When I worked at McDonald's when I was 15 I only paid 50% of what our regular customers paid for anything on the menu. One group of people (employees) paid less than another group of people (customers).
How about Shopper's Drug Mart. They offer discounts to seniors on select days that the rest of us aren't entitled to .
There is precedent all around us for what I'm proposing. Some of you guys have set your sights very low as to what is and what is not possible. |
My mistake on the OP, good of you to pick up that I'm obviously talking about your flawed plan.
As to your second point, it's so completely out of whack I'm not really sure where to start. Employee discounts at McDonald's and senior days at shoppers drug mart are not even remotely comparable to the discriminate taxing of individuals for access to public transportation. How you managed to convince yourself that those were at all relevant comparisons is actually astounding, I feel like I just listened to you compare a story about a puppy losing its way to the industrial revolution.
A toll imposed by the government implicates the Canadian charter and constitution, on that basis alone your proposal fails, not to mention the myriad of other glaring problems. McDonalds discounts don't have that issue, see how that works?
Seriously, you need to actually do a tiny bit of research before you go spouting off to people about what is possible. And if you're going to claim you still have research to do, as you have done before, maybe it would be wise to not dismiss those who are essentially doing the research for you.
