Not being an American....but in all honestly, that idea is wearing a bit thin since the world is very over-populated, and it's going to impact how Canada function pretty quick.
We are a cleaner country. No I don't agree with the Carbon Tax, and bullshit ploys to milk more money from it's citizens. But we do have a better track record than most countries trying to meet our environmental goals.
...is total bullshit. All SJW'ing wants to do is create a protected class for "minorities" under a two-tier system of privileges, segregating itself from the majority.
Like above, it's being stripped away slowly with ideas like C-16, and M-103. Self-Defense laws are a joke, and even legitimately owning a gun instantly makes you a criminal. Property rights mean very little.
Canadian by default then.
Subjective.
I suppose so, we Canadians live healthier lifestyles than Americans do.
Not since Coors bought out Molson back in 2005. Been a consumer of Sleeman's since then to maintain my Canadian identity through beer drinking.
It's a fact that our quality of education is better than the Americans. We rank #5, while the US is something like #17.....and that's saying a lot as our public education system is stretched to the max as it is.
Apparently complaining about how things are never good enough is a more and more common (and unfortunate) Canadian quality these days.
Incorrect. Transferring your wealth to the Canadian government in exchange for the rights of citizenship and security is a wealth transfer under social contract, not a net earning.
Rights of citizenship is not guaranteed under any contract, social or otherwise, that requires any citizen to exchange anything for rights. Being a citizen in and of itself is enough to be guaranteed rights. In other words, rights are guaranteed by law, not by some philosophical social contract that requires a citizen to exchange wealth of any sort.
Incorrect.
Your house has $100. You take all of it and give half it to your wife. Your house still has $100 in GDP. It's a wealth transfer. Your wife hasn't become more rich because she's in the same house. She just has more control of the money.
No citizen has to pay taxes for rights. My niece and nephew pay no taxes, they are Canadian citizens, they have rights because they are Canadian. Under your misplaced belief, my niece and nephew have no rights - which is both patently absurd and patently incorrect. People pay taxes because there are laws that say we must pay taxes. We do not pay taxes in exchange for rights. With all do respect; you are over analyzing what taxes are. It is not a wealth transfer or social contract: taxes are a means for government to raise/collect money to pay for things. That's it.
If they can pay or should pay taxes but aren't doing it, they go to jail. They lose their freedom and their right to freedom. How is this not getting to you?
The house is Canada. The wife is government. You are you.
An incarcerated citizen is still a citizen. A citizen has rights, even an incarcerated citizen. The only right an incarcerated citizen gives up is his/her mobility rights under the Charter. If an incarcerated citizen all of a sudden loses all rights, then we would not even need prisons. Once found guilty and sentenced to prison, we can simply shoot them in head and be done with it, because, under your grand theory of "jail means no rights" we can do anything we want to a prisoner - because apparently they have no rights. Losing freedom (i.e. Being put in jail for a period of time) does not mean you lose all your rights. I believe in one of your previous posts you said you were a civil servant, and quite frankly, as a government employee I'm shocked you don't understand the basics of rights and taxation.
Where did I say you lose all rights? Can you stop putting words in people's mouths?
