We’re in a trade war.

But let’s reduce income taxes so that the government gets less money to run long-underfunded public services, maintain long-ignored public infrastructure, and fight the war. Oh, did we forget about the promise of some amount of financial support to people affected by the trade war.

Yeah, that makes sense.

So right. US is an enemy, and destroying its economy is necessary for it to reconsider.

Right direction is more centralized assistance to our economy and people. UBI with higher taxes has always been only humanist path to escape warmongering, and colonialism. Wasting money on Arctic defense systems or Ukraine proxy war on Russia is shameful. Fine, some effort to get closer to EU can happen for a few weeks, but it can’t be our only strategy. Diplomacy with China should start now.

The problem is that income tax cuts are meaningless if people lose their jobs, face months- or years-long waiting lists for medical care, or entire sectors of the economy are wiped out by the criminal occupying the White House.

Canadians also need to reserve some of their anger for politicians who are failing in more abject ways to meet the moment.

Rather than tax cuts for the richest Canadians, I’d prefer to see a plan to address the housing, affordability, and healthcare crises. I’d be happy to see tax cuts on the lowest bracket complemented by increases on the higher brackets.
