My point is the mere existence of modern Conservative parties these days precludes the option of raising taxes to pay for services. Conservatives will never do it, and they've made it so toxic to the electorate that no other parties can even mention it without being pilfered with adds about the opponent raising YOUR taxes(even when they don't - see our last provincial election) and it works so well it'll even get a brain dead moron like Smith elected when she should, in no uncertain terms, be anywhere near a position of power. And now look what she has planned to "fix" our system.
So we need more taxes, but it is politically impossible to do that because of years of Conservative messaging. I stand by my point.
