What ever happened to capitalism?
As a citizen in a democracy we all must know what our vote is creating. Bill 60 tilts the scales against you because of it slides money unfairly. It is not only undemocratic (people don’t read it through and approve it), but it does not support capitalism. Because it, in between the lines, tilts the scales against the consumer, YOU, into the hands of those who can control the flow of money. If you think that’s ok, that’s your right… but don’t call it capitalism. It’s grand larceny. And you wonder where your tax dollars go?
Job well done by the OPP Bracebridge Detachment. Thanks. If these young men are guilty they need to know asap that breaching the trust of their fellow person means we don’t want them around until they truly turn from that mindset.
