My friend, it’s not like it bring true even helps your argument. You’re not the victim. You’re the rich person who doesn’t want to marginally pay their fair share.
If you’re worried about that 400/month then you should skip your daily Starbucks matcha latte and avocado toast. Budgeting really helps.
New anonymous accounts spouting conservative rhetoric while saying they voted NDP in the past (all during elections) does not exactly instill trust in what you say.
I’m sorry, 5k a year? When the legislation is actually taxing people that make 200k+ a year at an additional $192/year.
At $250,000 the increase would be about $1,192, and at $1.5 million about $36,192.
Your claim of 5k additional taxes, then you’re claiming you make about 440k/annual. So current take home is 20,700/month. After new legislation take home would be 20,300/month.
That type of salary puts you in the top 0.5% of income tax filers in Canada. You, allegedly, make more than 99.5% of tax filing Canadians and you don’t want to pay an extra $400/month in tax?
I’m doubting the veracity of what you’re saying.
This tax raise?
Emphasis first:
…a taxpayer with $200,000 in taxable income would pay about $192 more a year.
The proposal lifts the rates on the two highest existing brackets by two percentage points and adds a new top bracket. Taxable income from $190,405 to $265,545 would be taxed at 18.8 per cent, up from 16.8 per cent.
Income from $265,545 to $1 million would move from 20.5 per cent to 22.5 per cent. Income above $1 million would face 24.5 per cent.
Each rate applies only within its bracket. Everyone keeps the current rates on their first $190,405. Daily Hive calculated that a taxpayer with $200,000 in taxable income would pay about $192 more a year.
I’m glad for the stance and the public statement - And not to be a negative Nancy - But what actions are all the governments going to take to protect the ICC? Flashy statements are nice, but if they’re not backed up by action then it’s not effective.
A Canadian ICC judge, Kimberly Prost, has been sanction for ~2 years now by the US, and Canada could have applied a specific administrative law to shield her from the sanctions, but hasn’t.

Good. Too many Liberal Zionists (and global “liberals” too) who still run cover for the fascist state.
Ha! Old habits of engaging with the r/Canada only if necessary 😂
But I’m definitely hoping and trying to foster that !onguardforthee@lemmy.ca would be as leftist and lively as it’s reddit counterpart.
I think it’s his humanity that wanted to help people in crisis and I can’t fault him for it. But Israelis have no humanity
The only outlet talking about this is the right-wing rag brussel signal (not even Spanish news). It’s not too different than when rightwing rags falsely claimed in 2024 that “left wing” members were trying to discredit Biedma.
Ah, fair. I thought you meant a VPN could be used to bypass the issue.
Calling Lemmy a “blog” and has “proud” in the name. He’s a geriatric white supremacist.
What’s moronic about this is that it won’t stop criminals. They’ll just move over to a different platform that is more secure.
But everyday Canadians’ privacy will pay the price because backdoors now exist for bad actors (both law enforcement nutjobs and criminals) to use against us
FYI, Abdul El-Sayed has repeatedly said that he is not a formal member of the DSA and is a capitalist, but has given several talks at DSA events.
It’s crazy how we don’t hear about occupy wall street at all. Even when it was happening there was barely televized.
You should read the article because VPNs are directly effected
They changed their tune a couple of years back. They’ve condemned Russia And supportive of sanctions
They’re still talking about the 2SS as if the colonial state hasn’t been poking holes in it for decades. You can’t have a sovereign state next to an expansionist. The native Americans fell for that one.
An ethno-supremacist political ideology is very different than an ethnicity, because not everyone from that ethnicity prescribes to that supremacist ideology.
Unless he’s simply saying as a blanket statement that they abide by the motion and also don’t exclude anyone. But it seems like he disagrees with the motion on the basis that it might excluded people on the basis of ethnicity (and therefore conflating the two).
Yeah, Dynacare won the contracts when there was a conservative government in Manitoba between 2016 - 2023. Dynacare had a monopoly on lab results as of 2017.
While I’m 2025 Manitoba increased Dynacare’s funding and subsidies with the intention that their employees would get paid better, dynacare pocketed the money (shocker).
It’ll now be twice as expensive to move it back to publicly managed, but I’m hoping that Wab puts in the groundwork for that.
We live in a democracy (a flawed one, unfortunately). But it’s your prerogative to vote as you deem suitable and I apologize if I’ve come off harshly - you can see that many people have strong feelings due to how much everyone is currently struggling.
If you feel that a nominal tax increase is your single issue line in the sand, then you do you. Just worth keeping in mind how taxes serve the entire community and that the BC NDP have reduced the balance massively (the opposite of bankrupting). Also worth keeping in mind the many examples of people advocating for less tax, like just south of us, and the mentality/society that follows versus Europe (with way higher taxes and progressive brackets) and their mentality/society.
I’ve lived in many provinces, BC being one of them, and I’ve noted that people in BC take the social and governmental services for granted; where other provinces just give you the finger for those same things.
