When are Canadians (and Americans and British and more than a few others) going to get fed up with letting the super-rich get off every year with billions of dollars that they should be paying in taxes? This is money we need for our hospitals, our schools, for our homeless, for a decent living wage.....
Let's wake up, shall we? The super rich get off not only with hiding billions but with also getting billions in handouts from our taxes.
Why are we so nice to these thieving bastards? And why do we let them do this to us?
The last question is the easiest to answer. Canada's Liberals and Conservatives, like America's Republicans and Democrats give our money away to the super rich because the super rich buy those parties. And that's why those parties get lots of money to win elections. Let's get real. What's going on in scandalous. We should be storming the streets at this abuse of us, of our children... But we wimp out just as we have wimped out for all our history of "democracy".
At the root, the problem is not the wealthy. We have long since left the door open for them. It's not even Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans and Democrats.
It's us. We tolerate this abuse of ourselves and our chidren.
I don't know whether our 'democracies' are stupid or just gutless. But every election we throw our money away - and we do it quite openly.

Tough luck for the poor. Be reassured though. The super rich have been given heaps of our money - though I haven't yet seen that any of them have suffered.

British history is American history. British greed and mass murder was the story of the British Empire. The American empire is not different. On the contrary. Both empires are really the same one, the American empire a continuation of the British one. The father of the U.S. was not George Washington. He was British upper class, and simply a continuation of the British murderers and thieves.

Ontario's premier, Doug Ford, has been impressive in a series of TV appearances, mostly with a panel of four or so looking very concerned - and Ford himself looking very ernest - if not saying anything. It will probably be a big help to him at the polls.
The reality, though, is that Ford has been a patsy for the super rich from the start. He has been, for example, a major figure in handing out cash to billionaires and approving serious environmental damage.
However, the image of him on screen looking terribly, terribly concerned will no doubt pay off even as he actually does close to nothing. It's not hard to impress Ontario voters.

Military weapons are more common in Canada than most Canadians realize. These are guns whose only function is murder - nothing else. In the US, where these are common, armed groups have already appeared - and a serious uprising is very possible.

I have to confess I was once a gun nut, and I had several guns useful only for killing people. A visit to a Texas gun store with submachine guns and even artillery pieces cured me.

Trump is almost certainly planning nuclear attacks on Russia and China before the American election. Or, it he waits until it's too late, the Democrats will do it. I have no idea whether such a war could be won by anybody. But the death toll would be so great, it would be the greatest war death toll in human history - and I can't even imagine the chaos that would follow that.
Such a war would certainly be approved by the greedy and murderous capitalist class. It has, for many years, made it clear that it will happy murder hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of humans from babies to elderly. (That's already a standard practice in American wars. Yes. American heroes deliberately kill babies.)
The Christian clergy will no doubt support such wars as they always have. And this is all just inches away. Expect Canada's Liberals and Conservatives to kiss up to such wars, too - as they always have.
Of course. The Liberals and Conservatives have always done that to please their capitalist owners.
