    Absurd 5 thinks billionaires should run the world? What a knob!

    The far right fringe like Absurd 5 obviously don't believe in democracy!

    Those who create more wealth should get more votes? LOL

    So that would exclude essential workers like doctors, nurses, teachers who deliver us, take care of us and educate us.

    Which of the irrelevant political parties is running on this nonsense? None!

    It's the fringe fantasy of un-electable undemocratic wackos!

      Do you also add a caveat that business or non government salary workers who do vote Liberal and make $100k net don't get to vote?

      Sounds like your adding more layers of government.

      Don't those who serve Canada in the armed forces get a government of Canada cheque? They can fight but don't get a vote?

      So how many "boats" do you think at all levels of government are handed out every year to those with selfish interests working for the government?​
      All valid points. And great comeback on the boats typo(voice to text failure), well played.

      What alternative do you propose?

      When the majority of the population is reliant on the government, they will never vote against their own personal interests, and once a country enters that downward spiral, there is no way to vote ( or boat) your way out of it ever again.

      As we have seen in the past 4 elections in Canada, we are already into that downward spiral. Capital is fleeing, as are the people who own it. As can be seen by all economic indicators.

        Absurd 5 doesn't understand we are all reliant on the government for the rule of law and a stable functioning society that makers it possible to live a good life and prosper.

        He probably isn't doing very well so he thinks its all the governments fault?

        When you only use GDP per capita as a measure of how well off Canadians are your obviously are not well informed.

          First of all we need a government that follows the rules of law then we would have a stable functioning society. Instead we have government that rules by division.

            Such as the illegal use of the emergencies act:

            The Liberal government unreasonably invoked the Emergencies Act to clear the convoy protests that gridlocked the capital city and border points nearly four years ago, the Federal Court of Appeal said.
