Here?s what the Liberals have pledged to do in office:

2. Raise Taxes on the Wealthy
The Liberals also promised a tax hike for Canada?s top 1% to pay for a tax cut for the country?s middle class. It means that anyone who earns over $200,000 would see a tax hike of around 4%, while those earning between $44,701 and $89,401 would see a cut of around 1.5%, according to the Globe and Mail.

As a part of his bid to make Canada more culturally accepting, Trudeau also vowed to put an end to the Conservatives? push for banning the niqab ? a veil that partially covers the face worn by some Muslim women ? at citizenship ceremonies, despite the fact that many Canadians were actually on board with the ban.

I heard many non-muslim Canadians on the east coast attempted to cover their faces at the voting booths during the election in protest of Trudeau's promise to end the niqab ban.

They weren't permitted to vote with their faces covered.

Funny how that works.

People may not want to talk about this because it doesn't sound nice, but the reality is, smart/successful people are not having kids at the same rate as the less smart and less successful. Western nations are going to need to figure out a way to get these people to start having kids or in a few decades things are really going to be screwy.

I have 30 cousins. About half are Ivy League types, the other half are less educated types. The Ivy League types have 0-1 kids. The less educated types have 3-6 kids.

It's some real Freakonomics shit

Sorry Canucks but whenever I think of the Great White North all I see (and hear) are Bob and Doug McKenzies with a whole lot of South Park thrown in.

Maybe because its commodity based? And Canadians are all sociliast losers so there is no point in investing in the country?

Tough times ahead. Wait until oil drops further. You people are clueless.

Calling everyone in Canada losers? Really? Some Canadian girl break your heart when you were 16 or something? Clearly you have an issue with people from Canada calling us ALL losers and clueless and more so far in this thread I got tired of reading.

And I could care less if the ecoonmy crashes, I'm paid in US dollars. Which btw has dove way more than the Canadian dollar in the last 10 years. Personally I'd like to see the Canadian dollar stay right where it is. It's good for those paid in US dollar and it's good for tourism, Americans love to visit Canada when they get 1.3 on their dollar.
