@RodAVanier Your reply suggests that you support economically enslaving people who don't support it, as long as the number of people who do support it outnumber them. Is that really how you believe things should work @RodAVanier ?

Government bureaucrats and politicians should be scared to commit fraud. People should not be afraid of governments. Governments should be afraid of the people.

@LPNational No immunity for police who break laws. No immunity for politicians who violate rights.

True and in some part due to lack of proper punishment for those who engage in it. This is not a victimless crime.

The Shannon Number ♟️ is an estimate how many different chess games are possible (10^120). Fun fact: that's more than the number of atoms in the observable universe (~ 10^80).

Amen.
Canadians don't believe Carney's carbon tax spin. It doesn't matter what lipstick politicians put on their carbon tax pig, all carbon taxes make life more expensive and hurt our economy. Scrap ALL carbon taxes!

High time for a Libertarian government.
The biggest expense for the average Canadian family isn’t the home they live in, the food they eat or the clothes they buy. It’s the taxes they pay to all levels of government. We need to cut the size of government. We need serious tax cuts. https://t.co/0wXu77B2rt

All true but there's no convincing the majority, which means that this is going end in a gigantic crisis. Meanwhile we have to stay the course so that we can point out to those people that we had predicted it all along.
Excellent article by my friend @MPelletierCIO about the dangers of massive government spending: “When most people think about taxes, they picture income tax forms, payroll deductions or sales tax at the checkout counter. But the reality is far more subtle and pervasive.

My brain just exploded.
Did you know that you can donate your time, your money and even your life to the cause of your choice — whether it’s victory in Ukraine, peace in Palestine or ‘gender-just’ rice in Vietnam — without asking the government to force everyone else to follow suit?

At this point when I hear "non-profit" I just assume it's a scam.

Starting in 1973, my mom ran an at home day care. Six kids, zero to 5 yrs old, 8 to 10 hrs a day, mostly by herself, for decades. Her kids still visit her. She never got a million dollar gov't grant for it. States that fund fraud in the name of compassion will get fraud alone.

There’s no moral distinction between robbing your neighbours and electing politicians to rob them on your behalf. Libertarians aren’t against charity. Libertarians are against pretending that government is (or can be) charitable.

If you’re focused on cutting specific programs over abolishing whole departments, you’re part of the problem. Recognize the extent of the disease on the body politic, put down the scalpel and pick up the saw:

The politicians who support supply management are taking the position that Canadian farmers suck, their milk is shit, and if we weren’t forced to buy it, no one would. I disagree.

@marissenmark Modern conservatives are moderate socialists who aren’t prepared to cut a fraction of what’s required to cancel the deficit and balance the budget — and we need to cut a hell of a lot more than that.
