Earlier this week, I wrote in the Libertas Post that:

The human species has an instinctive dislike of taxes.

And why not?

What’s to like about handing over our hard-earned money to a bunch of politicians and bureaucrats?

However, there is a tax idea floating around out there that Canadians might actually tolerate.

It’s called the flat tax.

Essentially, the concept behind this idea is that instead of having different tax rates for different incomes everybody (individuals and businesses) would pay the same marginal rate.

So, I see that Marc Emery's extradition to the United States for the 'crime' of selling marijuana seeds to US citizens is being opposed by a tri-partisan coalition comprised of Libby Davies, Ujjal Dosanjh, and Scott Reid:

Ontario premier Dalton McGuinty and his lackeys are kicking us when we’re down.

During the worst recession in our province’s history and poised to increase taxes in July, McGuinty is giving tax collectors $45,000 apiece and he’s making us pay for it.

Outraged now?

You should be.

Ontario Finance Minister Dwight Duncan recently announced that the province is releasing 1,251 tax collectors to the federal government, because the province’s sales tax department will be obsolete, as of July 1, 2010.

You know, I do believe that Jennifer Lynch, the head honcho of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, deserves some recognition.

Why, you may be asking, would she deserve such a thing? After all, hasn't she been the head of an organization which has made a routine habit of inquiring into Canadian citizens' beliefs and infringing upon their freedoms of speech and religion?
