I thought there would be enough lost seats in Ontario to affect his majority.

Farmers are also pretty anti the tax bill, or so my FB feed tells me, talking of tax rates of 75%

You should look at the sources your FB friends are using. That 75% figure is exactly what the Tory playbook has put out there, and while it's not completely made-up, the contortions you'd have to go through to be taxed at 75% are ludicrous. In short, if an incorporated entity paid corporate taxes, invested everything that remained - without spending a dime on anything to grow the business or hire people or any of that sort of capitalist nonsense - and took every cent of that as income at the end of a 25-year term, then the total tax rate on that income would indeed be an effective 75%. But frankly, if that's the way you run a business, or a farm, then you bloody well deserve to be hit with a 75% tax. And, since there are more tax breaks along the way for business investment, the total amount of money you have at the end would be exactly the same as if a non-incorporated individual had invested the same amount.

There was, indeed, a news story a week or so ago about how the proposed tax changes would make it cost-prohibitive for a farmer to sell the business as a going concern to a family member of the next generation - but there is a specific exemption for exactly that scenario which the Opposition spokespeople conveniently forgot to mention when briefing the media.

I maintain that, by October 2019, people will have realized that it's actually quite a reasonable package of tax reforms and the much-vaunted "middle classes" (whoever they are) will likely be a little bit better off as a result.

FWIW, the Libs don't hold all that many rural ridings in Ontario. Much of the north west is orange, cottage country, rural Niagara and the farmlands of the south west are largely blue; the liberal strongholds are in the GTA and around the lake to Hamilton.

According to the National Post, The Canadian Nurses Association supports the changes.

There has been somewhat of a 'backlash' here with a bunch of docs collectively signing a letter agreeing with the changes.

I don't see a problem with this. Brown made several comments, on the record, which seem at first glance to be (a) defamatory and (b) demonstrably false. He has been given the requisite amount of time to withdraw those comments, but has chosen not to do so.

Agreed, most people know she was not actually on trial herself, but dosnt this just jog the memory of the public tho highlighting that her gang are bad people

Former Lancastrian

They can be bad as they are the Liberal Party of Ontario (Provincial not Federal).
Even if they were Federal we know Liberals don't lie, spin, obfuscate, or whatever other word you choose. We elected them as they are honest and honourable people and they always represent their constituents even if they sometimes disagree between themselves. Liberals have always been free to vote the way they choose and not been whipped to vote along party lines.

And to think the PC's and NDP and Green Party members dare to question their credibility and intentions

BristolUK

Attributes present in one party and none of the others

Former Lancastrian

Well that would be like saying Politicians of all parties do it and if they do why do we continue voting for them
We can't be too critical of the NDP or Greens as they have never been elected as the ruling party in Canada.

Ever heard a Politician give a straight answer to a question?
