1/3 of the price of a new home in Canada is taxes, so profits for who exactly?

The answer is existing homeowners, which helps places like Toronto have one of the lowest property taxes in the world despite insane prices.

8bitdo 2c Ultimate I got off Amazon for 30$. Its 2.4ghz and bluetooth, and its hall effect.

8bitDo 2c Ultimate is pretty great, for very cheap on Amazon. Its a hall effect joystick so its more precise and durable. It has bluetooth and 2.4ghz so generally works in Linux I've found.

Theres a reason every left leaning government runs massive deficits and never funds a single program with taxes, you get voted out instantly if you do raise taxes. Therefore there seems to be a slow erosion of everything as inflation eats up salaries whether its left or the right.

Pockets like a bookmark synchronizer essentially?

Does it do anything that signing into Firefox does not?

Dont they interfere in all union strikes?

That was likely a big reason why the NDP got wiped out.

Eminent domain exists in most countries. Just as you cant block upstream water from someone else you generally cant block resource development in the national interest.

Our highways are a good example of this, I'm assuming we all like having the roads that have helped create our current standard of living?

Much of Europe definitely stored their gold in the US during and after WWII due to Bretton Woods, which ended in 1971 when Germany and France wanted its gold back due to the overprinted dollars of the Great Society act of the 60s.

What everyone doesn't understand is that we are not just fighting for ourselves, its a fight to protect the future of our people and of all Ontario and all Canada as well. Unrestrained and uncontrolled resource development only destroys the land, air and water ... the same land, air and water we all share no matter our race, group or identity.

Canada has had the worst per capita GDP growth in the 38 countries of the OECD losing to inflation since 2015, and some people think that could hurt people via defunding our social safety net and basic infrastructure, including the tens of billions that go to indigenous people. I dont think its so simple as you make it out, and more of the same would be a death knell for Canada.
