    Carney takes cautious approach to Trump’s invitation to join ‘Board of Peace so called #PeaceBoard, which is actually a massive grift by tRump ($1billion you join) and all the money goes to tRump personally, not you the US government, secondly the most prominent members besides tRump include Putin, Luschenk, Orban and other #Tyrants. Carney we should not be joining the #NAZIs we should be punching them in the nose! Stop trying to appease tRump, tell him to Fuck Off!

    Why do I keep saying that landowners are the ones that should pay higher taxes?

    It's because it doesn't make sense to me that land ownership should be respected for "not paying into the system".

    Like, if you want to play this silly game that little boys play of territorialism in elementary school playgrounds, where they draw imaginary boundaries, then by all means do so.

    But for people who didn't consent to it, you gotta have a good reason why the respect for imaginary boundaries should be enforced.

    To make it really easy: don't tax improvements; just land ownership.

    The Reddit comments regarding the following post are calling out how it is absolutely fair that BC assessment has reclassified Big Bang Cider's land use as "light industrial", but I don't think land use should be taxed more.

    Just land occupation should be taxed, and nothing else.

    (Of course, I'm probably the "anti-tax (except land)" equivalent of marxists: I'm probably missing nuance.)

  12. CW: Canadian politics and immigration

    RE: techhub.social/@manlycoffee/11

    (Re-posting, but different, because I just found out today that my server supports quote-boosting.)

    I wrote this parable to criticize Canada's immigration situation.

    During heightened immigration, whenever I'd raise concerns that we're bringing in too many people without offering the proper support structures, I'd get accused of being a xenophobe.

    Fast forward to a housing crisis, and increased youth unemployment rate, now people have unfortunately become jaded against immigrants, even though newcomers do not deserve the hate.

    That, and the government has now slammed on the breaks on immigration.

    This cut in immigration numbers is bad.

  14. Look, I'm not going to deny that the GENIUS Act has major flaws, but I really, really hope that there are regulations on stablecoins, rather than say "haha, blockchains are a scam, therefore we shouldn't regulate that stuff."

    Are you hearing yourself?

  15. I keep hearing that reddit.com/r/canada is a right-wing haven.

    I'm not seeing it, based on this thread about Canada rescinding the Digital Services Tax (DST).

    The DST is absolutely stupid, and should have never been enacted.

    We hate Americans for instituting a tariff?

    Canadians are not innocent, and it's not OK. It's just another pot calling the kettle black.

    Previously, I have complained about leftists doing stupid stuff, but when someone makes an intelligent comment about why leftists are not actually stupid, I immediately back down.

    But this, I'm definitely digging my heels on.

    It's a hill I'm willing to die on.

    This is an infuriating interview. I have a lot of (dwindling...?) respect for Jesse Brown and echo his concerns about rising antisemitism, however I understand the basic fact that "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" in no way procludes the simultaneous freedom of Jewish people in the same territory.

    Dismissing the whole Pro-Palestinian movement because there are real instances of antisemitism at decentralised protests gets us no closer to peace because the systems of racism will be reflected in individuals in movements until racism is extinguished. The movement itself, its concerns and demands are not antisemitic. The racism is real though and must be dealt with, as too must we deal with the genocide and the occupation.

    In this sorry excuse of an interview, Jesse doesnt even refer to the occuparion as such. Jesse also fails to push back when the Ambassador is flippant and dismissive about Isreal being labaled "colonialist," but Isreal is committing textbook settler colonialism (which surely Jesse knows) and that is the root of the problem.
