Ok. 100 individual taxpayers in a small town. They send their taxes to Ottawa. They pooled together do not pay enough taxes to provide for services needed. 5 million taxpayers in the GTA. They send their tax money collectively to Ottawa. That money is used to buy the necessary things in that small town they could otherwise not afford. So the taxes from people in the GTA supported that small towns services.. Urban Ontario , subsidizes rural Ontario. It's a numbers game.

Oh wait, I know ... you just want to throw a low jab ... just trolling ... like a 12 year old! This is amusing, at best ... mostly it just continues to erode any respect left for you.
You think the powers to be care about you and your idealistic beliefs?? ... calling your dream outcome Socialism ??? What a nice sounding word ... yes, let's pick that word to describe it ... it sounds pretty ... I feel good/better calling it Socialism ... oh and let's soften it up a little more and call it MODERATE Socialism ... blah, blah, blah ... just hot air coming out of your throat ... means nothing but crap ... LOL ... yeah, in Cuba ... they call it Socialism too! Wake up ... there are rich, powerful guys that simply want to take more money from you, and take sovereignty AWAY from you ... they are not your friend ...
I just find it mind boggling that you are actually siding with all this ... do you even understand they are the top 0.1% rich of the world, the epitome of CAPITALISM ... except they want to FORCE you to do what they want ... so it's worse than capitalism. You are siding with the devil my friend ... and calling it Moderate Socialism! WOW, just WOW.
LOL ... dude ... sometimes I'd rather listen to Trump than the stuff that comes out of your mouth ... go back to bed, and keep dreaming.

So how about you,do you feel your privacy has been invaded,do you feel yo have no freedom,do you feel there is no freedom of the press,do you feel you have no private property.
Now unless you live in North Korea or Russia you probably don't know what your talking about.
Gilroy ... are you a police officer? Can you please verify this?

Almost all immigrants to Canada become productive citizens,you will not get it perfect and in case your are fully asleep I can tell you I policed in an housing project where fully 50% of my arrest's were bad guys who were white,third or forth generation welfare/criminal's who had NO INTENTION of ever working in their lives save and except to steal and circulate through he jail system.Yes Canadian born lads each and every one of them.I could name you the families off the top of my head.
So your whole issue with that is that you think the idea of more immigration is good.... while unemployment soars, welfare soars, refugees are kept in hotels but the poor and vets etc. sleep on the streets because the shelters are full, those trying to help refugees can't because there are too many... where is you "empathy" for those left behind, those that are here and just warehoused in hotels and shelters because they can't get help... it will be a decade before they can live on their own at this rate and the idiots in Ottawa want to dump another 1,200,000 into the system. Also am I to imply that owning nothing, no privacy, meat only on special occasions and no free press are OK to you then?
Let's see... vets ask too much, the woman that couldn't pay her electric bill... essentially suck it up, the reserves without clean water just boil it... while our "elite" PM silly socks Trudeau spent about 1/4 last year on days off, spent billions but about 1/2 the projects are untracked according to PMO, created the infrastructure bank that spent $35,000,000,000 in 3 years but has yet to finish a project... all while personal debt and unemployment soar.... and the "government" takes the "opportunity" to ban thousands of rifles and shotguns from .22 up, takes the opportunity to do huge coverups by destroying years of records, creates an economic disaster for Canada in debt, business closures and then raises the carbon taxes while trying to tell people what to do in every part of their lives including family get togethers (which if you have them and they catch you it is huge tickets).... control of personal property, control of the media, control of travel and the economy ... seems like they are taking the "chance" to make changes.
As for the concept I am "out of touch with" ... nope... I see it, and when you open your eyes you see boats full of mostly young men and what can only be called a social disaster for the countries they are allowed into. I just see it for what it is and am disgusted with the lies, coverups, waste and a gov't that considers a pandemic an "opportunity" and their "chance" to seize power and impose changes!

Why else would companies like Twitter, Facebook and Google openly side with the Democratic platform. Canada is no different in that the police or intelligence can easily gain access.

This country was built by immigrants, that is a fact, and immigration is essential to our future success, as we grow. ALL of our economical growth must be managed by immigrants ... our current employment base can only sustain current economy and in fact is struggling to keep up with the rapid loss of labor to retirement (of baby boomers) ... so immigration in my mind, is a must.
HOWEVER ... there's a right way to do it, and a wrong way ... hand outs seems to be the wrong way ... it's not how it was done when our fore-fathers came here ... they got their ticket to the country, but then had to WORK to put food on the table ... no hand outs.
See this article, which discusses the success of privately sponsored immigrants vs. government sponsored (who get hand outs):
"Over half of adult PSRs (52.8 percent) reported that they were currently employed in Canada, compared with just 9.7 percent of Syrian GARs."

Mark.B ... Childish? Talking about spelling mistakes? How is it any different than telling an avowed atheist that, 'I will pray for you'..... That really shows a lot of respect for my beliefs. What goes around comes around. Read anything by Robert Reich. That is the moderate socialism of which I ascribe.

By saying I will pray for you ... I am not actually imposing my beliefs onto you. By telling me I cannot pray for you ... that is imposing your beliefs onto me ... you are literally telling me I cannot do something I believe in.
By coming on here and saying how "cristen" of you ... when all I was doing is telling you to wake up because the elite doesn't care about your "Modern Socialist" dreams ... you just use it as an opportunity to attack my beliefs??
Anyhow, I honestly don't care what you think anymore (and I'm sure you don't care either) ... your dream of no one being poor or going hungry because some elitists that want to hit a "reset" button is going to make everything bad go away ... they don't care at all about that. For "Modern Socialism" I don't need to read any ideologies out of a book including anything from Robert Reich ... I look at how it plays out in real life (Cuba, USSR) when you mix in a bit of power hungry, selfish individuals who in the end only care for their own well being ... I can show you many, many models that work in theory, but fall apart the minute you introduce into the model ... humans, and their nature.

Why do you try to put words in my mouth? I did not say you couldn’t pray for me. I said it was childish to say that to someone who you know to be atheist.
