Canadian Official: US Middle Class Too Rich, Needs a “Pay Cut”

Canada’s now-deputy prime minister, Chrystia Freeland, once said that the American “people in the middle class need to decide to take a pay cut.”

Freeland enjoys a $420,000-a-year salary.

[Bon of Babble]

"If members of the middle class, particularly the struggling middle class in America, don’t have skills that are as highly valued, should they expect to be paid a higher wage than people in other parts of the world?”

I think Canada should just be annexed to the United States

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The biggest chasm between the "rich" and the "poor" exists in Communist countries.

I was contemplating taking a drive to Canada and spending some time there for R&R. But I just can’t seem to pull the trigger given it’s near total demise under Trudeau.

"This is Globalism 101, the idea that it’s just Not Fair™ that fat, spoiled Americans do better than workers toiling in a Nike sweatshop in Asia."

[null and void]

Chrystia? Lead by example, demand a pay cut.

We really want to go on a train trip through the Canadian Rockies, but absolutely refuse to set foot in that place under current conditions.

I don’t want all of their stupid voters. We have enough of our own.

This woman rivals Hillary for being one of the most hideous, arrogant and odious woman ever born.

At least Lizzie Borden kept her craziness in the family.

Under socialism, only the politicians are allowed to be rich.

I’ve been to Canada a couple times in the 90s.

Liked what I saw and the people all seemed nice enough.

This person is another reason why I lost any interest in going back ever.

[FreedomPoster]

My exact reaction as well.

[MrRelevant]

This is the exact objective of the present day Administration in this country.

[Bon of Babble]

Ditto for my family. We’ve talked about that rail trip across Canada for years - now that we’re in a position to finally go, none of us are sure we wish to visit Canada.

My cousin and I got the worst cases of food poisoning imaginable last time I was through there, my cousin ended up in the hospital and my husband said he should have taken me as well.

[I want the USA back]

I think all liberal politicians should have their entire pay, homes, cars and riches confiscated and redistributed to the poor.

We used to ski Mt. Tremblant in the late 70's, before there was a single condo there :) I think it cost a $80 for two nights in a cabin, two ski passes and a steak dinner. Those were the days.

Freeland enjoys a $420,000-a-year salary. Typical Communist

[centermass_socrates]

Yeah, we have too many guns too, right?

“I think Canada should just be annexed to the United States”
Right now, that appears to be just infecting ourselves with more inept leftists. I’d rather get an agreement with Canada to round out the left in both countries and...”handle” them.
