Perfect so you’re team Poilievre, a political lifer who has done nothing else and has nothing to show for it over someone like Carney who became successful before entering politics?

I’m no fan of wealthy people making themselves richer on the public dime, but I also think that setting up barriers to entry for people who have achieved success in other areas is a losing proposition in the long term.

Of course we should have measures in place to prevent people from using their offices to enrich themselves, but to call for people to divest their portfolios as a pre-requisite could repel candidates whose experience and know-how in financial and economic matters might be of great benefit to us all.

Liquidating portfolios is no joke, 50% capital gains inclusion to income tax when triggering a distribution is more than enough to cause someone to reconsider running for office.

If you want successful people to hold office, you can’t make them divest their portfolios and take capital gains tax hits that could ostensibly cost them more than their salary and pension combined.

I know I know “boo hoo rich people” but if you think that Mark Carney is a good PM, why would you then set up a pre-requisite that repels people like him from even considering taking the position?

What mean?

I’ll just stop bothering while I have the opportunity to do so.

Did you just threaten yourself?

The most common reason I’ve heard/read is “just look at what happened the last time we had a Liberal/NDP government in Ontario”

Then the details of why those governments were bad are usually about one tenth as bad as the current fuckery

Yeah they’re out of their minds. Are you better of increasing prices and pushing people to other platforms, or keeping changes reasonable and maintaining a large user base?

Obviously they have decided the former, but I really do think it’ll bite them in the long run
