Sounds like Canada then needs to refund those countries whose resources were extracted during colonialism back since Canada, as a settler colony, was the recipient of a huge amount of pillaged resources as a willing member of the British Empire. Those pillaged resources developed Canada.
This is a test to see if Canada has any sense of human decency. Refund any surplus, or increase a refund to go back to a deficit. Canada was developed through the raping of the world.
Actually it is.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights - Article 25.
(1) Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
Just awesome (the rights and the ownage)! :thumbsup:
No it's not. The Constitution doesn't authorize it and the UN has no legitimate authority. You can't force someone to treat you.

Actually it's not. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not legally binding.
Doesn't mean it's not a universal human right. It is.

But Tango, haven't you understood?
FREEDOM!
:whiste:
After about 4 years of deficits we're back to Balanced budget AND free health care for EVERYBODY, socialism for the win.
The United States freely contributed to its drafting and then signed it.
Canadians don't have, nor can even begin to understand, the lower American 50%, who don't pay any tax at all.
So you're a pathetic excuse for a human being. You have no right to force me to give you healthcare.
You seem to lack any sort of understanding about how accessible health care benefits a country as a whole. Simply touting "free market" and "socialism is evil" makes you look ignorant.Don't care. It's still not a right and no reason hard working taxpayers should pay for it.
And what does that say about the wealth split in the country? The bottom 50% don't pay any taxes because they fall under the minimum tax bracket. That's a result of corporate changes and a "top down" approach to businesses. Maybe if companies started paying reasonable wages, people working at McDonalds and WalMart would start paying taxes.
*shock* Higher minimum wages means more taxes paid? Have you ever thought about the fact that a large middle class is good for the overall financial health of a country?
That's a crazy stat, I can't believe it's true, though I'm always hearing about an extremely high percentage of people on food stamps down there. Still it's hard to believe.Today 51% pay no taxes
They only fall under that after factoring in every credit and deduction imaginable and continual lowering of their rates to begin with.
