Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

As I gear up to return to the electronics in the radio-controlled submersible project, I’m already thinking about the next multi component project:
How about a feral cat feeding station that takes pictures to build a machine learning database for an image detection/recognition cat door?!

This outcome is highly dependant on who forms the next government… there’s no point in moving from one evidence denying regime to a place where another evidence denying government just got elected.
They’ll just move to Europe somewhere in that case.
Elbows up! Vote ABC strategically ya’ll.

We have a choice for who we vote for, but we don’t get to choose evidence. If it’s factual, it’s no longer political.
Food prices have jumped, and all the evidence points to climate change & corporate greed. Only one party in Canada wants to ignore that evidence, & we all know which one that is!

There’s a poster child for cowardice folks. You don’t have that look on your face when you know you’re doing the right thing.
Premier Danielle Smith visited the University of Alberta Faculty of Law today. 👀
Lawyers and future lawyers know that Bill 26 and the UCP’s anti-trans bills are regressive, unconstitutional, and just plain wrong. And they had a message for her today. 👏

Make no mistake, when you hear the term “Defund the CBC”, it’s not about financial prudence. It’s about stifling accountability and a disdain for cultural investment. Were financial prudence the goal, target fossil fuels with 15 times more in taxpayer subsidies than the CBC gets.
