What is the ONE thing you would change if you were PM

[drunag]

If the Prime Minister came up to you and said "hey bud(gal), gimme your ONE best idea that you want to see passed through the government, and I'll make sure it gets passed." what would you say?

I'll start off with a really simple request...
Make all the prices posted in stores and quoted for services be tax inclusive. None of this "$399 plus tax!", i want to see "$450 (tax included)!" or something of that sort. I believe the UK has something like that.

It especially throws the tourists off "it says $399 why you charging me $450??"

lol

might seem dumb, but that's what I want.

next?

and please don't bash the comments

I can see this getting political as usual... but the PM doesn't necessarily have power over that.

I am not sure the federal government can force stores to show prices including tax, as I believe that is a provincial responsibility. I think stores do have the option of including tax on prices right now, but it's just that most don't.

Tax everyone equally, either by set amount of percentage. If I make more I shouldn't get taxed more.

Stricter rules on taxes, especially for the rich and the corporations.

I would try to clarify what I meant by "rules" if I had only one chance with the PM.

Tougher laws on criminals who are minors. None of this "well they are under 14
" crap. If they commit a crime then it should be the same punishment for minor as it is for adult.

While I am all up for tougher laws on minors who are criminals I find it a tiny bit interesting that you think they should have the exact same punishment.

Are you implying that all minors under 14 have the same reasoning capacity as adults?

you're missing the point of the thread

i'd like to see tougher sentences for crimes relating to tax (fraud, evasion), whether it be the average joe or govt officials mismanaging taxpayers money.

well you can argue that because the crime committed is the same, thus the end result is the same. the grief a family experiences when they a family member gets shot dead by an 18 year old is no different than if it was done by a 13 year old.

although i see your point as people pleading insanity for a crime get treated differently. it would depend if you would like to look at sentencing based on the criminal, or the crime commited against society.

+1 . Im also not a fan of the refugee status either. File the paper work like everyone else and wait. If not, go somewhere else.

I would not allow dumb cases in the court and reduce children rights. They think they are so badass going into court and beating their parents. (Dad not allowing kid go on field trip)

As PM, I would make it a law that Shania Twain has to marry me...........w00t!

Yea and it took us 8 years to become Canadian Citizens (We were legal immigrants before, not refugees).

If I have one thing to say, FIX YOUR PATHETIC EXCUSE OF A IMMIGRATION SYSTEM. Make it faster and easier, the more population in this country, the bigger and better it will become.

And don't worry, people will move over to the other areas of the country, not just Vancouver or Toronto.
