Crooked in Canada

Election campaign promises don’t amount to much, and it doesn’t matter what political party is making the promises that taxpayers always have to pay for in the end.  Campaign promises are a joke from federal election to federal election, and the current election campaign is no exception to the stupidity of making the same campaign promises over and over and over again.

For example, the Liberals and NDP have agreed to spend, spend, and spend on national daycare, again. How many times have Canadians heard that promise before, and why does nobody make that promise in by-elections?

Then there is Stephane Dion’s brilliant plan for students. He promises that rather than allowing students, parents and grandparents to claim university and college tuition costs, Dion says he is going to give university and college students an extra $1000-a-year cash, divided into 3 or 4 quarterly payments. College kids are sparking up the bongs and tapping kegs in celebration.

Here’s a f**king plan Dion, why not just tell university students are so hard done by financially they should spent less time getting drunk and partying, and more time doing menial part-time work to make ends meet if times are so tough for them on campus. I am sure there are a few burger flipping and toilet cleaning jobs within a public transport ride of Canadian universities that they can do. University students spend too much time making excuses and blaming others for their financial woes, and by giving them money instead of the tax, deduction they are already getting is bullshit. Nothing like enabling a binge-drinking student with a $1000 cash incentive Dion. What a moron!

Canadian taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for a university student’s partying, and trust me that extra 250 or so dollars Dion is promising to put in their pockets quarterly is going to be spent on “the party.” Student unions and beer stores are loving that brilliant Liberal waste of Canadian taxpayer’s dollars.

$1000-a-year, and what is the cost of writing off student loans year in and year out again?

As for the Liberal’s plan for daycare, get real Dion. Promising to throw more taxpayers money into daycare is the same promise they, the Conservatives and the NDP make all the time. Funny, you would think that after years of promising to do something about the national daycare problem you would think that daycare would no longer be an issue.

Yeh, yeh, yeh…Nothing like recycling an oft-repeated promise to fix something that never gets fixed, but absorbs a lot of taxpayer’s money. Nothing like giving college and university kids more money so they can get falling down drunk after being overworked by the professors. Give me a f**king break!

Billions promised for child-care, post-secondary programs

Green Party’s Platform Built On Hiking Taxes-Are You Sure You Didn’t Smoke Pot Elizabeth May

The leader of the Green Party has unveiled her party’s platform, but not before making sure Canadians knew that she never smoked pot, and trust me when I say the Green Party’s platform is going to hit Canadian taxpayer’s wallet just as hard as any other political party whose election platform consists mostly of tax hikes.

Let’s start with May’s promise to levy extra taxes on carbon emitters. That is really funny, and it  is a good thing she is offering to cut taxes for low income earners because by slamming extra taxes on carbon emitters who in turn collect that tax from consumers, low income earners are going to need all the tax breaks they can get. Most carbon emitters are tax collectors, not taxpayers. They collect from consumers what the government hits them with in taxes.

Then there’s the GST her party plans to hike. So much for that tax cut for low-income earners.

The Green Party is mostly about taxing, taxing, taxing in an effort to make enough money collected from taxes on greenhouse emissions so that the party can offer tax cuts to individuals and business, reduce poverty and create a post carbon economy. Realistically speaking, it ain’t gonna work out that way, not without taxing the f**k out carbon emitters, who in turn will hike their prices to consumers who in turn start spending less on the products that carbon emitters will use to collect the tax that May is proposing to levy on carbon emitters. Worst part of her proposal is that at the end of the day the money she thinks a Green Party government can collect from Canadian taxpayers will never be enough to help the Green Party realize “their dream” of an environmentally friendly economy. I am not saying their platform can’t work, but in order for it to work for any government, governments are going to have to tax the shit out of everything, everybody and anybody who manufactures, produces, grows or extracts from the environment those products every single Canadian taxpayer (including manufacturers and other industries) uses and consumes every single day of the weeks in a year, twenty-four-seven basically.

The question that politicians should be asking of Canadian voters this election campaign is, “How deep are your pockets?”

They shouldn’t be telling Canadian voters that their intention is to raise taxes, or that they are going to give people money that Canadian taxpayers will be on the hook for.

Last but not least May isn’t an elected MP, she lost to a Liberal in the last federal election, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Independent MP joined the Green Party, they wouldn’t have a sitting MP in the first place.

The Green Party can ride of the wave created by climate change, but raising taxes isn’t go to see them in better standing in Parliament after this federal election, especially if they’re platform is about raising taxes to offset carbon emissions. Putting more taxes on carbon emitters will hit consumers in their wallets and will have little effect on carbon emissions or emitters because as I said carbon emitters will collect the tax their hit with from the consumer.

Green Party platform promise tax cuts, GST hike
