  • I’m ok with that if the billionaires contribute to the fund in proportion to their “paper wealth” not just available funds on hand.

    If you’re worth 5 billion on paper (including stock options, real estate holdings, etc.) you should be contributing to the fund based on that value, not whatever cash you have on hand without selling any stocks, etc.

    It also means basic which would preclude living in the most expensive areas of the country. It might mean just enough for shared accommodations and eating a lot of soup in North Ontario while helping to give the black flies a meal supplement.










  • Still not sure what Pierre thinks makes him qualified to be PM except “Not Trudeau”.

    Canada, given the political climate - is being “not Trudeau” enough to be our PM? Heck, I’m “not Trudeau” either and I’m sure I’d be better than Pierre.

    Personally I’m hoping that when Trudeau is out and presumably Carney is in, the NDP pullls the rug completely out from under the cons and says they’ll support the new liberal leadership.

    You’ll hear the cons bawling about it not being fair from coast to coast and that’s enough to be worthwhile right there.

    Jagmeet’s office isn’t too far, wonder if it’s possible for average Joe Canadian me to get a few min of his time.

    Met him once and he was very personable.
