brownky Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Ghostsof1915 said: Could you imagine the uproar there would be if one Province didn't have to pay federal taxes and the others did? It would be a stipulation that they would have to pay Canadian corporate tax, income tax, and GST. That's why it won't work. Canada needs to look at Sweden/Finland. Nations that pay high taxes, but you get a lot of services and bang for the buck. In Canada that would just lead to more useless bureaucrats deciding what special interest group to waste money on this time around. I used to believe that the Swe/Fin model would be a great idea to follow but I look at how it is now, where the resources go and really, me paying more so Quebec and Ontario get even more and I continue to get nothing? I already get nothing provincially because I don't live in Victoria, Lower Mainland or Okanagan. I'd rather pay less, "get less" at this point because I don't trust the politicans and bureaucrats to get it right anymore. And that goes for every last ****ing one of them, the party is irrelevant.

Gurn Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I'm fine with adding provinces and people to Canada; as long as it is done at a pace, and numbers, that ensure that the new province becomes Canada and not Canada becoming part of their province. California is out, as they have too large a population, but I see no trouble in adding 40-50 K. Would do the world a bit of good to see nations expanding without using violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I don't get it? Why? I mean it would be cool. But it seems like it would be a ridiculous expense with little to no return for Canadians. If I want to go somewhere tropical ill go somewhere tropical. I don't need to plant a Canadian flag there first. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine having a spoiled kid from overseas demanding citizenship, all the while being used to NO TAXATION. Harper did A LOT of bad things, but taking on Turks and Caicos will NOT benefit Canada. yea thats fair. In We'd have to be saving them from sea level rise too. A lot to take on for not much back for the average taxpayer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarcore Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 In theory it sounds great but having to provide them with our level of social services and not receive taxes would be asinine. They were talking about this since I was in Uni in the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattJVD Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 In the unlikely event it did join Canada, it would not be the 11th province: It would he the 4th territory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 How would you square it with it bring a BOT and that they all are British citizens. Would you strip them of that or give them additional rights. Even if they voted for it, they are a dependancy and as such the final decision would rest in Westminster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
