A government is a gang that steals with such regularity that we’ve not only come to expect it — but accept it and say ‘thank you.’ It taxes more than our money. It taxes our soul.

The ‘de-registration’ of the Libertarian Party of Canada is unfortunate — and annoying — but temporary.

In defence, you can kill murderers and terrorists, but when you kill their families and neighbours and other innocents, you become one of them, even if you call it ‘war.’

@seldomsensible It may be more difficult, but if I can avoid killing yours and I choose not to, it’s on me. Honest mistakes happen but most of what we’re talking about are calculated decisions on ‘acceptable’ losses. None are acceptable.

@KMLOnt I’m not arguing you have a “right” to kill mine, but if I kill yours then use mine as a human shield while actively attempting and expressing my intent to kill even more people’s children - if my child dies because in the crosshairs, it is on me and not the people attacking me…

@KMLOnt In other words, you can commit any travesty you want as long as you hide in tunnels underneath civilian infrastructure

While ‘de-registered,’ we remain a party, we continue to organize, and we recognize that Canadians who believe in rights over privileges have no alternative. We will collect the signatures and take the steps necessary to ‘re-register’ with Elections Canada in short order.

The rules, regulations and requirements to maintain ‘registered’ status, especially with respect to audits, are written by (and for) the establishment parties. They are difficult by design and made to exclude.

@KMLOnt "It taxes our soul"... great line. Taxation is everywhere and inescapable. Even just sitting on the porch, drinking coffee reminds me of the property & sales tax I paid. The "temporary" has become permanent and pervasive.

‘Retaliatory’ taxes on imports (read: tariffs) are just as stupid as ‘retaliatory’ taxes on incomes. Ottawa doesn’t need Washington or Beijing to agree to stop forcing Canadians to pay more. We should cut the tariffs, abolish the quotas and free the trade we can.

I’ll stand with anyone who’s against war but it’s hard to think of a less human reason than ‘it’s… it’s… violating international law!’

the gold standard wasn't abandoned because it failed it was abandoned because it constrained government spending fiat currency enables unlimited deficit financing and monetary expansion this is a method for politicians, not a bug
