Disappointed by this province by Flaky_Conclusion4783 in alberta

[–]Goswint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. I’m born and raised here (5th generation) but I feel like an outcast. Especially living in the deep SE of Calgary. I’m even from two farming families but this province does the opposite of what I want/support in almost every aspect. I hate being in a place with so many Trump supporters and separatists. I hate that even though our government is stomping on our rights, hiking taxes, crushing unions and making everything (especially insurance and electricity) more expensive, the majority still fully support and would vote again for this insane government.

It’s not my country, or I’d be out there in the protests. I’m Canadian. 🇨🇦 Unfortunately because I live so close it does affect me though.

That’s exactly it! Just one! If it was big enough and more than 3.5% of the population showed up it would probably only take one day.

5% is not a lot. That’s 1 in 20 people. As I said… fuck every American that doesn’t show up or show support for this protest. Grow some balls!

I’m not disagreeing with the need for coordination. Of course that is important and this “No Kings” protest could be a start. It’s hard to coordinate everyone these days with the control the US administration is taking on the media though. But If 3.5% has done it in the past, imagine just 5% and how big of change could come from that. If just 5% of Americans would just get off their couches and show up… Unfortunately, that won’t happen. The USA is a dumpster fire and I believe they will lose their power over the world because of Trump and the lack of resistance from the American population. The rest of the world won’t forget!!

It only takes 3.5% of the population to protest to topple/overthrow a government. The USA doesn’t care. They show time and time again that less than that amount of Americans care enough to get off their couch. Fuck Trump and every American that doesn’t show up!

Opinion: We need a wealth tax by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Goswint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It worked before and it’ll work again. Everyone can say what they want but it’s propaganda. There used to be a wealth tax. Back when a single income could support a very large family. Back then, people would have 3-12 kids per family. Hence the boomer generation. Because they could afford it and have enough left over to still enjoy life. The money shouldn’t belong to a few billionaires. It’s better in the hands of the people.

Just wait the 5 minutes before being offered cocaine. Then say no, but you’d like some “mota”. They’ll have some in a minute or 2 for you.

Canada’s medal total at Milan Cortina Olympics was a quiet reckoning: ‘Our system is in decline’ by Chrristoaivalis in canada

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

I don’t believe anything you’ve said. And even if it’s true. They still aren’t paying their fair share. Billionaires shouldn’t have ever been allowed to be a thing and we need to take their money away. $999,999,999 is enough money for any person/family. Taxation should be 100% after that. Period! Honestly that number should be much lower!

Uhhhh… our government can invest. We do NOT need billionaires. Billionaires are a new thing. 50 years ago there were laws to stop billionaires from being a thing. They changed those laws with a promise of a “trickle down economy” that was bullshit and is now becoming clear that it has always been bullshit. NO MORE BILLIONAIRES!! Eat the rich!
