To be fair, I know people from Ontario who had to travel to Buffalo for diagnostics, because they had to wait for over 9 months in Ontario, and the cost of few thousand dollars was not that great to them.

Will be funny if "wise" Canadians will elect liberals for another term - get that Trump!

How is this a bait - comparing to the evil globalists with performative reformist policies that are factually neo-liberal, even PP is better.

It just creates a two tier system where luck few who managed to get government jobs enjoy full benefits, indexed salaries, etc and the rest have to do precarious gigs at temp agency with night shift at minimum wage. If so called "socialists" cared about ALL working people, I would have less problems with this. Another problem is that a lot of government services like TTC are very expensive, but also very inefficient - I don't know if you use TTC and were able to use public transport in other countries - we get charged premium prices for subpar services.

That a weird reaction... What history? Nothing to add to the point? What would be bad in economic free trade union? Lots of Canadians I talked to are dreaming of moving to the states, BTW - lower cost of living and higher wages.

I don't think it is forceful - Trump said it would be economic - I guess offering "deal" Canada cannot refuse. I think he is bluffing at this point - clearly this is just in his head. If there is a concrete plan of some EU-style economic union with mostly political autonomy, I think it may be beneficial to Canada - the reality is that Canada cannot prosper without relying on the USA.

I think a municipal sales tax is technically possible.

As usual, Chow misleads the public - the biggest increase goes to the most generous ever public-union contracts, and I don't think that this will make TTC run better or the streets cleaner.
