We can increase taxes. It's an option.

The real modern competitor to Amazon could have been Consumers Distributing.

Poillevre knows that if he doesn't do shit like this, the rank-and-file CPC members will dump him for someone with stronger Nazi bona fides.

The problem is that, if he wants to be elected, what will get him an easy majority is just not not being Nazi. Chong or Charest could have beaten Trudeau handily.

This is the problem with courting the Nazi vote: it results in your path to power being Nazification of the rest of the electorate, and your PR ends up being low-brow Triumph of the Will, while your election sloganeering is dogwhistling. Personally, I hope he gets sent packing again and the CPC splits in two.

For a tax that barely affected the income of people who were already very, very rich, they sure did bitch about about it.

Keep your receipts. If you don't keep your receipts, that's on you.

Real estate has been a free ride for investors for at least two decades and it's made people homeless and broken the financial future of at least two generations. I don't particularly care if house-rich boomers and elder Xers have to keep receipts.

If I was elected Prime Minister, I'd just make real estate agents illegal purely out of spite.

Fucking parasites, all of them. They add no real value to the economy whatsoever.

I wonder if it would help if we banned fly-by-night couriers that Amazon et al use and diverted more of that volume through CP.

They'd be better-paying jobs, too.

It would cut into the capital available to commercial banks, so of course it won't happen. RBC, TD, CIBC, BMO and Scotia do not want to lose those sweet customer deposits.

Same reason we don't get public rail and public telecomms: essential services can only be delivered if they make a rich person richer.
