Heavily pro-union, Pro low small buisness tax, pro heavily progresssive income tax

2018-07-17 08:55:18 UTC

Ah. there we go. A Union party.

2018-07-17 08:55:32 UTC

er. labor union party.

2018-07-17 08:55:50 UTC

Though low taxes on small business is unusual.

2018-07-17 08:55:58 UTC

Maybe. But its coherent.

2018-07-17 08:57:52 UTC

"Kick-start the economy and build needed infrastructure, starting with:
? Cutting taxes for Canadaโ€™s job creators by reducing the small business tax from
11 to 9%.
? Supporting innovation and investment in companies creating jobs in Canada,
with an early focus on the aerospace, automotive, forestry and mining sectors.
? Creating jobs and building our economy with $1.5 billion per year in new
infrastructure funding to municipalities to fix roads, bridges and water
treatment systems."

Was watching Tim's video from a few days ago in which he mentioned Directive 51 again

2018-07-17 08:59:43 UTC

Each time he mentions it, he tends to leave out the part about a mass casualty, government-interrupting event that forms the prerequisite for it

2018-07-17 09:00:14 UTC

Sure, that happened

2018-07-17 09:00:19 UTC

But that changes fuck all for me honestly

2018-07-17 09:00:24 UTC

The bill's fucking atrocious

2018-07-17 09:00:27 UTC

```"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions;```

2018-07-17 09:00:43 UTC

Oh

2018-07-17 09:00:47 UTC

'Directive' 51?

2018-07-17 09:00:50 UTC

That isnt Canada?

2018-07-17 09:00:53 UTC

Nevermind me.

2018-07-17 09:01:02 UTC

I thought of C-51.

2018-07-17 09:01:03 UTC

Sorry, I kind of came in here with my own topic in mind

2018-07-17 09:01:47 UTC

Though speaking of Canada, my big issue with how Tim talks about Directive 51 is how it requires something so ungodly catastrophic to occur before it can even be an option on the table,

2018-07-17 09:01:58 UTC

in contrast to a place like Canada, where the Queen could dismiss your parliament tomorrow

2018-07-17 09:02:19 UTC

That... No.

2018-07-17 09:02:27 UTC

We wouldnt stand for that ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-07-17 09:02:33 UTC

She knows it, we know it.

2018-07-17 09:02:51 UTC

In 1975.

2018-07-17 09:03:01 UTC

Nearly half a century ago

2018-07-17 09:03:03 UTC

Australia had their duly elected prime minister dismissed due to little more than bad poll numbers and a gridlocked legislature

2018-07-17 09:03:15 UTC

and Australia just laid down and took it

2018-07-17 09:03:29 UTC

And then the minority party's leader was put into power as head of government

2018-07-17 09:03:46 UTC

Sounds interesting

2018-07-17 09:04:01 UTC

and as far as I know, this is an area where Canada and Australia have virtually identical laws

2018-07-17 09:04:06 UTC

The Queen meddled with us in the past a bit, but it was mostly political bullshit our politicians were asking for.

2018-07-17 09:04:13 UTC

Canada's armed forces swear allegiance to the Queen personally

2018-07-17 09:04:17 UTC

as do Canadian politicans

2018-07-17 09:04:19 UTC

Yes, because we were both previously colonies

2018-07-17 09:04:26 UTC

I cant say you're wrong in terms of laws

2018-07-17 09:04:30 UTC

so they cannot, legally, object to her exercising her full authority

2018-07-17 09:04:37 UTC

But in terms of practice i staunchly believe you're way off.

2018-07-17 09:04:48 UTC

We can illegally, very loudly object to it

2018-07-17 09:04:50 UTC

And we would

2018-07-17 09:05:02 UTC

nah, Canada is cucked

2018-07-17 09:05:09 UTC

you'd kneel to the queen

2018-07-17 09:05:21 UTC

I find it hard to believe that Canada is independent of the UK bearing these factors in mind

2018-07-17 09:05:36 UTC

Really, it depends on the circumstance.

2018-07-17 09:05:47 UTC

If Canada were itself too divided to act, it probably wouldn't.

2018-07-17 09:05:59 UTC

If what she did had wide popular approval

2018-07-17 09:06:02 UTC

You're probably right

2018-07-17 09:06:10 UTC

That was the case with Australia

2018-07-17 09:06:27 UTC

Doesn't even need wide popular approval. Just enough to make revolt inpractical.

2018-07-17 09:06:38 UTC

however you define 'revolt'

2018-07-17 09:06:45 UTC

The prime minister was unpopular enough that the people didn't complain when a perfectly law-abiding politician was suddenly and swiftly ejected from the office they were duly elected to serve in

2018-07-17 09:06:48 UTC

at least according to polling

2018-07-17 09:07:09 UTC

Even if the people DID revolt, it's not like the Canadian armed forces swear allegiance to Canadian law

2018-07-17 09:07:14 UTC

or people

2018-07-17 09:07:17 UTC

or politicians

