We hear it all the time and the media perpetuates this feel-good rhetoric. Yet this rhetoric is worthless. Levan Francis was subjected to years of racism at his job in BC corrections. After an eight-year battle, it was shown that co-workers frequently called him racial slurs. The Patterson report found that WCB claims were over 50 per cent more likely to be denied, based solely if a person is from a First Nations reserve. The recent investigation into racism in the BC health care system found that racism against First Nations patients is widespread and well known. These are three of many examples, right here in B.C., of outright racism and prejeduce, the very opposite of these new buzz words, inclusivity and diversity.
Why is the tax burden slowly being shifted to the average citizen? While arguments were being made against improving city infrastructure and services, taxes for industry were not increasing to keep up with inflation. Some industry taxes have even quietly been reduced, along with very favourable deferments. Not only is it a forbidden subject to ask industry to pay more taxes, it s taboo to not decrease their taxes. We ve always been told that we need to keep taxes for industry low in order to create jobs and spur economic development.The great part about this theory is that we ve already tried this and the results over the years is that there are fewer well-paying jobs, closed mills, shuttered businesses and a downtown that everyone avoids.
