i encourage you to actually read some stuff written by philosophers


I imagine you're the type who thinks these wackjob libertarian anarchist pseudo-philosophers like Michael Malice are the voice of the right wing

How about you take your own advice and read a book by an actual right wing philosopher? Start with Paul Johnson

True I doubt he has, not sure why he didn't name any of these so called right wing anarchists. Must be referring to Ayn Rand and her ilk

Canadian Right, which is probably USA Left. Fairly selfish about protecting self interests / wealth after the first round of taxes, (would like to see capital gains tax on a tiered approach and significantly reduced) but don't take that much issue with paying an initial 47% tax on earnings to see things like free healthcare, well funded public schools, etc. Id certainly rather pay less tax though and see Canada implement a high estate transfer tax / death tax essentially.

Would agree - Canadian right.

Need them to get back to simplifying the tax code, less overall taxes, more business friendly landscape and to stop ballooning the government.

The small business landscape is getting harder and harder, personal taxes are becoming overly complicated with new legislation, and, limiting or imposing fines to tax accountants for tax planning fees is ridiculous.

Trudeau had his time, he needs to go. That being said PP is no good either, but, at this point, conservatives need a win.

it's funny to listen to canadians talk about the usa, meanwhile they're protected under our umbrella because they're in our frozen hoth backyard.

Not sure if you're referring to us above, or just some generalist statement posted in the wrong topic. Neither of us even mentioned anything about the USA aside from myself suggesting that our Left and Right political spectrum does not line up with the USA's.
