responsible for your decisions.

Example:

The rich young ruler wanted to know what to do to be complete and inherit 'eternal life'.

King Jesus said "You still lack one thing. If you want to be complete [perfect], go Sell your possessions and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow me." [Mathew 21:19, Luke 18:22]

Not the answer this powerful person rich wanted to hear... he went away very sad because he had many possessions!

It is in giving that we receive fulfillment. A vow of poverty perhaps?

Blessings!

I believe in free enterprise. A competitive market place. And You definitely need incentive in the economy.
But you do not need an old boys club.
Running politcal parties makeing laws to enrich club members. Both conservatives and liberals are guilty.
Let the Peons fight back and forth on who is to blame .liberal or conservative.
Keeps them busy while the super rich stack the deck and cash in.
Just like Putin and his buds living the high life. When the percapita income in Russia is less than India.
Putin convinces them the west is to blame.
Just like some of you that blame soros and the WEF.and omg antifa . None of which have ever made a law in this country.
