Before my time but I presume Punch Imlach?

yeah this is a huge difference. 1 in 5 people over a ten year period was the original claim... 20% would be captured by the increase over 10 years...safe to assume roughly 2% a year then... ...and NOW they walk that very small annual number back to an even smaller un-specified number, likely in the 0.1% range as I tried to point out when this particular argument was raging here at the time of the increase. Frankly, if you are in the 0.1% of Canadians who will be captured by this new capital gains tax 'bracket' then congrats, You are already filthy stinking rich and won't miss the 180 thousand it will cost you on your 3.5million dollar sale. What a joke all the poorish people (relative to a person making 3.5milliion in a given year in capital gains) supporting Pierre Poilievre over this schooled and well acted outrage are. "i might sell something one day for 3.5 million, and by god when I do, i am dead against another 180k in taxes...." says every Rage Farmer believer in Canada. Good luck with that unless of course you are in the 0.1% bracket, in which case, congrats, you are good, you won life. Take er easy and relax.

Whoaaa!!!

Win da turd! Let's GO!

Been playing real good so far, imo, we got this!

Whew, I couldn't log in for the longest time! Go Dakota Joshua!!!!

FIRE IT UP!!! 2 hour warning... WOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!

More long winded and irrelevant info perhaps, but not more honest. I am honest in all my dealings. Good day.

To be perfectly honest, I have voted for the BCUP's when they were BC Libs, the provincial green party, the provincial NDP, federal Conservatives when they were the PC party, and the federal Greens before they had a seat, and the federal Liberal Party. I might actually vote for the federal NDP in my new riding in the next few elections, a distinct possibility. (edit: almost forgot the conservative Social Credit party in BC was one of my first ever votes) However as far as PP is concerned, he will never have my vote. His candidate won't win in my riding anyways, but what is on offer in the current federal Conservative Party does not interest me as a veteran, as a guy from a farming and logging family, as a college educated white man, as a disabled canadian or as a retired dude. I tick a lot of boxes, and in running down the chart of what Peter Poutine offers, and what his party offers Canada, I find it sadly lacking in details and high on abuse of powers, low on helping the most in need among us and high on giving to the richest 1% of Canada. In short there is nothing there to vote for when it comes to the career politician and rage farmer Pierre Poilievre. You are correct.

Wait a tick: the guy who is brilliant campaign strategy is to say over and over these past few weeks that he has no problem using the Notwithstanding Clause as Prime Minister to get around our civil and human rights ...and some of you think Gay marriage and Abortion rights are safe in his party's hands? With him at the helm?> and Religious whackos in his cabinet??????? I was born on a tuesday, but it wasn't last tuesday, NO WAY am i voting for a guy who is openly saying he will curtail our rights with the notwithstanding clause anytime he feels like it.

Just no where else to put this, but I wanted to share as I am uber-proud of our Canadian Royal Military College team this year as they have captured FIRST PLACE in the "international team' division at SANDHURST Military Skills Competition, and 2nd place overall among 45 teams and 15 nations!!! After the cool intro video you can jump to the 10 minute mark to see "the most lethal squad award" ~ Canada Next up in this long video is at the 24 minute mark, where you will see the "International Trophy" award to first place from any nation not called the USA. ~Canada Finally you can jump to 35:30 to see them get their 2nd overall awards, losing only to the USM Academy, from what I can tell only due to the USMA folks winning the top physical fitness award. It must have been close! GO CANADA!!!!! Truth Duty Valour