2018-07-17 09:07:17 UTC

But in practice the Queen doesnt excercise a whole lot of power here, and if she did try to do something widely unpopular she'd be putting herself in a precarious situation i imagine

2018-07-17 09:07:22 UTC

They swear allegiance only to the Queen

2018-07-17 09:07:36 UTC

But she DID exercise this power in practice in 1975

2018-07-17 09:07:41 UTC

So what's to stop her from doing it again?

2018-07-17 09:07:48 UTC

Yeah, but show me a Canadian that'd actually answer to the Queen instead of the nation when it mattered

2018-07-17 09:07:49 UTC

Who the military swears alliance to is more of a formality than a reality.

2018-07-17 09:07:55 UTC

Don't give political power to someone purely because they came out of the right vagina

2018-07-17 09:08:23 UTC

It shows where power nominally rests and the traditions and culture lie, but it says very little about how things might operate in a true crisis.

2018-07-17 09:08:25 UTC

That's rich coming from someone whose screenname starts with "Swedish"

2018-07-17 09:08:33 UTC

This is more a matter of us inheriting this governmental structure, and so long as the Queen just stays quiet, it doesnt hurt us much to keep it.

2018-07-17 09:08:40 UTC

I hate my monarchy too @RMS_Gigantic

2018-07-17 09:08:48 UTC

Knug Gustaf and whatnot

2018-07-17 09:09:28 UTC

Our royal family wants more tax money so they can marry more Beverly Hills Americans

2018-07-17 09:09:29 UTC

be a man Swedishmafia

Challenge your king to the right to the crown!

Demand a trial by wombat!

2018-07-17 09:09:43 UTC

Hold on while I steal that picture of the guy with a flag and shotgun off the firearms-chat.

2018-07-17 09:09:45 UTC

Dude, I am literally the reincarnation of Maximilien Robespierre

2018-07-17 09:09:55 UTC

Rats. I can't post pictures.

2018-07-17 09:10:17 UTC

Sweden apparently has Republikanska Fรถreningen and the Swedish Republican Association as political groups for opposing monarchism

2018-07-17 09:10:31 UTC

this one?

2018-07-17 09:10:33 UTC

Yes!

2018-07-17 09:10:34 UTC

^Me irl

2018-07-17 09:10:41 UTC

Me irl

2018-07-17 09:10:58 UTC

I'm so fucking American, I view republicanism as a political ideology in itself

2018-07-17 09:11:18 UTC

why not be so american, that you consider Republicans to be communists too ๐Ÿ˜›

2018-07-17 09:11:35 UTC

like George Liquor

2018-07-17 09:11:52 UTC

That's just ancap. you'd have to go to Liberland or something for that.

2018-07-17 09:12:00 UTC

Why is Love Island a thing?

2018-07-17 09:12:49 UTC

but getting back to my original topic, Tim tends to neglect to mension the background or indeed the restricting clauses of Directive 51

2018-07-17 09:13:03 UTC

It's just a bunch of plastic millenials trying to shag each other and fight when someone shags the wrong person

2018-07-17 09:13:06 UTC

It's PURELY a COG/COOP/ECG document

2018-07-17 09:13:27 UTC

@Swedishmafia101 It sells to cucks and dramaqueens

2018-07-17 09:13:45 UTC

Hey guys, remember how TYT covered that Spanish guy getting hit with a brick? They left out that it was done by a black woman.

Well theyโ€™ve done it again. This video is on the CVS coupon controversy. They leave out that the police were called over trespassing, not the coupon.

TYT is intentionally deceiving people

designed to save American government and prevent anarchy if some horrendous, crippling, mass-casualty blow should be struck against the US that threatens its very ability to operate as a country

2018-07-17 09:14:23 UTC

tim covered it already

2018-07-17 09:14:37 UTC

Someone, somewhere should just make a site where we list all these muck-ups.

2018-07-17 09:14:43 UTC

The US is a nation that's sorted out its political system enough to have failsafes for its failsafes for its failsafes as far as ensuring the US continues to exist

2018-07-17 09:14:59 UTC

@pratel give a name

2018-07-17 09:15:10 UTC

@Dr.Wol The Swedish version of Love Island is called "Paradise Hotel". And there are more people signing up for Paradise Hotel than teaching...

2018-07-17 09:15:26 UTC

The Charters of Freedom (Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights) receive better protection than the US president

2018-07-17 09:15:52 UTC

@Deleted User for what?

2018-07-17 09:15:53 UTC

There is a reason why I say millenials have the most stupid people out of any generation

2018-07-17 09:16:09 UTC

@Swedishmafia101 the average person will gladly become a whore for fame/recognition,

Look at FB, Twitter, Twitch, Youtube, Hollywood, Congress

2018-07-17 09:16:29 UTC

@pratel I can start working on a site to cover news fuck ups
