If, and I hope he does, Bernie Sanders get's elected, he's going to rightfully balance the inequality between the entitled rich and the middle class thats been getting phucked over for the last 30+ years... or in other words;

He's going to aim for a $15/hr minimum wage pay across the nation.

There are no 'handouts' in Canada you dumbass. Everyone contributes their share via taxes and everyone benefits. Yes the taxes are high, but at least their standards of living and satisfaction of life are MUCH higher than America's. Let that sink in for a little bit.

their standards of living are higher because they dont have as many blacks, mestizos, or arabs. their main immigrants are chinese who actually enhance society instead of drain it. (harsh words, but i'm not sugar coating the truth).

try that system out with a horde of 3rd worlders to support and see how that does for you.

US acts as a buffer between Canada and Mexico so that Canada doesn't get the mexicans. canada has no other boundaries with third world nations so their safe for the meantime.

firstly, the standards of living in Canada are better in some respects than in America. They aren't MUCH higher.

If you account for the disparity of low-skilled immigration (America gets a lot more poor immigrants and refugees) America beats Canada handily in terms of cost of living.

that being said, Sanders 2016

Kenneth, for once I agree with you - they should all skip USA and go to Canada. Unfortunately for us, Canada does not let illegals flood across its borders. They let immigrants in based on:

Economic. This category represents the largest portion of immigrants each year. Selection is based on a point system that rewards applicants with higher levels of education, job experience, and language skills (i.e., English and French). With the manufacturing sector in decline and the country shifting toward a more information-based economy, this policy emphasizes flexible, transferable skills over specific occupations.

US lets in unskilled, low-income, uneducated people who don't speak English and become a burden to our social and educational systems. Canada lets the educated, high-skilled, RICH people who invest and improve their country - smart, don't you think?

All true but you also forgot to mention one important factor:

Canada also requires you to have a MINIMUM amount of cash to bring with you as well. I think it's somewhere around $25-35k. Having said that, I know for SURE most people dont have that much in their bank accounts.

Tbh, the US should look into one of those bullet trains that would get them there with great convenience.

But of course, big business wants cheap labor at the expense of the middle class, and by playing the hearstrings of liberals looking to play hero for the little guy, they easily get the govt to basically roll out the carpet for immigrants.

Almost all of the politicians (both sides) are complicit:

Big business donors - cheap labor
Liberals - votes

I didn't forget - don't you see the word "RICH"? A lot of the rise in house prices is because the Chinese immigrants bought up the real estate in Vancouver and Toronto.

Depends where in Canada you are though. Lemme put it this way;

The average yearly salary in Canada (before taxes) is I believe around $45,000. If you're in Toronto making that amount, you're barely getting by:

Renting a flat there costs essentially a minimum of $1,000 for a 1bedroom place.
Transit costs about $140/month.
Telecommunications is REALLY expensive in Canada (and sh*t service too); $80/month for capped internet with about 15mbit speeds (lulz)
Cell phone plans are about $100/month.
Car insurance in Toronto is roughly $200 (some friends pay over $300, depends on record)
Then you have food, clothing, personal items/care, leisure, visa, student loans (assuming your not an idiot and decided to go to school), etc.

After all is said and done... HOW the hell does one save up any money for a home or condo... when condo prices in Toronto start at around $300,000 for a small single bedroom and condo fees are around $500/month on top of a mortgage? Forget about buying a house... minimum price for a house there is like $750,000.

that being said, Sanders 2016

HELL YES!

Don't you see what $15/hr minimum wage is doing in Seattle? People are asking for a CUTBACK in hours (because they're now making too much) to keep qualifying for food stamps, subsidized housing, free cel phone, etc. If it weren't so pitiful, I'd LOL. Unintended consequences - people are gonna game the system - why work when you can get it for free? So much for socialism.

LOL, cutbacks? Who would want to cutback on hours from a normal 36 hour work week? As an employer, if I saw my staff asking for cutbacks like that, id fire their ass and find someone more dedicated.... or really, someone more RELIABLE.

Where have you been? 36 hour work week? Try under 30 to avoid Obamacare. My daughter was offered 2 internships this summer - both under 30 hours - she couldn't find a 40 hour (full-time) job.

If only Bernie Sanders got a proper barber, maybe more people would start listening to him.

Gonna vote for him but dude looks like a mad scientist. Not a great look for the press/average uninformed mouthbreating voter.

He does looks like a mad scientist there

Not just asking for cutback in hours but:

There have been other unforeseen consequences to the higher wage. Some restaurants are tacking on a 15 percent surcharge onto customer’s bills in order to avoid firing workers.

Other stores, restaurants, and small businesses are simply closing down because they can’t afford the wage hike. By March of this year, for instance, restaurant closings increased at a much higher than average rate in Seattle.

Many restaurants noted that the new wage put labor costs at nearly 50 percent of operating costs, and that made profit margins disappear.

There's no monthly GST rebate cheques. That happens ONCE a year and you can't claim anything and everything. Only HST can be deducted and only if youre a business owner. For personal returns it only applies depending on variables. Ie; if you renovate your home, that can be deducted.

Secondly, as much as you'd like to think otherwise, sales tax is a drop in the bucket from what all the tax Canadians pay that comes out of their paychecks. If you're earning anywhere from 40-50k/year, the government is going to take roughly 15k of that... ballpark amount, don't quote me on that, I dont remember the specifics, but its almost 100% for sure over $10,000 in that salary range.

Before i got a ton of money i was getting 70$ a month in rebait chequez and 100$ every 3 months... the yearly cheque is 300$... then theres the 1000$+ tax returns for people who make under 20 grand

Lol canada just hands out free miney to anyone who isnt rich
