    You must think the right acts like the left does and hates everyone in a particular group regardless of what they think. And who said this guy speaks for all the left? What we're saying is he is describing what many have said about the left.

    Be it a Harvard professor, Trump cabinet nominee or the ghost of Ronald Reagan, when someone says men can get knocked up then that person will be criticized by the right. Also, that same person, while taking a position the left agrees with, will still be despised by the left because of the group that person belongs to.

    LOL...

    Bullshit you don't want employers to hire people ILLEGALLY. Your boy Biden flooded the southern border because he ran on a policy of "an unrelenting stream of immigration non stop, non stop" And he felt we should "surge to the border to hear all the tales of woe" remember that? "their voices should be heard! that's who we are!"

    So your boy Biden, weakened all of Cheeto's border policies, things like remain in Mexico. Safe third country...because he wanted to flood the country with cheap illegal labor.

    And now that Trump is going to MASS DEPORT all of that cheap illegal labor, your liberals are suggesting that the American economy will collapse. Yes. Right now your progressive left is suggesting that the American economy relies on cheap, illegal labor.

    So now you are trying to tell me that the guy who is promising MASS deportation is now the enemy of the working class because he wants to use H1B Visa's to brain drain India of all it's high end talent?

    You can't have it both ways.

    And I've already shown you in my first post which you quoted, that Canada's GDP per capita was on par with the United States because the Harper government had competitive corporate tax and regulations. And that the double whammy of Trudeau getting elected and "taxing the wealthy" while at the same time Trump getting elected and lowering America's corp tax rates and regulations destroyed investment and production in Canada which trickled down to the GDP per capita of working Canadians.

    Read this again;

    "The US tax reforms of 2017 likely lowered investment in Canada and certainly did so relative to the United States. Prior to 2017, Canada had improved its tax treatment of investment relative to the United States, with reforms from the late 1980s to the early 2010s reducing the federal general corporate income tax rate from nearly 38 percent to 15 percent and reducing the aggregate marginal effective tax rate on investment in Canada (Chen and Mintz 2014, Bazel and Mintz 2021) – all positive for Canada’s investment and capital stock (Wen and Yilmaz 2020). As noted already, Canada’s investment performance relative to the US and other OECD countries did improve from the early 1990s until 2014, when the slump documented in this report began.
    Those 2017 US reforms, notably the reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35 to 21 percent and faster write-offs for M&E, undid Canada’s business tax advantage (Bazel and Mintz 2021, McKenzie and Smart 2019). As intended, the US reforms lowered the marginal effective tax rate on business investment. Bazel and Mintz (2021) calculate the average US federal and state effective marginal rate at less than 26 percent in 2019, down from nearly 40 percent in 2000, while the average Canadian federal and provincial/territorial rate was above 26 percent, down much less from nearly 30 percent in 2000."

    That's already fact. I've proven this in the first post.

    Cope, seeth, mauld. Progressive policies don't work. Trump has better border policies and better tax policies.

    Those are great points on how Trump's Smart Tax Cuts occuring at the same time as Castrolito's Dumb Tax Hikes sucked the strength out of per capita GDP for Canadians.

    Now I'm not even sure that Trudeau is going to make it as a governor.

    Trudeau has turned Canada into a heavy conservative population and it looks like he destroyed the Liberal party as they probably won't have party status (whatever that means) after this next election.

    You can't run a country on virtue and bullshit.

    I don't care what country in the world we're talking about, the people of that country don't want a weak effeminate sissy running it.

    Well Canada was proud of him up until the results of weak and sissy policies have had time to ferment and there is no question that those progressive policies simply don't work.

    Especially when that virtue is bullshit.

    The way that he handled the Truckers strike was awful.

    Uh no sir. You didn't address the exact point I made. Trump LOWERED corporate tax rates while Justin went all in on taxing the rich. This drop a mass of business and investment from Canada to the United States. That's what taxing the wealth does. It disincentivizes investment. Add regulations and capital gains tax to the mix and you compound the problem.

    What was Biden/Harris suggesting as their platform?
    https://taxfoundation.org/blog/harris-unrealized-capital-gains-tax/

    Just another example of BS woke policy that simply doesn't work.

    Whenever you are confused as to how bullshit woke policy plays out, simply look to Canada.
