Watch for a common basic income for everyone... watch for green initiatives... watch for legalizing hard drugs... watch for pharma-care....
This Government is out of control and ruining this once great nation.
I am literally sick about all this.
WE HAVE A TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT!!!!!
I can go scream it in the streets but nobody seems to want to listen and they will re elect the liberals if they think it will get them money in their pockets.
If you can vote yourself money, democracy is dead.

Yup, everyone who voted liberal should be lined up and punched in the chops, then have to pay for the damage this embarrassment has done.

Our dollar is going to be devalued even more so the price of imported goods will keep rising.
I am thinking the Feds will have to raise the GST.
And they are talking about taxing your principal residence sale. This last one seems like political suicide but who knows with Hitler Jr. at the helm.

Also words that scare me coming out of the mouths of politicians, this time from the new Finance Minister: "fair and inclusive"
Who said life was fair? I believe in equality of opportunity but not equality of outcome... Nothing in life is guaranteed, you actually have to work for things.

Their homeland governments are harsh, and unforgiving, the turd gives them a cheque and a toque and they will vote him until the day they die.
Meanwhile those of us who were born and raised in this country paid our taxes, our seniors etc., get shafted and taxed to death.

They will be coming after people’s assets, capital gains, and taxing capital gains more and taxing home sales. All the things people worked their whole lives to acquire. Anything they can get, but don’t worry PM Blackface money will be safe

Millennials and boomers should be aware. The media have already been running articles about the boomer inheritances, the “biggest wealth transfer” in our history. You think the gubbment doesn’t want a piece of that? There will be estate and inheritance taxes, massive capital gains taxes on primary residences, etc. There’s no other way to pay for the spending, there’s no more money. They certainly can’t tax the massive industrial base we don’t have.

The media and financial rags have been running stories about the "biggest wealth transfer in history" for at least a decade. The media has been spinning the "privileged and wealthy Boomers" (and to a lesser degree, the GenX'ers) stories to generate resentment and get buy-in from the Millenials for the draconian tax plans the socialists mean to implement. What the precious little darlings fail to understand is that these tax measures will affect them more than the old farts who are dying off; it will directly impact their inheritance. 
When you die, the value of your estate is no longer your concern. Your kids and grandchildren will be the ones who feel the effect of the reduced value of your estate.
If they pass these tax laws, they will bring an end to multi-generational owned family farms and other businesses. Nobody will be able to finance the tax burden on the estate.
Of course, those on the government dole will think it is a great idea.

A few weeks ago they literally referred to home owners as lottery winners and talked about wanting to even the playing field with renters.
They call your property a form of tax shelter... You can't make this stuff up.

Meanwhile the rest of us "idiots" keep working and paying our taxes so others can benefit and buy quads, electronics and other nice things with our tax dollars.
Disgusting.
Trudeau should be charged with robbery for what he is doing to honest people like many of us who have never taken a hand out and continue to pay taxes ........... don't get me wrong, I am happy to pay for needed social programs ......... but some of this is fraudulent.
Where's my tax break?
How do I get back the money some of my tenants will never be able to pay me?
Maybe I will just get a second job so Trudeau can get more out of me.
If Trudeau was standing right in front of me right now I'd spit in his face.

This is why the push towards a worldwide non cash electronic monetary system is so important to government.
We the working poor cannot hide non cash transactions like the rich do with creative accounting, offshore accounts, investments that only loose money on paper but reduce their overall taxable income.
Its not it is to debilitate the underground economy and return that income to the tax roll.
The Governments however will claim its to stop Money laundering, Black Marketing and Drug cartels. These have already made the jump to bit coin and other so far untraceable forms of currency.

"Turdope" King Richard the Lionheart from Robin Hood. He thinks most out west are the rich to get his taxes from. There are no merry men to stop him. That tale was but this is not a fantasy. The only way to stop this is to take him off his throne. We need more seats in the big house to surround them. Release the western KRAKEN
