The city should buy the plaza and bulldoze downtown. This would allow everyone downtown to open small shops there, likely earning them more money.

THE PAIKIN PODCAST: The wealthiest people in Canada should pay more tax

Taxing the wealthy seems like a great concept for those who chose to do nothing and blame everyone else. No government should take more than 50% of a person’s income.

VIDEO: Are you a student who depends on OSAP? Your debt load is about to soar

When I got OSAP a hundred years ago, I'm pretty sure the grant to loan ratio was close to the reverse, even though I had come from a very low income single parent household. However, I am not going to say that what was good enough for me is good enough for others.Post secondary education should be free for every Canadian, just as it is in many EU countries.

'This is not right': Former refugee questions change to student loans

SooToday

Everybody wants a handout. If you have to work for something, and earn it, it has value. That is especially true of an education.When I went to university, I took a degree that actually led to a professional designation and a career. I worked 2 jobs in the summer and 2 part-time jobs during the school year at the university. OSAP loans paid for the balance. And, on graduating, I paid back those student loans with interest. Life turned out just fine. There are many others out there who did similar things. It's just how people did it. And most of us were first generation Canadians, whose families worked hard and had little to nothing in savings or "extra" cash.They would all tell you it was difficult at times, but whining about not being given a handout (i.e. a grant) didn't accomplish anything.Quit complaining about not being given everything for "free" - because nothing is "free".

This is old news, and it’s not as big a concern as people are making it out to be. Gotta get up-to-date with the news. I’m just hearing this right now as this is being posted.

THE PAIKIN PODCAST: The wealthiest people in Canada should pay more tax

Canada would get greater benefit by cutting civil servant jobs that provide limited economic productivity / limiting the unions reach for select project management positions so they can hire the right people to manage million/ billion dollar contracts / work with subcontractors to get the job done rather than having these extremely risk adverse and wordy contracts that can easily lead to all parties loosing.

We are not providing any more resources or accomplice in global corruption to this government. Canada is broke because millions of us STOPPED paying taxes several years ago.

So by saying “some of us” are you admitting of not paying taxes? If so you’re the problem.

Nothing provided by government is free, the money comes from taxpayers and ever increasing debt.
