What choice of leadership other than Trudeau or O'Toole could grab
enough money from our pockets needed to pay off our debt and resolve the
climate issue?

At least Trudeau doesn't have to be if he is not going to
need the money for all the climate promises like zero
emission and planting the two billion tress for real.
You keep conflating wanting to deal with climate change and being a Stalinist. they have nothing to do with one another.
Can you explain how else our government can get
its hand into our pocketbooks? The issue to be dealt with
doesn't have to be climate change but the money needed
is going to be as big as our total national debt. And I am
not saying our government has to turn to communism.
It is just in theory the way our government can get sufficient
money from us by hook or by crook.

End oil subsidies.
Tax the super rich.
Tax corporations.
Crack down on offshore accounts.
But of course!
It's everyone else and their sister doing the inbred, corruption fandago, except you and your pure as the driven snow outfit.
How in the world does your delicate and dainty company even survive in a world full of thieving bandits?
Actually the issue is a little different than that
- Wealth tax = stealing. How you manage to delude yourself to think you can make a claim on other peoples property is perplexing
- Wealth tax = loss of incentive to take risk, innovate, increase productivity >>>> no wealth creation You will kill the golden goose
- We do not have a govt revenue problem , we have a govt spending problem
Well if you want to control emissions in the name of "FIGHTING" Climate Change" , you will need to
- Destroy the economy
- Impose a lower standard of living on everyone ( Well maybe not the Davos crowd)
- Control the populations behavior to obtain absolute and complete compliance
- Not give a rats ass how many people are hurt or killed
It is a natural for those criteria
Actually communism is likely the only way to reduce emissions, (see above)
a pretty heavy price to pay for any objective
Compounded by the fact it will not impact our constantly changing climate
The idea than man can "fight" and defeat mother nature is absurd

Explain what marginal tax rate means?
Then explain why marginal tax rate are quoted so often and have to be used on an ex-anti basis ?
It is not my fault if you do not know / understand or are too stunned to look it up
Do you read the posts or just listen to the voices in your head?
you seem oblivious to the consumption taxes , property tax as well as the fees and licenses he is paying
And the if you employee people that is a whole other tax burden to carry
You do not get to unilaterally define the boundaries of the discussion
Besides most small business owners strive to be a wealthy individual
That is generally why they take on the financial and operation risks and work 80 + hours a week
And now there is risk that some lunatic government will decide being successful and wealthy is now a sin requiring punishment.
Or some lunatic government will decide it wont manage its finances responsibly (promises wins votes!) and instead tax target those that do manage their finances responsibly

Of course I read your posts faithfully 'jcpro'.
They're quite entertaining and imaginative, beguiling to the point of fantastical, albeit in a slap dash and haphazard sort of way.

That would be true whether the marginal rate was 1% or 99% or anywhere in between. If you simply object to taxation then that is your prerogative but silly. It is a question of balancing what government must or should do and how to pay for it. the only way that a government has to raise money is through taxation. rates and government objectives and policies are another thing.
But on another level your criticism and that which is usually made by anti-taxers fails to recognize that economies anr dynamic. The better question is what is the cost of not doing anything about climate change or infrastructure or whatever.
As you would see from my previous posts on this thread i am not a fan of a wealth tax.
Having said that I am not familiar with the proverb you have quoted. But I am familiar with the saying "let them eat cake."
What a steaming pile of crap
Bullshit, they can cut wasteful spending and reduce the bloated size of government
even discussing a proposed policy without evaluating and understanding the costs and the ability to pay for is bad procedure
actually implementing a policy without knowing where the money will come from is about as irresponsible as it gets
And yet the loonies try to justify their irresponsible borrowing based on current interest rates and Debt to GDP ratio
Despite their explicit policies designed to shut down resource extraction which will lower GDP and government revenue
And despite the fact interest rates have but one way to go
How odd that you accuse anyone of recognizing that economies are dynamic.
As you do not seem to understand the dynamics can and will take a turn for the worst, especially with policies designed to shut down specific industries
And a more superior question is "WTF makes you think man can successfully "Fight" climate change and mother nature ?
An additional superior question why tax Canadians on energy they require to survive and live their lives when it will nave absolutely aero impact on atmospheric Co2?
Governments work for the people of Canada
Their role is not to make life more difficult for Canadians
