You could've been voting for weeks now at Elections Canada offices.Hasn't advance voting already started at some locations? Hiding the platform this far in is ridiculous.
Everyone has been able to vote at Elections Canada offices since the writ dropped. Advance voting at polling stations are Friday-Monday this coming weekend.Hasn't advance voting already started at some locations? Hiding the platform this far in is ridiculous.
What game is that?
I'm curious. Because if it all for 40 years
Eliminating loopholes would probably be a better first step(and they've done some) but I agree otherwise.
Then keep provincial politics provincially then
So NDP and Bloc were beneficiaries post-debate while both the CPC and LPC we brought down a peg
All of those shifts are so small as to be basically statistical noise. You could as well say that the debate didn't really change anything.So NDP and Bloc were beneficiaries post-debate while both the CPC and LPC we brought down a peg

The tax changes implemented by the liberals did seek to improve the concept of integration in our tax system, but they never went as far as what the NDP are proposing in terms of just straight up "taxing the super rich". I work in tax and even myself and the few colleagues supportive of the motive for the changes recognized that the liberals rolled them out in the worst way possible. It was a confusing mess, handled poorly by the government. Even the rules they did end sticking with create a big burden on businesses and professionals in terms of staying compliant. And this doesn't just impact the rich. If you are a legitimate small business owner that these rules ultimately don't target, you may now have significantly more headache and cost in defending your filing position in the event cra ever looks into things and disagrees for whatever horseshit reason (which unfortunately does happen all too commonly).Trudeau tried to tax the rich first year in. No one cared cause they just moved money around to avoid taxes. We could increase tax to 70% and no one would care. It's the loopholes that need to be closed. But they tried that and it's hard politically.
I would need to see the exact details of how the ndp intend to implement a wealth tax, but their proposal like upping the capital gains inclusion rate is something that is simple yet effective. I would hope a wealth tax could be structured in a way that it doesn't create a mess for everyone else.
I always assume hockey people are right wingers until proven otherwise.Not that I was a fan or anything but I'm a bit surprised Theo Fleury is a rambling right wing troll on Twitter who retweets Kinsella's bullshit.
I'd say the majority of hockey players, present and past; lean more to the right side.Not that I was a fan or anything but I'm a bit surprised Theo Fleury is a rambling right wing troll on Twitter who retweets Kinsella's bullshit.
Do you know how your riding historically votes? If it's a strong NDP riding then you shouldn't worry about voting for them. If not, well, you have to consider the choice that pisses of a lot of NDP supporters.This election is actually making me panic and I can't wait until it's over. I'm Ontarian and was around last thread to watch Doug come in and make life much, much harder for me, so the thought of Scheer becoming prime minister is nightmarish. But I don't know what to do. I like NDP more than Liberals (I'm Black Canadian and aside from other things I don't appreciate trudeau's Blackface/Brownface scandal), but I'm scared that if I vote NDP it'll help Conservatives win. I'm so paranoid about this happening that I haven't even went out to vote yet.
How is everyone else dealing with pre-election jitters?

"Our Frustration" qui nous ressemblentYes, that's why I frown upon voting for the Bloc. I understand our frustration but not playing the game & stumping our feet from the sidelines is not helping.

Bad idea to vote based on the history of your riding. The NDP vote has collapsed in a lot of their more solid seats in the last four years or so. OP probably does not live in a solid NDP riding anymore.Do you know how your riding historically votes? If it's a strong NDP riding then you shouldn't worry about voting for them. If not, well, you have to consider the choice that pisses of a lot of NDP supporters.

John McKay won that riding even in 2011 when the Liberals basically got wiped out nationwide. In a scenario where he loses, the Conservatives would be romping nationwide and your vote would assuredly not matter.Scarborough-Guildwood. From online it looks like it's heavily Liberal (60% vote share from last election), but in person I see a LOT of conservative signs...
NDP was at 11% last time, and Cons were at 26%

Capital gains are only taxed upon realization, which is a fancy way to say when you sell an asset. The point of the wealth tax would be to tax assets on an ongoing basis and regardless of whether a profit is being realized on it.
I'd imagine it'd be implemented a lot like a management expense ratio in mutual funds and ETFs, at least insofar as public financial securities go. And similarly to property taxes for real estate. The difficult part seems like it would be valuing private corporations whose shares aren't traded on a public stock exchange.
Art should totally be included too. Also there's no good reason for lottery winnings to be excluded. I'd put it at 0.5% per year on all wealth on everyone with more than 2 million dollars in net worth, but excluding TFSAs, RRSPs and other tax advantaged accounts from that net worth calculation, and the assets inside such accounts wouldn't be subject to wealth tax.
Where do you go to see how your riding typically votes? Never really looked into it.
I'm in the haliburton/kawarthalakes one.

Wikipedia has historical results for ridings.
Yeah, that's a rough riding. Even with all the progressive voters picking Liberal or NDP I'm not sure much can be done.Thanks, boss.
Con as fuck, I knew it but I didn't know it was that much. lol

I think personal primary residence should be not counted in a net worth for a wealth tax. Values just escalate to high to fast, it could screw people over. Either don't include it, or include some sort of annual cost of living equivalence to factor in that everything is getting more expensiveI'm all for greatly loosening zoning laws and am entirely against any sort of rent control. That said I'm totally cool with a wealth tax, and I think the left is being way too skittish trying to reassure upper middle class people that "No No No this wealth tax is only for really rich people".
It's probably worth examining why people think financial assets are okay to tax but not residential real estate.
House rich, money poor. It's not as uncommon as some would think, it's why primary residence shouldn't be counted towards a prospective wealth taxReal estate is always tricky because everyone needs a place to live. We can live without stocks or lottery wins but shelter is essential. Some of these paper millionaires are old and retired with little savings; they could sell and cash out, but then they don't have anywhere to go. You can't force them to sell or downsize.
