WTF?! These woke leftists are too much man? Where are they getting that Adam Skelly is racist? He's a libertarian small businessman. That's it.
Admittedly the wealthy generally don't utilize their capital in pro-social ways. Canada's wealthy prefers to prop up housing bubbles and invest in foreign assets rather than invest in Canadian entrepreneurship. Because generally speaking people prefer to invest in whatever gives them the highest return on investment. They don't invest in what produces the greater good. Even the TSX has a APY of like 1.05% in the past 12.5 years. So I can understand the resentment towards the wealthy. If they used their capital to create Canadian jobs, if they created affordable housing, Canada's poor would hate them less.
So naturally the left thinks that if the wealthy are not using their capital in a pro-social way, we might as well tax that capital to spend it on pro-social initiatives.
But what if I told you that when my dad came to Canada over 50+ years ago, taxes were even lower than they are today and housing was a lot more affordable back then? My dad was a poor European immigrant fresh off the boat. He said there was no minimum wage back then. At least that's what he thought anyways. He might have been getting taken advantage of by his employers working cash jobs. Who the fuck knows. He was basically the equivalent of a Pajeet (cheap foreign labour) in the 1960s. But he was able to scrimp and save along with my mom and buy a fucking house in the early 1970s for like fucking $20,000 in fucking downtown Toronto.
The Pajeet of today shares a room with fucking 6 other Pajeets in fucking Brampton. And taxes are higher than before. How does that make any sense? Where are our tax dollars going? And we are running up a huge deficit too. Even before COVID we had deficits.
If you're going to raise taxes on the wealthy, can you trust your government to spend that money wisely? How is it that we are taxed more yet the problems are worse, not better? And then the CRA turns a blind eye to the foreign holdings of friends, family and colleagues of politicians.
Yeah if I was Supreme Leader, you can call me a leftist sure. I'm totally fine with the likes of Bill Morneau having 9 yachts instead of 10. But would I trust NDP with the chequebook? Would I trust AOC with the chequebook? No.
The MOH in my region (Peel Region) Lawrence Loh increased restrictions because the virus is supposedly out of control in Brampton. William Osler hospital in Brampton is supposedly "overwhelmed". Even though Peel Region only has 51 COVID hospitalizations. Most in Brampton but still. Ontario has only 367 COVID hospitalizations, 84 in ICU, 54 intubated (note: ventilators kill people anyways). At the peak we had 1043 in hospital, 264 in ICU. If we are overwhelmed in Brampton now, what the fuck do you call April when hospitalizations were triple and ICU admissions more than triple?! The media and the government is blatantly lying to people. Even when the government's own data shows that they are full of shit.
My city's (Mississauga) subreddit is upvoting this article like crazy, praising our MOH. My city is full of snitching suburban Karens who deserve to be culturally enriched by Tyrone and Jamal in a parking lot. You'll find Karens on the sub-reddit admitting to snitching on their neighbours during the pandemic. He is strongly recommending that people don't meet people they don't live with. Which means if your so doesn't live with you, it's you and your dick in your hand. And I think it'll only be a matter of time before we have European-style cuck cage lockdowns where you need a loicense to do anything outside your house. They will literally send the police over to your house, "Freeze motherfucker!" while a nigga be bustin all kinds nuts with a member outside their household.
Are young people in Peel Region incel in 2020? The vast majority of reddit users I imagine probably don't live with their significant other or are single. Do they not want to go get laid anymore? Why aren't more people (especially young people) rebelling against these lockdowns?
