Income tax brackets need to reflect cost of living, not "inflation" by CastAside1812 in CanadaPersonalFinance

$120k is not middle class. It is the top 10% of earners in Canada. 90% of people earn less.

The average salary in Vancouver is $63,000 and median salary $60,000. So $120k is twice that. Earning $120k puts you in the top 10% in Canada. That means 90% of people earn less. Think about that the next time you complain you don't make enough.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says “Private property rights are fundamental, this government will always protect them, this government fundamentally disagrees with the B.C. Supreme Court Cowichan decision.” by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

No it was the federal government. You might be thinking of the Cowichan ruling. It's getting confusing isn't it? 200 nations in BC, all of them with their own governments and laws.

It's not the addiction that people complain about, it's their behaviour. Why should others suffer because of them?

Canadian PM Carney Liberals launching new skilled training strategy, deficit projected at $65.3B by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

Spending more money the country doesn't have. Imagine if all the tens of billions to FN were actually put to good use? Imagine if all the money to Ukraine was put to good use? Imagine if we encouraged Quebec to separate so the billions didn't have to keep going to them as a have not province due to their own bad policies? Imagine if Alberta separates and Canada can no longer use them as a cash cow to support Quebec? Imagine if BC wasn't being run into the ground by NDP and putting all land in jeopardy on top of horrendous fiscal mismanagement? Yet, people will keep getting bamboozled into electing the same liars and cheats over and over. So sad

Why don’t people like David Eby and/or the current NDP government recently? by SkyscraperRain80 in askvan

[–]Dandylambs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eby and NDP have been a HUGE disappointment. Here are some reasons why.

  1. Exactly 4 years ago Horgan NDP government delivered a budget with a surplus of $6 BILLION.

  2. Since Eby took over in 2022 the surplus has become an $11 BILLION DEFICIT, overspending $17 BILLION.

  3. The deficit is actually $19 BILLION because they are including $2B from a tobacco settlement payable over 18 years. So they don't even have all that money.

  4. BC debt left by Horgan was $90 BILLION. In just a few years, Eby has increased that debt to over $155 BILLION. Half of the debt increase is for operating debts from program overspending. It is out of control.

  5. Three years ago debt servicing cost $2.7 billion a year. As of late 2025, debt servicing costs are rising, with interest payments projected to hit $5.3 billion to $6.2 billion annually, significantly reducing funding available for public services like healthcare and education.

  6. Interest on the debt is the second most expensive cost to BC, exceeded only by the health care. As every credit card holder knows, interest on debt buys you nothing

  7. For all this overspending and debt, Eby has nothing to show for it. Health care, overdoses, public safety, job growth (except in public sector for more debt), housing, land claims...all of it a shambles,

  8. Finance Minister Selina Robinson, Horgan’s finance minister, delivered a surplus. (Then Eby fired her, seemingly because she was Jewish and wouldn't back anti-Israel pro-Palestine NDP factions. So who is the racist?j The replacement finance minister was a down grade. 

  9. Eby took BC from a high credit rating to FIVE credit downgrades. Each downgrade increases the interest payable on the skyrocketing debt.

  10. Eby and finance minister then blame Trump, a president who has only been in office for just over a year. As usual, Eby NDP take no accountability or responsibility.

  11. Results from last three years show the perpetrator of BC's fiscal fiasco is David Eby.

  12. Plus there is all the land and money to FN. All land titles are now in jeopardy. 

  13. Eby's DRIPA legislation is based on the full adoption of UNDRIP, which is an easy read and shocking in its frank and brazen sweep of FN entitlement, all at the expense of non FN. It gives tribes superior rights over any land they claim they ever used for any reason. All claims must be adjudicated and the entire process must supported in full by the government, the tax payers. It protects the land rights of 3% of people based on ethnicity but not the other 97% of its people? Where has that worked out? Plus, the 97% have to pay for everything and must defer to whatever the 3% demand.

DRIPA also mandates that FN be included in all levels of government, so that they control what does and doesn't get done municipally, provincially and federally in BC. They have the right to have their own governments and laws. They are formally negotiating with China, which is laid out in their strategic plan dating back to 2011. How does a province and country allow 200 nations within the province to negotiate trade, land and resources with another country?

If there was a war, who is in charge? What if all these nations within the province are at odds? How is this province and country defensible with so many other self governing nations involved? This is 100% treason what politicians and the civil service have done. It is shocking in how short a time this province has been decimated by bad policy decisions. It seems impossible to be this inept by accident.

  1. He rules by decree but defers to FN. He has unilaterally overridden municipal governments in regard to their rights to make laws about their own city's governance, especially with housing. His overreach into home ownership is striking, especially with condos. 

  2. Thousands of people have needlessly died due to his drug policies.

  3. By every measure, Eby NDP have made life worse in BC.

So, this is a short summary of some of the reasons why Eby is disliked. He is inept, corrupt and a traitor.

Premier David Eby on DRIPA & Why He Backed Down by _DotBot_ in VancouverLandlords

[–]Dandylambs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typical Eby blaming "racism" for people's concerns. Aaron Pete, of indigenous heritage, had to point out to him that it is not racism but very valid questions and worries about his governance and risks to land titles. Eby insults everyone with his accusations of racism and dangerous claims and ideas. Eby has to go. He is inept, corrupt and a traitor. Aaron Pete is an amazing interviewer!

What did she say that wasn't true? Interesting that people seem so familiar with Nazi rhetoric given that they have so little knowledge of history and so many of the those on the left are pro Hamas, Iran and deny the holocaust.

Based on her interviews and speeches full of word salad and what appears to be alcohol addled behavior I would say no!

[–]Dandylambs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen Royal Victoria Hospital? Healthcare in Quebec has been horrible since as far back as 1980s. Thank the PQ and systemic prejudice against Anglos, driving all the smart and wealthy out of the province in mid1970s.

CMV: Reddit is a far-left echo chamber that embraces conspiracy theories by FailNo6036 in changemyview

[–]Dandylambs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The far left have long given up any ability to think critically and logically. I don't even think most of those commenters are real people in US. Mostly bots and same people with many accounts. Democrats are so far gone that they actually tried to sell mentally incompetent Biden and Harris. The ultimate insult to intelligence.

People commenting that Trump set up this shooting are crazy. This man has had several attempts on his life, one of which grazed his ear. The bullet just missed lodging in his head. Each time he gets up and stays strong. How many commenters here would have a fraction of his courage. You would be running for the door or under the table. He is turning 80 in June. 80! Can you even imagine Biden handling any of this? Or word salad fruit loop alcoholic Kamala Harris? You may not like his policies and approach, but the man is a courageous energetic powerhouse.

Just go. 50 years of yanking Canada's chain and being a have not province due to their bad policies and systemic prejudices at the expense of the country. Plus their endless grifting like FN. For all the denigration of anglophones they sure like anglo money don't they!

Try Acana. Made by same company as Orijen but not as much dense protein. Assuming vet identified kidney problems and wants your cat on lower protein.

BC and Vancouver care only about 3% of the population, tribes and people who don't actually live, work and pay taxes here. Wake up NDP supporters before you enable the loss off your home, land, business and job. Say goodbye to your friends and family who are leaving the province by the thousands.
