How about instead of begging to be taxed you invest that money into a project needed to help Canadians who aren't well off.
Build housing with your money.
Build infrastructure with your money.
Help others fund Green alternatives with your money.
Donate to the thousands of charities who will do this all for you if you are lazy.
But stop bitching like you do not have the option to spend that money well on your own for the benefit of others. Especially when the rhetoric is "Government bad" at all times making it really hard to push for a tax increase on anyone.

Using money for charity is great, but having the government tax and manage it all instead is much, much better. Because it won't suddenly disappear. Unless your ruler's name is Donal Trump.
The point is: Yes, more taxes, but if not then there is literally nothing stopping them from doing good with their money right now. This moment. Not next year when they file their taxes.
