Taxes are a requirement. We have to stop pretending that having the essential social services covered will not come with a price. If you are in one of the top tax brackets you should pay more. Anyone that makes you believe that living on half of $250,000 a year is difficult, should leave the country. When a family spends as much money a month on their credit card as some families live on for a year, then we are not living in a balanced society. Plus look at your provincial tax grabbers.
I love it how the Canadians Against Higher Taxes are not willing to pay extra taxes but are willing to pay for the production of an attack ad that we already know bout
@newtonbrook Well he is proposing to bring the taxes up to 16.5%. I other words he wants to keep the tax level the same as 2010. Harper in 2011 wants to bring that down for the second time to 15%. So if Canadians were already used to paying an already low and competitive tax % then why do we need to decrease that further. Don;t forget that its b/c of harper we have a 56 billion deficit. During liberals canadians enjoyed a decade of budget surplus.
@sabbirsa Several problems, first of all there was the world wide reccession which hit canada, that contributed to the deficit. Second, he is cutting programs in certian areas (not medical) but corperate taxes including a 315 million cut to the oil companies. Your trying to paint Harper as a republican, name 1 republican who says to cut tax breaks to the oil companies! yes there is a deficit canadian alrealdy pay alot of taxes, it's time to reform healtcare (NOT remove it, reform it)
@Greginda11 we do not pay a lot of taxes. in fact we have the lowest tax rate amongst all the OECD countries. and the deficit started long before the recession. In fact the deficit started to come across after the 2% cut in GST which actually did almost nothing to avg family and household. The recession helped it o up a little. That is all. and the fact still remains that the reason why our banking industry remained unaffected by the recession is b/c of the regulations during liberal era.
@Greginda11 also I find your comment about health care incredulous. Harper is he same individual who at one point ran a citizens group who were against the universal health care system in canada. either you are ignorant or maybe you don't know how to research. also He is doing the same thing the republicans did. He is cutting that amt of money to the oil companies in Alberta (which happens to be his riding lol). Anyways ciao.
@Greginda11 also the liberals did inherit a huge deficit from the mulroney era which they had successfully turned into a surplus and sustained that for a decade. not to mention their efficient bank and financial laws which saved canadian banks from the recession.
@sabbirsa yes the liberals did a good job managing the the country finances sponsership scandal aside. however just because that part can do it doesn't mean that the conservatives can't, I will wait and see what they have done with the economy in 2014, if they waste, bring up deficit than we have a problem, however i think that there needs to be changes to healthcare, but i don't think ANY party is willing to make those changes needed... that goes for liberals, conservatives and NDP
@Greginda11 lets check the history shall we? Remember R. B. Bennett and his disastrous handling of the great depression and not to mention Mr. Brian Mulroney and his disastrous handling of the Canadian economy which the Liberal successfully cleaned up. and BTW you did not provide anything to support your views. what you are doing is relying on an instinct and there is no room for it. next time before you speak do some research. If I can do it so can you.
@Greginda11 I live in Ontario and our provincial govt at one point was the conservative party. and the health care during their era was disastrous. Cutbacks on every single level including firing of very qualified nurses. I am not saying that the liberals are good at managing health care but during the liberal era of federal politics we had sustainable funding for health care and every province was successfully able to sign a health care accord which expires in 2014.
We know what Ignatieff is...another Mcguinty... two faced Liers. IGGI's an American running for a Canadian political post ! with absolutely no interest for Canadians but his own. As for the BLOC ! Canadians must wake the HELL UP ! ! ! & lock these guys away for treason ! Canada is a "beautiful" place, but beauty is only skin deep. Like most, I'm sick & disgusted of seeing too many politicians on a daily basis !, steeling our money & getting away with it ! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ! ! ! !
Fuck I hate old conservative fucking idiot seniors....thinking they can run deficits indefinitely. Who the fuck do you think has to pay for all your fucking government programs that you want.
Thanks for passing on this $550 billion national debt to my generation ya fucking stupid fucks. High tax rates are needed to pay it down....along with massive program cuts.
We all know what Ignatieff is . . . nothing more than a complete lier, an American running for a Canadian political post ! and has absolutely no interest for Canadians but for his own. And as for the BLOC ! when will all Canadians finally wake up & lock these guys away for treason !

