This dates back to antiquity.

That’s basically what René Levesque did to create Hydro Québec. The government purchased the existing Hydro Québec and bought every other electric company in the province.

We need to break the sprawled zoning and force the municipals to lower the development taxes that have been increased thousands of percent and are being passed on to new home buyers.

This is not going to work. You know what’s going to happen? They’ll remove the tax, and the prices will remain the same, and the housing promoters are going to pocket the difference. If people are already paying the insane high prices that we have now, why should they lower them if they can maximize their profits?

Greenbelt is another issue, as we have a lack of space to build and yet we want to continue to massively grow the population.

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make here. Also this is very Toronto specific.

Mass transit would be great too if we actually built it, we are still the only country in the G7 without high speed rail. All we ever get is lip service on climate change, things like EV subsidies for the rich to consume more by replacing their 3 year old Lexus with a sports car, likely in order to artificially grow GDP so that the liberals have a better chance at winning elections.

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying I just dont ever see those results, I see massive waste and plunder.

Well that’s because we need to stop electing the Liberals or the Conservatives (who are basically the same party, fiscally speaking) and finally give the NDP a chance. Canada is a rich country. Except all the money’s in the hands of an elite few and they have ways to avoid paying their fair fucking share while they reap all the benefits of our social services and infrastructure. Once we fix that, we’ll be able to move ahead with these projects. It’ll make Canada grow so much, too. The returns will be very big.

They increase the price and decrease the frequency or have trouble maintaining their infrastructure because of government financial cuts to said public transport services.

Get your head outta your butt.

Fire “fighters” are now using semi-automatic rifles to put out forest fires by shooting at the flames.

We’re also giving billions in corporate subsidies. We finance their development and they get to keep the rewards.

Language isn’t part of a culture. Got it.

I’d like to add another comment to your reply.

As far as infrastructure spending goes, there is PLENTY of work to be done. There are so many BIG issues that need to be addressed in Canada.

• Government built public housing
• Reduction of automobile dependency and building rapid mass public transit across Canada, at least between major metropolitan areas, that is independent from existing rails where CN and CP have priority over public trains.
• Reduction of oil & coal electricity production and increasing wind, solar and nuclear powerplants.
• Nationalizing communications network and deploying them to the farthest populated areas of Canada giving everyone access to reliable high-speed communications.
• Fixing the drinking water in many regions of Canada where the water has become undrinkable due to pollution or deteriorating infrastructure. Especially around native residential areas where they have been requesting this for ages now.
• Fixing abandonned fossil fuel extraction areas that are polluting the country and releasing toxic crap and greenhouse gasses.
• Speaking of greenhouse gasses, we should start planting a fuck ton of trees, as our government had promised to do a few years back.

Those are the ones that come to mind for now.

They’re a separatist federal party. It’s their jam.

Quebecers weren’t buying it. The Bloc is a federal party that exists to promote Quebec interests and, ultimately, its independence. Voters not only viewed Canada as a real country but they saw it as worth saving from the territorial clutches of US president Donald Trump. The province overwhelmingly rejected the Bloc’s ethnic nationalism and rallied around Mark Carney’s Liberals and a unified effort against American overreach.

Uhh… no? They elected 22 members of the Bloc. That’s still very good, even though it was less than the last parliament. Before that there were a LOT less Bloc MPs.

That’ll never happen. One state for both? After all the pain, suffering, and death that zionists have caused to the Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians, I doubt very much they’d want to co-habitate with them.

Likewise, I don’t think zionists will ever want to share their “God given” land with anybody else. No matter who it is, Arab or otherwise.

Israel was supposed to be a shining beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle-East and we all see what it turned out to be. A fascist, judeo-ethnic nationalist state where if you’re of the wrong religion or descent, you’re nothing and have no rights.

It’s wishful thinking.

The only solution that I can see is if we abolish Israel and give Palestine back to its people and allow Jewish immigrants to move there and gain Palestinian citizenship as it was and should have been, before the first zionist colonist from Europe ever set foot there.

I still. don’t see the link with having some normal debt levels and taking the super wealthy as a new source of revenue.

I won’t argue with you there… You’re totally right.

Yes that’s why I wrote “Stupid Columbus.” It’s all his fault.

Ahh OK. Yeah then they’re a dick.

Well then it’s obviously because of the name. Stupid Columbus…

It’s not an ID document that people often see. It’s easy to get confused and in any uncertainty, it’s best to not allow the passenger in. Though they should be aware and it should be a part of their training.

Or back to Europe. Décolonize native land.

What? Taxing the super wealthy?How does that sound like keynisean ideology???

I didn’t even mention infrastructure in my comment so how did you get to that conclusion ???

LOL! True!

Taking on debt is normal in a government budget. In fact you have to take on debt to be able to develop your country. As long as it remains below a certain percentage of the IGP, we’re fine.

What this government fails to do, as all previous government failed to do for the past 40 years, is to tax the super wealthy and close tax loopholes.
