I pay my taxes just like everyone else. The original purpose of government was only to protect peoples’ rights, not become a nanny for every charitable program out there without taxpayer permission. I donate to charity, but that’s because I chose to, but to be forced to pay rising taxes to fund programs I did not chose is what part of what got us into this economic mess in the first place.

Then never, ever ask or expect for anyone to help you, especially the government, or services supplied by the taxpayers for the ‘collective good.’ Fix everything, including your own road yourself.

Never call 911, just do it yourself. No ambulance, fire, or police services need be wasted on you. Having a heart attack. Well, too bad for you Mr. Island in the Fog.

BTW, Canada is derived from the word Kanata which means village.

It’s up to the public to report them though. And that’s the only way it’s going to stop, because they all feel they have to do it to compete “because everyone else is doing it.”

Whenever anyone has told another to do something for the “collective good”, that means the person being told is about to be screwed.

No thanks, you can take your “collective good” elsewhere, I want no part of your attempts to take from others what is not yours.
