[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

Having a bigger deficit than Québec is a good sign you should raise taxes. By a lot.

We have a higher marginal tax rate than you.  So taxation is not the issue - it's whatever the government has been spending money on since 2022.

Wow. What are you guys doing with the money?

Obviously, they don't spend enough money.  If they spent money, they'd have no more problems.

That is the Québec Solidaire plan.  Spend like an alcoholic on a wild night and forget everything.

I have to say that the infrastructure and general upkeep/state of BC is much better than QC's. I'm sure the weather plays a part but still.

Le plan de QS est inconsequent, ils vont être rayé de la carte comme la CAQ.

C'est dommage que CSQ soit déjà pris, les élémemts les plus à gauche de 
A CAQ et les plus pragmatiques de QS auraient pu fusionner.  Coallitiom Socialiste di Québec.

Most of the roads are south, with milder winters.  It costs much less to maintain.  Same as Ontario.

They can afford tp take better care.

The exact opposite. The only moderate temperatures are in the Vancouver area and Southern Vancouver Island. The vast majority of the province, including the area four hours east of Vancouver ( where are friend now resides) has winters that are comparable to yours.

The winters in the Okanagan feel like being in Cuba compared to Montreal lol. We get maybe 10 cm of snow TOTAL, and the temps are rarely in the negatives. I'm talking around the lake though, obviously higher elevations will be different. Montreal still gets meters and meters of snow and it can reach minus 30 a few times a year.

But I was not only referring to the roads. Everything is just in better shape (in general) here. Montreal/Qc is just ghetto.

Yeah, you're right. It's more moderate around the lake. Go a little further north or even east. Like the area around big White and you will feel right at home.  For the rest of you that's only about another 45 minutes further away.

Also, if you haven't been there very long and you have yet to see a real winter. Last winter was very warm, although granted, that may be the new normal.

You mean to say most of the highways are built in the Rockies and northern BC? Strange.

First we don't have a highway that travels East in parallel with the border. So yes outside the lower mainland, Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, all our highways are North of here.

Bit the bigger geographical error you are making is assuming all Southern area of BC have mild winters.

That is only true of the lower mainland (although the Eastern Fraser Valley can get a lot of snow) and Southern Vancouver Island.

The vast majority of the roads in this vast province get winter weather.

Poilievre claims Christians 'may be the number 1' victims of hate-based violence

[HVC]

The GOPifications continues apace I see.

[crazy canuck]

"One hundred churches have been burned," Poilievre said. "Christians may be the number 1 group that are victims of hate-based violence. But, of course, it's not politically correct to say that."

It's also not factually correct to say it either. 

[Bauer]

I thought a lot (or all?) of the church burnings were related to residential school anger /ptsd.  Of course arson and violence aren't a reasonable way to cope, but it's not the same thing as a pure hate based crime.

Don't let facts get in the way
