    What part of Ontario? I have been going there every year just about for 42 years for vacation. There is a lake called Calabogie, in Renfrew County. It is about 80 km west of Ottawa. Fishing, drinking, swimming and drinking. Did I mention drinking?

     

    I lived in a town called Brockville right on the St. Lawrence/ USA border about an hour south of Ottawa.  I used to snowboard at Calabogie every winter haha

    My great grandfather, grand father and my mom went there for vacations each summer fishing bass and walleye. My son is the fifth generation going there. There are cabins down the road from the Calabogie peaks called Jockos.

     

     

    It's a beautiful area, I always enjoyed going up there

    Welcome to paradise*. Early September weather always throws a slice of hell at us to remind us who's in control. Then we get nice weather for a few weeks. Where did you move to?

     

     

     

     

     

     

    *paradise is 100% subjective

     

    Airdrie, just north of Calgury

    no tax on foods, medical or owned property. This means that no one can take away what you bought and paid for regardless of your future hardships.

     

    amen brother

     

    I would agree with this whole heartedly.

     

     

    Ah yes, the good old "as long as i'm fine, i don't care what happens to the rest of the world"

     

    Yeah, just as the political forum, i'm distancing myself of this conversation.

     

    Could you please explain the relationship between what you said and what Preacher said? How is always having a shelter over your head without worrying about foreclosure or being able to afford food and medicine without it being heavily taxed the same as saying, "As long as I'm fine, I don't care what happens to the rest of the world"?

     

    The people in foreclosure or the ones that can't afford to eat dinner are the ones MORE likely to not care what happens to the rest of the world, and with good reason.

     

     

     

    You're mostly likely working about lower and worker class since worker class is literally almost gone comparing to old days in Socialism and yes, also in US. If you look every charts, richer got even more richer. Plain and simple.

     

    And even if people barely make even over month, some or most of them (pick one) don't care about for those who are in even bigger debts, because human logic goes : If that rich, filthy bastard or politics won't care about lower class, why I should? I have problems too, while rich people don't have any.

     

    Guess people will still follow and listen overly paid congressmen and politicans, but don't have single benefits from it, except those at sink.

     

     

     

    P.S.: I can't see any no tax logic in food, property and medical one. So, those who are already overly rich, won't have to pay normal or additional tax? And US citizen complain why their health care and tax system isn't stable? Oh man.

     

    If they're "overly rich" I doubt paying or not paying taxes on food, medicine, or their property will make much difference to their bank accounts. Those who ARE having trouble or working near minimum wage to support a family will benefit much more than the overly rich.

     

    If for some reason the overly rich lose everything and their house goes into foreclosure I'm not going to laugh in their face and say, "That's what you get!". I think they would deserve the same leniency of no food, medicine, or property tax as everyone else.

     

    While I think it's ridiculous the amount of money some people make, I'm not standing outside their mansions so I can point and laugh at them if they lose it all. The rich are rich, that's great. I want to look at the opposite side of the spectrum. While I don't think the government should be giving them handouts I think the government can be more lenient when it comes to taxing the things they should rightfully own.

     

     

    That's how I think it should be. Example: my car is paid off in full, if I come on hard times and can't afford to insure it or something nobody comes along and physically takes it away, I still technically own the vehicle. Maybe my thought process is over simplistic but housing should be the same.
