From Toronto to Vancouver, some residents are losing faith in a government social safety net that is central to the country’s identity.

What a mystery this is.

It’s absolutely a thing, most corporations are a couple people running a business, and capital flight is absolutely a fucking thing, Just look at the difference between Saskatchewan and Alberta over 50 years because of different tax/government policies with the same base conditions and people. And then look at Montana for a third perspective of the same base conditions. It is so tiring listening to people buy these asinine takes in complete rejection of reality.

Funny that you mention complete rejection of reality… Did you even read the article?

I posted it for the title, not cause I believe everything I read in it.

Well then your a fucking idiot. And I vote you off this country fuck face

Being called this by what appears to be a Liberal supporter is actually a compliment.

Once again. Corporations aren’t your friend, no matter the head count. It’s that simple. Don’t simp for people who don’t give a fuck about you or your family. Full stop.

Second. Again. Capital flight is a boogeyman. Alberta and Sask aren’t comparable. Alberta has cities, amenities and established populations, Sask doesn’t. If you want to take anything flight seriously, how about brain drain in our high paying, sought after career sectors, where we educate our population only for them to leave for better opportunities elsewhere? Doctors aren’t going to stay for the pittance, and software engineers aren’t going to keep staying for the remarkable amount of investment the government is putting to try to establish STEM in Canada because the private sector isn’t competitive with their salaries. Fuck your capital flight, if these are the corporations you’re afraid of leaving I’m more than willing to say goodbye, because the ones who fill the gaps will likely see the case studies and change course.

I’ll give you a spoiler alert. They’re not going anywhere. Just like they haven’t left Aus, NZ or the other dozen and change 1st world countries with high corporate tax rates than Canada. It’s not happening, you’re afraid of a ghost.

Alberta has all those things because what I said happened THEN, you disingenuous goof. Capital flight is brain drain, they’re one and the same.

Aus, NZ or the other dozen

They’ve all been left behind. Fuck, you need to travel.

You cantankerous fuck. You curmudgeonly prick. You beast headed moron.

You keep thinking you’re right. You do that. I don’t give a flying fuck. You are the most miserable fuck I’ve come across on here to date and exactly the type I left Reddit and Twitter behind to avoid.

I sincerely hope you fuck off. Hard.

You don’t want to talk about ideas you want people to tell you you’re right, even though you’re not, and you will take any little thing and twist it in your warped brain to make it seem right.

I’ll say this one again, preaching for your corporate overlords is going to do nothing and I mean fucking absolutely nothing for you. They aren’t going to reward you for your boot licking. They aren’t going to reward you for your deeds. They’re going to do the same thing they always do, take as much money from you as fucking possible unless held accountable.

I’m asking for that last part, and that’s fucking reasonable, because I don’t owe them a fucking thing. I don’t owe them a fucking crumb on my floor. They only get my business because I require their services and if I had more options or a cheaper way to do it I would take them, but because of people like your stupid fucking self who keep sucking them and the governments who support them and their ability to block any competition regardless of anti-competitive laws in some kind of backwards insanity, you fucking assholes have fucked us all so fucking hard and I despise you all for it.

If it weren’t for the likes of you the world wouldn’t be dying, the places I’ve visited, and yes, counter to your “travel” stupid ass quip I have travelled extensively, including almost every square metre of this great country, and I’d be able to show my family the amazing places, but no. Let’s trust the corporate overlords to self-manage, and that’ll fucking work and you keep sucking theirs dicks and telling us we’re all the fucking morons even though you’re sitting there with your cum and shit stained clothes wondering why the fuck daddy Corpo isn’t giving you a tip for your service.

Fuck you. Move to the states. I really really believe Canada needs less of you fucking pricks.

What had held Canada back for 50 years is people like you. You didn’t want to make a go of it, you bought into all that fucking nazi Tommy Douglas and his political descendants ruined this country with. You people need to be reminded you’re useless garbage every now and then. Love, some guy with a numbered corp. There’d be a 250 square mile area with out the last person hanging on providing the business i do if i did fuck off.

Holy fuck keep editing your comment for the three people that will read it and shake their heads at what a useless 10-ply shitstain you are.

I’m glad they’re giving out contraceptives for women now, maybe it means we can avoid another one of you.

nazi Tommy Douglas

Ah fuck I took the troll bait.

Go back under the bridge bitch.

so you don’t know bout his eugenics theories and his trips to Berlin in the late 30s? or why the RCMP and later CSIS watched him till he died, and the Douglas files that were supposed to be released 4 years ago were sealed for another 50 years? I’m not a troll, I’m fucking pissed and sad at the way this all has gone

Hey when you get back under the bridge can you check to see if my lure is down there?

It snapped off a while back and damn I just can’t find one like it.

Just remember every time you hear news stories about undesirable people being forcibly sterilized on reservations or institutions in Canadas recent history, Tommy Douglas’ writings on eugenics were directly responsible.

A NUMBER CORPORATION!!

Oh boy! Watch out everyone we have a big shot here, can’t get in this guy’s way, he’s got a NUMBERED CORPORATION!

They hand those out like tictacs. You’re one in a million, you’re not special, all those “lost souls” you support would just … find someone else to support them if you fucked off.

So do it. I dare you.

Fuck off. Let’s just see what happens when you leave to those poor souls.

it means i run a business, i don’t have a complete lack of understanding how this all works unlike someone here.

Uh oh. Like someone here might mean somebody. That someone might want to be careful! Or else big numbered corporation might get me! Ohhh I’m so scared!

Buddy. This is hilarious. I hope when you sit down at your desk tomorrow, you realize how much everyone makes fun of you behind your back. People like you are always the butt end of the joke.

Your business is also going to fail because nobody likes you.

Go to hell.
