I've seen enough of Khristia Freeland as well. Perfect example of the peter principal being promoted to your level of incompetence.

Trudeau's 4 years of Accomplishments

I have the numbers for Canada. The top 10% paid 54.8% of all taxes while the bottom 50% contributed just 4% towards the collective personal tax bill.
People earning $250,000 or more represent 1% of the taxpayers in Canada and pay 21% of all federal income tax.
That makes sense as the 33% of those millions they are making up adds up a lot faster than 17% of more people earning $40k/year.
Yeah, but they're still "rich" so therefore they aren't paying their fair share apparently.
There are likey 100 guys making $40k and to every one making a billion (or more). Each is a vote. If you were pandering for votes, who do you target to raise taxes from the 1 guy or the 100?
The numbers would suggest that the poor are not only freeloading on their fair share of taxes, they also use far more government services than the rich. Kind of like double dipping.
It's the idea that all votes are equal. Yours, mine and the idiot down the street watching nothing but the CBC.
Excepting that the "rich" are the government employees. Compare their milking of government services and benefits vs the "poor" getting a GST rebate.
200,000 provincial employees in Ontario earning > $100.000. Guaranteed a few federales in there as well.
Julie Payette having a government jet standing by can get pricey. Another one for Michelle Jean. Adrienne Clarkson wants one as well.

That hairbag resigned and still gets 150k per year for life.

That's been known forever however there are those who simply keep telling us that the "rich need to pay more" - they just don't say how much more.
Until they are as poor as everyone else(except government employees of course) or they leave the country and pay taxes in a friendlier climate.
I think that is a good reason to go to a flat rate or raise the GST and drop the Income tax completely, everybody pays their fair share.
Except that the "poor" get a GST rebate and a carbon scam tax rebate. So in effect the rich are carrying almost everyone.
The law can be tweaked for allowable claims for reimbursement
Would this be an accomplishment? I wonder if he was even invited to show support for Israel?
No way to get our jets there unless we piggyback on the U.S. tanker .
