Yeah, some kind of legislation here would be nice. At least the credit card companies aren’t as entrenched as in the states.

That’s one thing to add to the list to boycott the US. Stop using visa and mastercard and use debit instead.

Ranked choice will fundamentally change how the representative is regarded after elected. Too many are elected with 30 or 40% currently.

I’m for a wealth tax, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense to tax gifts and inheritance than try to keep track of the largest and most complicated wealth portfolios in Canada.

MacroCyclo@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•US Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs, ruling them illegal - Canada (and other) tariffs set to end in 10 days.31·2 months agoWild. I thought this would happen. He tried putting on the tariffs with a flimsy reasoning (fentanyl) and since in reality there is no fentanyl problem coming from Canada they were deemed illegal.
All he needs to do is get congress to pass this. They have a majority in both houses, if you want these tariffs, do it the proper way.
I think this misses the point. Whether it is a service or not, it needs to be run well so we don’t end up wasting our tax dollars. It seems to be losing far more money than ever before and there should be consequences for that. There are basic reforms that should have been implemented that are now costing us.

Anyone have an idea on what policy changes have lead to capital becoming more productive than wages? This is a very troubling situation. Labour drives the economy, not capital.
