[SK21]

Here is a good explanation of Trudeau and the Paradise papers: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/paradise-papers-justin-trudeau-s-chief-fundraiser-linked-to-offshore-tax-manoeuvres-1.3280733

Force all that money back to Canada and have them invest that money here in green energy. That should be a non issue as I would think the majority who are Canadians listed in the paradise papers also avidly support climate change .
It's a win win ..... unless they don't really truly believe in what they preach when it comes to their money . It would be interesting to bring up in House of Commons and see what kind of response from JT and gang lol

Good points.

Yes force them to put their $ where there mouth is solar/wind power or the very well ran Quebec company called Bombardier. 😂

One gets tired of the hypocrisy by some of these public figure heads telling us what to do and how we should pay tax's for climate change and invest in Canada.
Then you see all this money in off show tax shelters by the same politicians , of all stripes, and people like chuck wonder why we oppose canon tax and other tax changes . It's not that we don't understand climate change , it's the hypocrisy of who pays and who gets to hide their money away . That's the issue .
"Do as I tell you , not as I do"
If JT and his followers are so adamant on climate change and tax reforms .... that's where I agree 100% Oliver .... put your money where your mouth is.

I find it odd that those held in high regard in Canada don't invest in their own country....


Why not pay taxes and have better infrastructure?

Why not have a better railway system to compete with Cn and Cp that do sfa to improve logistics and are happy to move 1960 crop production and pay shareholders that move money to tax havens....


We are on our way to third world status because it doesn't matter if you are a dictator or a wealthy person.....if you don't invest in people and infrastructure of your own country ...it's doomed to fail.

Watch the FSU, argentina and other countries kick our ass. .....mostly due to the fact Canada hasn't kept pace with infrastructure.


Sure we are furthest from port but that doesn't mean we couldn't have a competitive logistics system in this country....

Wealthy Liberals and Laurentian elites don't have any sense of guilt for moving their wealth out of Canada. They don't think it's patriotic to invest in Canada, or pay taxes in Canada(or anywhere as far as that goes), rather they think paying taxes is for westerners and the little people, and as far as spending in Canada,,,,well that's something for the federal government to do,,,, with others money, not theirs!

Can anyone actually believe the bravado and arrogance of Justin Trudeau and Bill Morneau, that they would so publically attack small business people, calling them tax cheats, while knowing the slimy, underhanded, tax avoidance their closet friends implement!

Makes me wonder whether Justin Trudeau, or any of his trust funds or numbered companies have any off shore investments to avoid Canadian taxes?

Has this question been asked of him?

More tid bits ....

Good points Danny

Held in high regard??? Really. Maybe it's the greasy pricks that made me cynical!!! Boyd is invisible and I can't see how that slimy two faced hypocrite Morneau can show his face in public.... step down!

Then there's that A-hole PM who is in way over his head! Like someone said.... a trust-fund baby who never really had to hold a real job to earn a living! He's there because of WHO he is not WHAT he is.... have a little humility man!

Then there's all the others with their snout in the public trough or waiting for a golden parachute job.... they can't call out the others because its hard to call someone else a pig when your snout is in the same trough!

High regard my ASS. (sorry bucket rant over)