This sickening, lying AD shows the true face of neo-conservative Toryism. They rely on lies & half-truths. They use character assassination. They think we're stupid. I'm starting to like Mr Ignatieff. If Harper & his law breaking thug MPs who ran money illegally through riding bank accounts to circumvent Canadian elections laws--AND THEN CLAIMED TAX REBATES ON THE MONEY--if these shifty little fascists hate Mr Ignatieff so much, he must be doing something right. Harper is a liar & a sneak.
All the folks out there don't mean to make waves but question....Do you like our country, the whole country, not just Alberta or Quebec, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, being in debt....having to cut program after program...to fuel other programs till those programs themselves have their funding cut and we have one massive financial implosion?
@TheDandyAndy1 It will take more money from you and give it to the goverment to waste. Everything you and I do creats carbon, so reduce. In fact tax everything so much everything is made somewhere else.
@TheDandyAndy1 Thank god we got rid of the crazy carbon shaft idea of Dion's and Iffy's! Mr. Harper is keeping the Canadian economy on the right course and I know I will be voting for him in the next election.
Anyone who would even consider voting for this tax-hiking greedy asshole should have his/her head examined....this guy is nothing but another Dalton McSquinty who's interest is just to raise taxes and make Canadians struggle even more than they are now........THIS SON-OF-A-BITCH NEEDS TO BE JAILED INDEFINITELY....
This is just great. Now we get to demonstrate through the power of networking technology just how infantile we can be. Yes folks, the Canadian government spends its time making ad after ad slamming a political opponent and member of the legislature. The other point: we're not even in an election yet. Go figure.
he is awful... not that it will make a difference who sits in that ceremonial office... Fabian gradualism has seized our country... the water is boiling and we must hop out!
@dakotabluek That's one of the most racist things I've heard. Whether a Canadian is born in Canada, or outside, no one has the right to "send him home".
It is because of the coup started by the liberals, NDP and block that we are going back into debt now. Even as they complain about the debt they want the government to spend more money. I really believe that being a liberal or NDPer is a mental problem and they should seek help.
I would not have bailed out the auto sector nor tried to spend my way out higher unemployment, the country will work things out by it's self. Don't spend my kids money for nothing.
It's a shame that politicians are scared to mention tax hikes. Wasteful spending is of course bad, but last time I checked, the Government of Canada had a debt level of 450 Billion, which should break the 500 billion level if the current budget forecasts remain true in the next two years. A prosperous Canada will be one that is debt free, hopefully we can accomplish this by 2025.
Wake up. We live in a privileged society and that isn't free. Maybe in the future, your average Canadian won't be able to afford a cottage at the lake and a second SUV but that beats the the cost of lowering taxes to the point that we have to live surrounded by strife or leaving future Canadians bankrupt due to our greed.
Ignatieff is just another guy like Dalton McGuinty who couldn't hack it in the big time coming back to inflict his super-sized ego on us long suffering Canucks he abandoned so many years.
@unasman They do thou because we have had liberals in power for to long and thiers alot of tax its opposite for americans thiers like no tax at all,we need conservatives here.
LET OUR KIDS DEAL WITH IT!? What the fuck. This is not the states. We are going to go into the red to safe our economy, and not that far by the way. We're not taking on trillions of debt. We'll pay for it when the economy recovers, people get hired and people get taxed.
Let our kids deal with it? Give me a break. We'll be in the black in less than 4 years. I can't say the same for the Americans. DO NOT RAISE TAXES, KEEP PEOPLE SPENDING AND WORKING!
@Zabby1982 how's this for context: perhaps harper & flaherty were right when they said that the "worldwide financial crisis" wouldn't affect canada like the u.s. & the e.u.? and maybe if they had a majority unthreatened by a leftist coup, they wouldn't have run up the deficit that the opposition asked them to? kind of hypocritical to force a stimulus package and then bitch about a deficit, no?
"We will have to raise taxes" - to pay for the big debt that's being racked up to bring us out of recession, is the full context
Perhaps you would like to run deficits forever and let our children deal with it? Or perhaps you don't support attempting trying to get out of recession?
Harper is a big cheat who wants only to make Canada more like America
Ignatieff wants to raise taxes 2 years ago!!! Times have changed
