    80% of Canadians think our governments should tax the rich more, according to a newly released poll from Ipsos.

    Personally I'd think upwards of 75% on the marginal rate. But I'd only push that on the conditional government is responsible with our tax dollars (they've proven not to be) and other forms of taxation are reduced.

    80% of Canadians think our governments should tax the rich more, according to a newly released poll from Ipsos.

    80% of Canadians think the government should tax someone other than themselves, you mean? Shocker.

    Affirmative Action

    I just fundamentally disagree that race, religion or gender are the factors important to represent.

    Affirmative Action

    A well written essay and community service are both examples of merit though.... Whereas race is a superficial descriptor.

    Educational Workers

    Are you truly believing that one employee making an outrageous salary compares to tens of thousands?

    Educational Workers

    $90K a year is about double the median income, and in the very upper range of what constitutes a middle class salary. The fact you wouldn't personally be happy with it kind of dismisses the point that the vast majority of Canadians make much, much less.

    Educational Workers

    I'd actually be fine with CUPE workers getting a sizeable pay raise. But it should coincide with a teacher pay freeze. I'm tired of public sector boons coming out of private sector backs. Let the teachers shoulder someone else's pay raise for once.

    friend’s wife’s bra

    Oof....that's a rough outlook of us men. It was months ago, but we were discussing cheating here with regards to its prevalence amongst the sexes, and a study was posted that showed the youngest adult demographic of men and women cheated at about the same rate. I'm not convinced it's a gender...

    Dump Truck Bin Hits Hiway Overpass

    Holy shit! Didn't realize it was dark out when it happened. That's a lethal, semi-camouflaged and unexpected, solid roadblock in the middle of the 401. It's a wonder no one died.

    Danica Patrick - Removes Implants

    That's unfair. Danica is talented. Though she did indeed get further because of her sex.

    Polievere so far

    I can't speak to jcpro, but I don't agree with Ford's stupid education plan. However, I do support less "not-tax" taxes like the license plate sticker, even though I recognize he did that for political points.

    Trudeau/Poilievre Poll

    Dayum....Singh lost a third of his support, but Trudeau only picked up half? My guess is that those fleeing Singh hooked up with Trudeau, but that Trudeau has lost some to Poilievre.

    Trudeau/Poilievre Poll

    I got the vaccine, and all my other vaccines, and I was still against the mandates. To think that it comes down along lines of vaccinated versus unvaccinated shows a belief that humans can't be empathetic to those with differing opinions. The point is, I made a personal call, weighing all the...

    Dump Truck Bin Hits Hiway Overpass

    In that case, I believe the whole wheel assembly came off. The axle detached. Guy had just bought the trailer and assumed it was in working condition.

    Dump Truck Bin Hits Hiway Overpass

    Why are dump trucks even on a 400 series highway? They're almost always spilling gravel and little bits of crap that crack windshields and cause all kinds of body damage to other vehicles on the road. Either secure your load, or get on a lower speed road where you won't cause so much damage.

    Too many people are going to university - discussion?

    University once served its proper purpose, in providing requisite and deeper study into fields that required it. Medical, engineering, law, academia, etc. But then they branched into a whole lot of unnecessary fields, and worked to create an environment where having a degree was de facto...

    What Temperature do you set The heating at?

    No. I typically run mine at 19 or 20 because I prefer things to be on the cooler side, maybe because I'm fairly active. Heat and humidity give me headaches, lowers mental acuity and makes me feel sluggish. 19 to 20 is perfect for me, and doesn't require two layers of clothing.

    Hey Athiest if you dont believe in god

    What drives me nuts the most is that your salvation is tied to blind faith that he exists, rather than how moral you've been. You could live an otherwise sin-less life, but unless you believe in Jesus, you're fucked. Why would blind faith be the highest virtue? I've tried having this...
