"Tax the poor" is the Nordic model.
The biggest difference between Sweden and Canada's tax structure is the huge tax on the poor. In Canada, one pays no income tax on the first 14k or so. Not so in Sweden. Sweden tried the 'tax the rich' system and it failed miserably. 'Socialists' governments have destroyed their country's economy 100%. Dishonest lefties will tell you that Sweden is the exception. No! Sweden, while a nanny state, is more capitalist than Canada and honors its entrepreneurs better than Canada.
I fear as long as Trudeau borrows and spends like wildfire enough voters will support him. He is also a master of 'Wokeness': demonizing whites and creating racial division. So many Canadians support this destructive economics and hateful race politics that Trudeau would be sure to win if it weren't for the NDP.
'Left economics' is to tax and regulate all jobs out of the country then demand the government run everything without a tax base. This 'socialist' system has a world-side failure rate of 100%. It will, however, solve the carbon footprint, because nobody will be able to afford travel or homes, but Climate Hysteria is nonsense anyway.
Worship your climate god with your own money. Don't tax me for your beliefs.
This is great. Anti-white racists have been smearing whites and attributing all their success to 'white privilege' for years. Now another race is targeted. If we 'know' that whites have privilege because they succeed in school and avoid prison, then Asians must also have privilege.
In the USA anti-white admissions quotas have extended to Asians. In Canada, Asians actually benefit from anti-white hiring and promotion quotas. So they share the 'privilege' of hard work and compliance of the law but are not punished for it as whites are.
Little wonder SJWs want this topic silenced.
Our charter does not protect you if you are a heterosexual white male. If fact, it promotes discrimination against white and males.
Twelve (12) positions: Black Faculty Cohort Hire - Assistant Professors/Associate.
If our charter of rights had any value this would be illegal.
I see even more anti-white, anti-male quotas coming. Real discrimination to fight imaginary discrimination. This all generates racial hatred as it is intended to do.
Beyak argued that residential schools did a lot of good for Indigenous children
You can disagree with someone and still support their right to an opinion. Or, if you are a leftist, you can get anyone who disagrees with you fired.
Refreshing to hear criticism of the hateful and dishonest cult of feminism that dominates our schools, courts, and legislator. As Margaret Thatcher said, it is poison.
Yep.
- Socialists claim to fight for workers but, when in power, they take rights away.
- Feminists see imaginary sexism against women everywhere but promote sexism against men. They stereotype with 'mansplaining', 'manspreading', and enact gender quotas.
- Anti-racists twist history to demonize whites. They embrace the bigotry of lower expectations for non-whites.
- Environmentalists want to impoverish millions of families by killing the petroleum industry, our greatest export, but jet around the world and drive big SUVs pulling snowmobiles. David Suzuki owns four houses.
There is no discrimination against blacks in government. The only evidence they have is that blacks earn less. The NBA must discriminate against non-blacks. Blacks have less education and less lucrative qualifications. For example, I rarely see a black software developer while white, yellow, and brown developers are plentiful. Blacks already benefit from hiring and advancement quotas. That is literal discrimination and should be illegal.
One of the few academics willing to publicly denounce the orthodoxy in academia. The Social Sciences have become indoctrination centers of 'wokeness': anti-white, anti-male, anti-European, anti-conservative, and anti-Christian hate. Any deviance from this is dangerous to an academic's career. This is why lefties hate Dr. Peterson so much. The level of hatred that lefties show against Dr. Peterson should shock you because he is a political moderate. 'Tolerant Left'
If you are white or male then you are systemically oppressed by the discriminatory 'Employee Equity Act'. But you will get only contempt for questioning it.

Great summary.
The statement of claim attempts to portray the plaintiffs as children of slaves. Slavery was never legal in Canada. Most Canadians were anti-slavery even in the 1700s. The plaintiffs are a hundred times more likely to descend from slave traders than black slaves in pre-Canada.
For close to 400 years, Black Canadians have faced and continue to face prejudice, inequalities, tangible and invisible systemic barriers to full and equal participation in Canadian society. This dates back to the enslavement of African people in Canada as property and not as people.
Between 1629 and 1834, there were more than 4,000 enslaved people of African descent in Canada. Children, women, and men were reduced to property that could be bought and sold, exploited for their labour, and subjected to physical, sexual and psychological trauma, which has left its mark on all future generations.
If the race of the suspect isn't mentioned then you know it isn't white.
“She started then saying that we were racist against her because she was Black,” she continued. “No one mentioned race.”
"Systemic racism and discrimination is a painful lived reality for Black Canadians, racialized Canadians and Indigenous people," said spokesperson Bianca Healy in a statement.
No. The only systemic racism in Canada is against whites. The only evidence given that blacks suffer discrimination is that they, on average, earn less. Is that 'proof' that the NBA discriminates against non-blacks? Blacks also have less education, are younger, and have less experience at their job. Few blacks have compsci degrees. Lots of Asians do. Guess who earns more?
I hate how politicians pit people against each other. The government teaches aboriginals that all of their problems originate from whites. Alcoholism, band corruption, criminal gangs, and domestic violence occur on reserves because of whites. We paid tens of millions for a report on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls that blamed whites when almost all of these murders were caused by aboriginals. These people want a race war.
European contact is the best thing that happened to aboriginals. We can work together to build a better life for us all. But not if we listen to leftist hate.
Nobody is as hypocritical as left. When they break the law they are 'heroes'. When others break the law they demand prison time.
Yep. Lefties want to eliminate our biggest export, put hundreds of thousands of families on welfare, and destroy our tax base but won't reduce their own jet travel or vacation properties. David Suzuki owns four homes, one worth $10 million.
Drake would never have his success if he listened to the leftist tales of oppression and embraces the role of victim.
If you treat a people like children they will become resentful and never gain responsibility. Aboriginals must solve their own problems and take responsibility for their own actions. If aboriginals want western-style water they need to raise their own funds then build it like white communities do. If they are happy with their traditional water supply that is also their decision. This white savoir approach has been a consistent failure.
Nobody is as generous with your money as Trudeau.
