If the resulting deal out of all this garbage isn't something decent I wonder if the Liberals last long enough for Pierre to be possibly ousted next January.

Although I suppose we could negotiate a deal then Trump could change his made 2-3 times before that as well.

Who and how much:

Consider an annual tax on the net wealth of families with rates of one per cent above $10 million, two per cent above $50 million and three per cent above $100 million.

This means the first $10 million of any family’s wealth is entirely unaffected by the wealth tax. Based on modelling of the first year of this wealth tax, the bottom 99.4 per cent of Canadians would pay nothing, while only the richest 0.6 per cent would pay any amount. This means that only about 100,000 families across the country would pay any amount under the wealth tax, with 10,000 wealthy enough to fall into the second-highest bracket and 3,700 in the highest bracket.

This narrow tax on the wealthiest few would raise an estimated $39 billion in its first year, $62 billion by its 10th year and $495 billion cumulatively over a 10-year window.

How:

an effective wealth tax must make use of extensive third-party reporting of assets, particularly from financial institutions, rather than relying too heavily on self-reporting as in the case of some older wealth taxes.

The long story short is that in nine years, over the lifetime of the Trudeau government, federal subsidies to business more than doubled through the introduction of over 100 new programs. Every Canadian went from paying just over $310 to businesses large and small to over $800 per year in 2023/24.

The 160 page report: https://infopost.ca/wp-c/u/2025/05/canada-post-iic-report-2025.pdf

Report key findings: https://infopost.ca/wp-c/u/2025/05/f1-iic-key-findings.pdf

  1. Amend the Postal Charter. It cannot continue to require impossible-to-meet delivery standards. Daily door-to-door letter mail delivery for individual addresses should be phased out and community mailboxes established wherever practicable. Daily delivery to businesses should be maintained.

  2. The moratoriums on rural post office closures and community mailbox conversions should be lifted. There is no persuasive case for a moratorium on closure of once rural, now urban, post offices. Canada Post already has the Delivery Accommodation Program in place for Canadians who cannot access community mailboxes. It should be reviewed and, if need be, enhanced, and it should continue.

  3. Include in the two collective agreements all items agreed to in collective bargaining prior to the labour dispute. Parties should attempt to narrow differences in all partially agreed-upon items. New collective agreements should include and reflect tentative agreements (subject to agreement as a whole) reached in Commission-facilitated mediation (RSMC and STDP).

  4. Negotiate changes to the collective agreements. Canada Post must have the flexibility to hire part-time employees working part-time hours to deliver parcels on the weekend and to assist with volume during the week. These employees should be paid the same rates and be subject to the same terms and conditions as regular employees, including access to pro rata benefits, or payments in lieu, and pension. Priority for these positions should be given to existing employees.

  5. Negotiate changes to the Urban collective agreement. There is no justification for collective agreement provisions that preclude an employer from assigning work for hours already paid (except by voluntary overtime).

  6. Negotiate changes to the collective agreements. Pilot and then introduce dynamic routing. Canada Post must also be able to change routes daily to reflect volumes to avoid trapped time and overtime.

  7. Amend the time-consuming approval process for postage increases

What a idiot.

Chief executive officer of GameStop, Ryan Cohen, announced back in February that he was looking to sell the Canadian division of the company, telling interested parties to email GameStop's mergers and acquisitions division, saying "High taxes, Liberalism, Socialism, Progressivism, Wokeness and DEI included at no additional cost if you buy today!"

That's actually something interesting.

I'm a little conflicted because Maxime is a real piece of shit but Pierre losing twice would be kinda amazing. This is pretty much the only way Pierre has any significant potential of losing the by-election.

Summary that brought us to the amazing quotes above.

http://archive.today/2025.03.29-204249/https://nationalpost.com/news/mark-carney-plagiarism-accusations

  • Mar 28th National Post broke a exclusive story where Mark Carney apparently plagiarized his 1995 Oxford doctoral thesis
  • There's only a single person of significance providing anything worth discussing which is some overlapping phrases in the 300 page thesis but does not substantiate the plagiarism.
  • Mark Carney's doctoral supervisor responds:

Margaret Meyer, Official Fellow of Economics at Nuffield College, in the provided statement. “Mark’s thesis was evaluated and approved by a faculty committee that saw his work for what it is: an impressive and thoroughly researched analysis that set him apart from his peers,” added Meyer.

Which bring us to this from CTV (infamous for far right pandering as well last week) on Apr 1st: https://files.catbox.moe/h2ze4b.mp4

Reporter asking if Carney will continue to attack them when he doesn't like their work.

NP ends up squeezing like 4 articles out of this crap. Only to have this gem of a quote drop.

Professor A: Carney straight up copy pasta'd his Thesis

Professor B: This is the "most sophisticated plagiarism" he's seen.

Completely insane and as usual what Conservatives have to say about Conservatives is more damning than anything.

On many other parts of the internet you'll see a lot of people saying Carney copied Pierre's policy.

  1. As shown below Carney's exemption is specific to first time home buyers where Pierre's is not. Also doesn't have whatever that rental thing is supposed to be.

  2. Liberals most tangible housing policies in the past 9 years has been providing more purchasing power to "first time home buyers". I think this would be there 4-5th thing to do so, in which case not exactly a significant departure what they've done in this area.


Sept 2023

Remove GST on the building of any new homes with rental prices below market value. This will be funded using dollars from the failed Liberal Housing Accelerator fund. Within a year and a half of this law passing, list 15 percent of the federal government’s 37,000 buildings and all appropriate federal land to be turned into homes people can afford.

Oct 2024

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-gst-new-homes-cut-1.7365339

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is pledging to eliminate the GST on new homes sold for under $1 million if his party wins the next federal election.

Smith repeated a number of policies she wants changed, including unfettered cross-boundary access to build pipeline

She's asking for something that not only supersedes Federal and Provincial powers but also Judicial process. This is Trump declaring himself king of America level crap.

Alberta NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi said Smith's threat of a national unity crisis is "childish" and "juvenile" and will fail to get any concessions from the federal government.

I don't know why people keep trying underplay stuff like this from people Smith, Pierre and Trump. Smith is trying to threaten the sovereignty of our nation in times of crisis, there nothing "childish" and "juvenile" about it.

I don't mind blocking them as something to do today but society really needs to figure out what they want to do with this stuff long term.

From a user level I believe having a Adblock type shared lists that block crappy accounts like the one circulates this stuff would be pretty nice.

It was technically to protect more of our once close trade partner (America's) auto industry.

It should be revisited.

While the largest super power in the world is threatening to take over our country Pierre has pivoted from talking about how many genders there are to Carney's shoes.

When fraud occurs on Shopify and you use them as a merchant your lose your time, inventory and shipping cost. While they still charge you the transaction fee on top of a fraud claim fee.

This is the company CEO that is defending Trump while criticizing Canada. The COO runs True North the media outlet that makes Postmedia look almost sane.
