  1. I wish NDP were socialist, they are not. NDP are about 30 years behind on what needs to be done. What they need to do is tax is offer universal job guarantee and free education, nationalization of gas, oil and telecom industries, it should be a government policy to stop outsourcing jobs and making workers be part of board of directors of corporations as it’s done in Germany. I order to pay for those programs they need to tax the rich dramatically and reduce taxes for the middle class. Billionaires should be taxed at 100%, what NDP offered is miserly tax of 1% on those who have a fortune of $20 million which is just a drop in the bucket. Because of COVID, 3 million Canadians lost jobs a lot of small businesses went under and billionaires made $53 billion within just a few months of 2020. There is no party in Canada that is socialist and NDP is just another capitalist party spotlighting as workers’ party - it’s not. NDP are as useless as Democrats in the US. All they care about is getting elected.

  4.  @brucecourtney3320  It's the same thing as in the US. Hey everybody vote for Democrats because Republicans are real a-holes and then Democrats get elected and they do absolutely nothing, blame other parties and when they lose they blame Russia.

  7.  @harleysrocknrollchat  NDP may be better than Liberals. It not significant enough but it’s again a choice of lesser of 2 evils like in American elections. There was a person at my work on my treat who passed away last year. Another friend of mine from work has just had a stroke and wound up in the hospital because the job that I am doing is toxic, it’s so stressful it makes people sick and despite the company making billions dollars worth of profits and buying another company as an acquisition for over a billion dollars the management team keep telling us that they had to do it because they have to stay competitive. It’s all BS, the CEO of our company and the board of directors are sociopaths. I spoke to my friend in a hospital and he said if he dropped dead, they would just outsource his job and that would be it. They only care about profits for themselves and making themselves rich. Everyone at my work are stressed out, depressed and burned out. I get so mad at all these useless politicians making speeches about “how much they care about working people and making rich pay their fair share.” They only care about getting elected and that’s it. NDP is just another capitalist party with corporatist incrementalism agenda. All they offer is platitudes and virtue signalling.There is no socialist party in Canada. All politicians are grifters.

  8.  @Bob-1374  Where will the rich go? To the US? The US is going down the toilet right now. To European countries like Europe? The taxes are higher there too? Are they going to go to dictatorship countries like Singapore and Saudi Arabia. Go ahead! Let them go! I just spoke to. nurse about Jeff Bezos and we came out at the same joke because Bezos, Elllon Musk and Branson all wanted to go to space. We should put all billionaires into a huge canon and blast them all to space. Exactly the same joke that Jeffrey Sachs was making and got an ovation.

  10.  @Bob-1374  I have heard that stupid talking point about rich people leaving from my work many times and I have always said how brainwashed can you be with this stupid corporate talking point about billionaires leaving. It’s people who still watch MSM and think they are real news. What government can do is very simple. You want to leave? Fine! We will tax you at 80% on all the money you want to take out of the country. Now you can GTFO, you BS patriots! The only problem is that all the parties are corrupt and none of them are socialists.

  11.  @Bob-1374  In the past 25 years the wages for Chinese workers quadrupled and in Canada the the past 20 years the number of billionaires went from 18 to over 100. It's very simple where the money goes. It's not complicated at all. Have your waged quadruped in the past 25 years? I worked for the same company for over 10 years and my wages increased only by 2% a year which is just a cost of inflation but my stress level, my job responsibility, my targets have quadrupled or quintupled. During 1950s the US had the strongest working class. If you ever watched 'Honeymooners' or 'I love Lucy' there was a nuclear family; a husband worked and a wife stayed home and took care of the kids. The productivity increased by more than 1000% since then but now both parents work and they can barely keep their head above the water. Again, it's not complicated at all. The reason for that is because during Eisenhower who was a Republican president the tax rate on the wealthy was 95% and if you ever checked the Canadian federal taxes. The highest taxes in Canada is 26% on people making $220k or more. So what about people who make $500k, $1m, $5m and so on. I spoke to NDP people during election election season(that's the only time they are interested in your opinion) and they said they are against trickle down economics and I told them their tax plan says they are not. In Europe right now Iceland, Germany, Spain, New Zealand switching to 4 day week and their productivity actually increased. The workers in those countries work 32 hrs a week and they get paid for 40 hours a week. Yes, I am a socialist and a lot of people agree with me now at work. I have converted them because they will only benefit from what I am suggesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v5aqpYeh10&t=2s&ab_channel=TheTakeoverwithJustinJackson

  14.  @Bob-1374  In 2020, at the beginning of COVID, the US had 20% unemployment but the stock market didn't crash? Why? Explain that to me, you millionaire a-hole?

  15.  @Bob-1374  And because of psychopaths like you, I know it’s a good idea to tax the rich at 100% - not just billionaires. God forbid they start bribing politicians like they do in the US. It’s already happening in Canada.

  16.  @Bob-1374  1) I haven’t watched CBC or CNN for the past 6 years. 1) I have never been on welfare or unemployment. I owed some student debt but I paid it off 3) I don’t eat junk food. You talking about leaches, it was most likely projection.
