I prefer a flat rate user tax, but will settle for low taxation. Again, it's my money.
I am not rich, but the medical system is better here than there. My opinion. Socialists/pinko commies will disagree naturally.
I don't know where you get "liberal but not too liberal" from. Explain please.
Militarily, politically, and worldly powerful - yes. Empire - no. I prefer a more isolationist policy.
Thank you for misrepresenting what I said. I am middle of the road when it comes to liberal and conservative issues, but the moonbat fringe always misinterperates what I say. People like you have helped form my opinion on Canada (and leftism in general), and you're not doing anything to help improve on it. 
Nowhere in my post did I advocate an aggressive world war, so how did you come by that conclusion? |
to address a few points:
What is wrong with liberalism? Seriously other than it not being your favoured perspective, tell me what is wrong with it. And by the way, As a nation we have very strong centrist politics. We were founded by conservatives, we have liberal attitudes. In other words, the balance is working.
Capitalism: Canada is a capitalist country. We are not socialist. I don't know where you get the impression that our taxation based government programmes translate into socialist government. Are you confusing the need for a rather small population to assist each other out over a VERY large geographical area with a political system????
Medical system better there? Maybe. In some cases, but if you search on my posts, through out this forum you will find that real user experiences dispute your statement that our medical system is no good. In fact it is very good. Very very good. Of course it needs tweeking. But read and learn.
Taxation high? well we manage to work, and pay down a house and save for RRSPs. i get taxed at a fairly appropriate rate for my income. I could do with less, but then who, exactly is going to pay for the roads, railways, military (who actually need more) etc???? who???? Tell me!
Spineless?????? Fuck. Just try to go few rounds with me buddy. Spineless my ass. At any rate, go read some history.
