I support QS, which champions the only policy that matters: an additional tax applicable to the 2,000 individuals holding assets exceeding $25 million. Yet, even as a proponent of sovereignty, I do not want a referendum on the issue in the coming years.
Nor do I want a monarchist state (Carney reinforced the monarchy by appointing Louise Arbour). I do not want a colonial state that upholds the Indian Act (1876) and refuses to shed light on the atrocious conditions under which the Numbered Treaties of the 1870s were signed. I do not want a state that—in a manner suicidal for humanity—continues to exploit shale gas and Alberta’s dirty oil. I do not want a militarized state that bows to Donald Trump’s wishes and chooses to raise military equipment spending to 5% of GDP. Nor do I want a state that succumbs to Big Tech (GAFAM) and abandons the « Netflix tax. » I do not want a state that, on the international stage, supports the genocide in Gaza and complies with the directive of « Secretary of War » Pete Hegseth to implement a military division of labor—joining a Europe left to pursue, on its own, a senseless escalation against Russia.
As Chantal Hébert has suggested, Carney appears to be implementing Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party platform to the letter.
Taxing the 2,000 individuals with assets of $25 million or more is projected to generate $5 billion in revenue for the state. Several of their proposals are funded through this measure of distributive justice. That is precisely why, in my proposal, I attach the utmost importance to « the only policy that matters: an additional tax applicable to the 2,000 individuals with assets exceeding $25 million. »
