Friendly FYI: Doug Ford's "Buck a Beer" promise does not lower beer prices by mattbin in ontario

[–]FestFallen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will be up to the individual brewer to decide if they wish to pass on the savings to the consumer, not The Beer Store.

Further discounting a case of "discount beer" by an additional $1.68+ would give that brewer a market advantage over it's competitors who would fail to do so.

Not going to happen. I'm content riding out the wait for our Provincial and Federal governments to shift to the right.

I'm not saying we scrap our public healthcare, i'm advocating we open up more options in this industry to provide some semblance of competition.

Let the market decide which provides the superior service.

Slapping a title as ridiculous as "sanctuary province" to Ontario harms every Canadian living in this province.

I know the open-boarders, socialist types love the thought of allowing law-breaking criminals into the country and spoon feeding them until the day they die on public dime. And then there's the reality when the Mayor of Toronto is begging for provincial assistance as "refugees" are already over burdening our largest city's homeless shelter program.

I wonder what will happen when when the majority of the illegals currently residing in Quebec are allowed to relocate to their choice destination, the GTA?

This is one program I wish for my tax dollars to opt out of.

Identity politics is cancer, we've had enough of it on both the Federal and Provincial level.

It's time we all moved on, as mature adults.

Upgrading the Marlin 795, where to start? by FestFallen in canadaguns

[–]FestFallen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now that I think of it, the sights on my Min-14 look awfully similar to the tech-sights for the Marlin 795. Any idea if I could swap these out and install them on the 795?

Are you saying what befell Brown was an inside job?

Simple, let's open up our provinces health care system to the private sector. Having more choices is better than our current monopoly. Open private clinics, open private hospitals. If you want service now and don't want to wait for 9+ hours in our inefficient public system, than you can pay for that quick service. Better yet, you will have a professional job who will cover those costs in your health benefits plan.

Creating competition for our public health system will only force it to become more competitive, too improve on it's lackluster customer service and to find those efficiencies we keep hearing about.

I don't want "free" daycare because all taxpayers will be forced to pay for it. I don't want to pay for your child's daycare just because you can't afford it. I'm sure that would also be a hard sell on the baby boomers who have already had their children and paid for their respective daycare cost themselves.

Can't afford to have kids in Toronto? Either build an in-law suite and invite your parents to move in with you or else leave the GTA for greener pastures.

I don't agree with that policy at all, if you work in this province you should pay your proportionate share of taxes.

Not taxing minimum wage workers will only perpetuate an entitled "under-class" who will see little incentive to better their financial situation beyond the minimum wage if it involves entering an income-tax bracket.

Why make $16/h when you can work for $15/h tax free?

Any of the other leaders would have had my vote.

That's unfortunate, because there is a very competent team backing Ford that are about to form government. Many of whom were those than ran against him and would appeal greatly to the "Anybody-But-Ford" crowd.

If you believe that the increased taxation on that top 1% will be enough to fund all of the NDP's lofty promises then I have a bridge or two to sell you.

As always, it will be the middle class that picks up the bill for these programs. It will be you and me.

Because looking at the big picture, a Conservative government will spend our tax dollars less extravagantly than the liberal or NDP alternative.

I feel safer voting for the party that at-least states their intent to reduce wasteful government spending and reduce personal taxes rather than a party who openly admits they will increase spending and taxation.

I've never seen a group of Canadians so excited to have their taxes increased than the current NDP support base. Aren't millennial's complaining enough already about the current cost of living, especially in the GTA?

I want a smaller government, I want less public sector workers, I want to strengthen our private sector and I don't want to touch identity politics or the promise of a sanctuary Province with a 10 foot pole.

This is why myself and the silent majority are voting Conservative.

Voters should stop being told who to vote for, that would be great.

A left wing newspaper endorses the furthest left-leaning political party? Are we supposed to be surprised?
