I have an idea - let's just have everyone throw all of their assets back into a pool (land, cars, houses, vacation properties, stocks, bonds, businesses, jewelry, paintings, grandma's china set, etc.) and we can just split it all equally. Just a massive reset - every 15 or so years. We can have a lottery for all of the really nice properties, and have a non merit based system. Non-resident of Canada? No problem, as long as you make it here you can have a piece of a pie too.
Overly dramatic, I know, but its not too far from some of the slops you guys are talking from. I agree our system is broken, and some changes and tweaks need to be done, but some of the suggestions are just so obtuse and do not even contemplate the problems they will create down the road.
