if i was the pm of canada, i'd take 50% of what i make a year and give it back to the country.
i wouldnt lower taxes, but i wouldnt raise them. even if it means pissing off my staff by docking their pay 10% yearly.
it'd keep me in office.
and help to get us out of debt slowly, because there is no fast way, unless is sold half the country and or weapons.
