“As I see it, the Canadians are a very proud people, and they are very offended this time,” Gerston said.

We’re not “very offended” you pusillanimous putz. We’re tired of your shit.

    if we tax the rich, they’ll leave

    So when the rich leave, we would be worse off. That would mean the reverse would also be true: if there are more millionaires and billionaires, everybody should be better off. And the number of millionaires and miljonairs billionaires has gone up the last few decades, so cost of living should’ve improved a lot. It hasn’t. So tax them.

      Well if we have more billionaires the average income will go up which in turn makes things more affordable (cost of living vs. average income). Numbers and statistics can say whatever you want with a bit of creative perspective.
