The Editor,
Taxes: To pay or not to pay?
Well, that is the question.
Ask that question each time you turn on the tap and have clean drinking water.
Ask that question as dirty water from your showers and toilets is processed before being returned to the water cycle.
Ask that question when driving on a road or enjoying a park.
Most importantly, ask yourself that question every time you visit the doctor or access any service provided by someone who attended public school or a post-secondary institution.
Everything we enjoy in Canada and hope for the future depends on tax dollars in some way or form. To think that we can improve our country or strive to better the lives of every Canadian with fewer tax dollars is ridiculous.
It’s not a matter of pay your taxes and be quiet. It’s more a matter of pay your taxes and give a damn.
Jennie Boulanger, Coquitlam
