Canada's Next Great Prime Minister - Chris Erl

I am Chris Erl, an 18 year old Hamiltonian and Canada's Next Great Prime Ministerial hopeful!

My idea to make Canada a stronger nation socially, economically and politically is to curb urban sprawl, protect our rural regions and restore the sense of community that Canadians long for. How will I do this? Create more holidays to give Canadians time to connect with one another, curb sprawl and start building smart, with the community at heart and protect our natural heritage by saving the endangered Canadian family farm and establishing more Green Belts, among other things.

Comment, debate, support, disagree, anything!

constitutional changes are not needed to give cities more power... seriously; cities have to pay for virtually everything with only one tax resource (property taxes) - I give the example of Toronto: which has to pay for everything from public housing, transit, cops, fire etc., welfare, and all the other services downloaded and but not the resources to help pay for them... this creates cuts to other vital services

yes, i agree! we need to give the power to tax to our cities! see, constitutionally, the cities are delegated to the provinces under parts 8 and 9 of Section 92 of the Constitution Act of 1867. If we constitutionally mandated that our cities could raise revenue through taxation, then we would solve the major funding issue municipalities across Canada face!

Chris, do you think dinosaurs existed 6000 years ago? I need to know if you think dinosaurs existed 6000 years ago

[ChrisErl07]

Umm...no. The Senate was not around 6000 years ago. hahaha.

as a tory i agree that the environment matters to every voter... as a prime minister I would slash immigration levels to help slash development and create more greenbelts in the rural areas in southern ontario... newcomers tend to all move to toronto or vancouver areas which causes urban sprawl eating away farmland... if they would all move spread out it wouldnt be an issue since we're a large country... brampton is one victim of urban sprawl which had the best farmland in ontario, also vaughan

[railroadtie69]

as a harper supporter i have to agree that the environment matters to every voter whether you vote tory, liberal or ndp.. dont forget our immigration levels are too high to stabilize our future and development is happening too quickly, the biggest problem is that newcommers are overcrowding southern ontario and vancouver areas eating out farmland.. i believe that slashing immigration levels will help against more housing demand and more greenbelts in southern ontario to protect the rural areas
