I should hope that everyone in Canada is "anti-Trump," considering that Trump is very clearly "anti-Canada."

No, however 150 million Americans can't read at a Grade 7 level. Trump's base is uneducated white men.

When you look at this historically, yes, prices go up, but at minor rate compared to the wage increase. Minimum wage increases are more effective at lifting more people out of poverty than tax cuts—period.

Make as many excuses (as terrible as those excuses are) as you want, it is nobody's fault except the immature and low-character parents who don't know how to behave themselves. Period.

Slightly, yes, but it is still effective at lifting people out of poverty and increasing quality of life for low income earners.

A government holding workers hostage doesn't sit well with me! Time for a new provincial government!

Spending is good when it is done effectively and in places that support the well being and prosperity of residents. Blowing money on cancelling contracts unnecessarily, projects to support your billionaire buddies, and general corruption is not helpful for anything other than those in power. The Ford government has consistently used Ontario as a profit generator for their own enrichment, at the cost to all of us. The irony is that the government is UNDERspending on education, healthcare, and social programs, yet still manages to run massive deficits. I can't imagine why so many people continue to support this.

Do you know how much it costs to replace the engine of your car? Literally the same thing.

I know that is a popular conservative talking point, but you should really look into the facts. Only about 1/3 of a cent out of ever dollar the government collects goes to foreign aid (which is less than half of what the UN guideline is, by the way). The data show that we get more than what we put in back in increased trade as a result, and foreign aide is an effective bargaining chip for trade, peacekeeping, and diplomacy. On top of that, Carney actually DECREASED foreign aide in the current budget, so you should be praising this new liberal government. That being said, If you think taking that foreign aide away would make any meaningful improvement to your life, you aren't thinking critically.Trying to blame the federal Liberal government for decades of provincial under funding of healthcare is not helpful, and not honest.

Who is? Are you just being racist? Even Ford said there isn't any evidence it is happening. It is just a racist rumour.

Could you give some examples? I am fairly certain most of your concerns are under the provincial conservative government's portfolio.

I am so sick of this argument. Yes, those salaries are egregious. Yes, maybe something should be done about them. Even still, that is a drop in the bucket in terms of funding, and that conservative talking point is designed to distract against the chronic-under funding of the healthcare system in Ontario.Just think about it: If an executive makes, say, a million dollars a year, and takes an 80% pay cut, that funds less than 8 nurses' wages. Of course it would be great to have 8 more nurses, but if you think that will fix the healthcare system in any meaningful way you are delusional.
