During the election campaign, the Trudeau Liberals vilified those that made $200,000 or more. Now that number has dropped substantially to $150,000. A ridiculously low number given you have to make $350,000 to qualify for a mortgage on the cheapest single detached home in Vancouver. Where does this politics of division lead?

To bad our school system doesn’t tell our children about these positive consequences. Even worse children aren’t told in school the extremely negative consequences of breaking 1, 2, or all 3 of the rules.
