I don’t think they were hiding anything. Yes, but when your head of gov is openly / publicly racist..... this allows regular joes to act similar without fear of being ostracized.... Trump makes everyday racists feel their terrible views are somehow normal..... This is very dangerous for society....

Black people or minorities that defend, or support, Trump are just brainwashed.. token photos.. but this is the Canada thread lets keep it great or talk about Trudeau and his lack of ability to unite or be the shining beacon many thought he would be when I first voted for him two elections prior I drank the koolaid. Shame that his opponent was just sheer weakness this time around. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians of all parties have failed this country for 40+ years, really awful for 12-15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because being willing to be photographed with black people who have social clout doesn’t mean you can’t possibly be a racist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty damn rare to come across someone so racist that they won’t even be seen with someone of another ethnicity; particularly if there’s social capital to be gained from being around them. I guess it’s comforting for simple folk to tell themselves “well, he’s willing to be around black people, how racist can he be?” though?

Average Canadian household spent more on taxes than living costs in 2018, report finds https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-average-canadian-household-spent-more-on-taxes-than-living-costs-in/ Hey Ryan, why didn't you post the body of the article? Quote Other estimates of Canadian household tax rates are lower than the Fraser Institute’s. In 2017, the Broadbent Institute calculated that the typical Canadian family faces an effective tax rate of around 24 per cent. A key difference in methodology is that the Fraser Institute includes a number of taxes not paid directly by Canadian individuals, but that are paid by businesses and may be buried in the cost of goods. Payroll deductions paid by employers, for example, make up a portion of Fraser Institute’s family tax bill. The Fraser Institute’s number also includes taxes paid by Canadian corporations on business profits – a total of $4,726 per family. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-average-canadian-household-spent-more-on-taxes-than-living-costs-in/ Oh.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's disingenuous to consider cost of goods as part of the tax burden. Individuals pay the price set, and businesses do whatever they wish with that money. It's not a tax when my apples cost 1.99/lb, no matter how hard the Fraser Institute wishes it to be.
