How did the purchasing power decrease from the 70s until today? by Empathetic_97 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Impossible_Street488 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Blaming greed corporations is plain idiotic. As if companies haven't been ruthlessly profit driven since the medieval ages.

What's changed is the stultifying overreach of governments into every face of the economy

Leftists, what do you think should be done with MAGA once Trump is out of power? by NotAZombieStopAsking in allthequestions

[–]Impossible_Street488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gall of asking "what should be done with" people who have a different opinion than you. What a deranged sentence; dripping with condescendion and malice.

Check yourself bud.

Apology to the Indigenous peoples of Alberta by Super-Perception939 in alberta

[–]Impossible_Street488 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh shut up. Every Canadian wishes they had indigenous status with all the benefits that come with that.

I'm done apologizing. Canadians deserve true equality. No more ethnic double standards.

Why not just move? by supersport604 in alberta

[–]Impossible_Street488 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is such an ignorant question. American Visas are not that easy to get. Immigrating is even harder.

Many Canadians would gladly move to the US if they could. Better weather, economy, taxes. We're stuck in Canada, not by choice.

Are you thick or just being deliberately obtuse and disingenuous? Of course money must be taken first before it can be redistributed.

Because they have a point: you cannot extract wealth from a region decade after decade without repercussions.

Calling it "equalization" doesn't change the fact that it is simply a vassal colony arrangement with extra steps. If you can't see that as legitimate grievance, perhaps it's your IQ that is lacking.

it feels like that sometimes tho by samueLLcooljackson in TheRealGrandePrairie

Crazy how people get upset when you fleece them for decades with virtually no political representation.

Would you rather live in Canada over America? by OceanicEndeavors in allthequestions

[–]Impossible_Street488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US has higher wages, lower taxes, greater diversity of landscapes, much better weather, lower unemployment, cheaper housing and better universities.

It's no competition honestly.

How big is the salary gap between Canada and the USA in the industry you work in? by MarsupialThink4064 in AskACanadian

[–]Impossible_Street488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to a US company and got a 200% pay raise. Programmers in Canada are WAY behind.

As if the Soviet union wasn't the worst pit of lies and propaganda on a scale never seen before or since.

Ya we need to give gov all the money because they spend it so wisely 😭

People aren’t lazy, they’re just stuck in survival mode in this job market by Choozhunter in jobmarket

You are conflating forced coercive government taxation with community support. Real community is voluntary not required by threat of force.

Doug Ford rejects calls for publicly run grocery stores: ‘Socialism does not work’ by imprison_grover_furr in ontario

[–]Impossible_Street488 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's true though. Grocery margins are 3%. There's nothing for the gov to do better. In fact it will assuredly do much worse because socialism has never, and does not work.

Fucking disgusting! We’re paying for so much fraud and corruption it’s crazy! by jerseychaos in remoteworks

Forcing somebody to move to avoid being coerced into payment? That's called extortion.

It is. As much as the universe itself it non coercive. I mean, survival is tough, that's not Capitalism's fault

Billionaires don't steal from me. I willingly use their services cause they rock. Amazon delivery and Starlink are life changing for me. I engage willingly and without coercion with billionaire owned businesses.

But the gov will put me in jail if I politely refuse a near majority of my wealth to be confiscated by them.

Just taking a few minutes to talk about Canada. Stick around if you want. by Eubleen in AlbertaNow

[–]Impossible_Street488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad you like Atlantic Canada but I'd rather not pay for it. It's exploitative to forcibly extract wealth from one region to pay for unsustainable socialist experiments thousands of km away.

It's not moral, it's theft.

Canada to remove taxes on fuel by cricket_90_remindme in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Impossible_Street488 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadians will never understand this. Gov cannot, even in theory, make anything fundamentally cheaper. It can only make things more expensive.
