Bro, add a wealth tax and millions of Canadians will vote for you. Remove FPTP and you'll go down in history.

Or... do this. People are gullible.

Yeah, personally this made me question why a lot of these grocery and child products were taxed to begin with. I guess I never paid enough attention, I assumed a bunch were but I guess I was confusing it with PST.

Ford did the exact same thing in Ontario with plate registration fees and it got him a second term.

What a fucking joke. I will be spending my pitiful $250 and voting for the NDP.

Maybe donate your $250 to the NDP.

Absolutely not, it will be paying half my bus fare for school.
