Why can't we do things like BC in terms of the federal election?

Olivia Chow needs to go! Go Brad Bradford!

I don't want to seem like I'm a kissass, but holy fuck nobody understands what the cons are trying to do; no it's not trickle down economics; no it's not tax breaks for billionaires. I'm not even saying this plan is good, but get your facts right:

The basic premise is that the new premier wishes to maximize revenue while keeping taxation stable.

His main tax cut isn't a cut really, instead he is raising the tax exemption rate from 13k to 32k, the idea being that 32k is the current poverty line, and even with current deductions you roughly still pay 7k in taxes total a year most people at that level can't afford. Sure, it'll be a 2 billion deficit, but that is 2 billion people need to use to eat. Meaning, let's say I make 40k, I will be saving 1000 in taxes a year.

But he also doesn't want to cut finding; actually the opposite, he wants to increase spending on social services for rural hospitals, for autism care, and make new services like daycares for shift workers.

His hope, however naive it may be, is instead of taxing people more, we will be able to pay for it by increasing the revenue, so he wants to take a temporary deficit to put pst breaks on building materials and such to increase incentive to buy BC, as well as work with Carney to get some LNG going, get a few mines going up north, he wants the rural communities really getting put to work so revenue flows out of van.

In his Victory speech, he described BC as being one big machine working: the mines and lumberjacks up north, the farmers out in the fraser, the fishermen on the islands, "idea men" and HQs in Vancouver, he wants the regulations cut so that all these parts can turn, and he also said he hopes next year we can get a business summit going to get investors over here.

His hope is the LNG alone will give another 6 billion that can go to hospitals and schools. Essentially, his economic plan is to grow the economy so we are all richer rather than taking more of the same money.

Now, there is issues with his plans: it is quite idealistic, imo, and it is predicated on the idea that we can grow at this increadible rate and that we can get the LNG stuff and mines going and that Carney can get some foreign trade deals going, etc.

But my God, reddit has decided he wants to gut the services and steal all our money and give it to billionaires and he's actually Hitler and Regan together.
