Canadians now spend more on taxes than on food, clothing and

Furthermore, Canada is also responsible for the position it is in: weak economy, no allies, begging for assistance from Communist states.
Blaming others for you woes only proves you are not a son of Regan.
Go get a job. That's the other tag line I'll be responding to you with for the most part.
It's might be about time to switch your tinfoil hat it's getting full of shite that's been spewing out your mouth.

Go get a job, as the RCMP contact employers as I try and get a job. Maybe you missed the part about me waking up at 6am and applying to multiple jobs with very little success. The only strong responses coming from American companies, how fitting I suppose.
You are the most ironic Texan I have heard from considering Texans love of freedom and disgust at government interference in their lives. Even for someone from Liberal Austin, you are a unique Canadian police cheerleader.
Reserve your names for me until you get the names of the former CBC employees who were actually working covertly for the security apparatus. THEN you can call me some serious names. Not to mention the husband/wife banking couple. One who was in management for God knows what reasons, but you can be sure it wasn't to defend Canadian rights and values.

obviously you missed the part where I told you to stop going after 100k+ Jobs a year then crying when you don't get it. Go start at a an entry level position and work your way up. You are not so special that you can demand such high paying jobs just because you feel you should have one.

You obviously have a reading disorder because you keep missing the part where I tell you to be self reliant. Not a winging little whiner crying that oh the big bad people are out to get me so I will cry on the internet and act like a pathetic attention whore with a tin foil hat.

Oh did someone's little baby get upset for being insulted. Well If the above is the case then maybe you should
1) not assume and or guess something about other people in an attempt to insult them in the first place
2) stop acting like a hurt baby girl crying constantly
3) grow up and get your pathetic life together your constant conspiracy theory of BS on how Evil Government is out to get me is nothing but signs of self delusion and nauseating
4) IF they were out to get you it would have already been done and we wouldn't have to see postings from you day in and day out from you.

and yet all these taxes just aren't enough..after all we get lots of services don't we? Hum, I wonder when people will realize that just pumping more cash into budgets does not mean that more gets done. I think health care is a prime example, while I do think area's need more cash, it seems to be eaten into the endless monster of administrators and other non front line 'management'.

Stratos: Interesting advice and assessment regarding state terror against citizens
Maybe you're a Good German, but I'm not.

How exactly would the RCMP know who you give applications too?
Business' don't register applicant names with...well, anybody. Most don't even register them internally, unless the applicant becomes an employee.

That's a part of their "surveillance techniques" which apparently I am not supposed to know about.
Seems some agencies are really effective at targeting someone who has some dirt on them, but terrorists hellbent on destruction, not so much.

You know, if you folks would just tax yourselves enough then you could have the government you really, truly deserve!

The population grows, it only makes sense that the cost of providing services to these people would also grow. Luckily the economy also grows so the problem should almost balance out, except successive governments -including Chretien, 2Cdo - squandered that with tax cuts.
Your tax rates have gone down, not up over the past 20 yrs, that's just a fact no matter how Fraser Institute wants to spin it.

Cretein cut federal taxes AND made the provinces responsible for health care which resulted in provincial taxes increasing. Plus the cronyism under Cretein was some of the worst in our history.
BeaverFever @ Tue Aug 23, 2016 5:26 pm
Agreed. Although just a correction, provinces have always been constitutionally responsible for health care. He just cut the amount of federal funding provided.

Now that's a new one! The usual response to "Why haven't you got a job yet" is "because my EI hasn't run out" in these parts.

Not the first time either.
Not the first time either.
In BC the govt likes to brag how it keeps taxes low. Instead it charges user fees for anything and everything, and squeezes billions out of the public insurance and hydro companies, so that they have to raise rates. Puts more of the burden on lower income earners, since these fees are regressive.
People love to bitch about taxes, but ask them to give up the things that the taxes buy, and all of a sudden it's different story.
I'd pay user fees if it got me a doctor not the random collective.
So what things are you talking about giving up? I do admit I like clean drinking water.

I don't know what world you live in, but I have done my own taxes for the past decade and every year they have gone up minus 2! So you can stick your 'facts' and check them at the door. I have my tax returns to prove it. And they just went up again twice this year! Love our NDP's out here in AB!

Could it be that you're making more money therefore in a higher bracket?
Surely you haven't been earning the same for the past 20 years, what are you an 80 year old pensioner?
