[Want a truly fairer income tax system? Tax families (interesting tax model)]

Only if you concede self-employment and home office deductions are not loopholes.

You're actually unable to perceive that the very idea of what is conservative has moved much farther right than it was over the last few decades.
Eager to fully adopt the Big Tent us or them, black or white mentality.

[Want a truly fairer income tax system? Tax families (interesting tax model)]

More like $4200, but seeing as how you mentioned EI & CPP which are not tax, counting that as pa deductions would reduce it at least $1000 more as 2 people are paying those instead of one. And take into account a nonworking spouse gets a lower pension than one that worked.

But you're correct in that an extra tax hurts your family income and is unfair.

Look at it like this it's even worse: taking in the 15k deduction for a nonworking spouse on earns 60K vs 2 earning 30K
You're looking at the single earning paying $2400 more tax. 2400 bucks of a family income of 60,000 hurts a hell of a lot more than 4200 to a family income of 120,000.

They should rule quickly, but his flunkeys will drag it out to buy him time as if it was something that requires more than 3/10ths of a second to see is utter bullshit.

[BC NDP's Haida deal should be a huge concern for BC residents]

Took you long enough to notice. And it's absolutely typical to interpret things that way.

The Haida want a country of their own.

No they don't. They want say over their lands not ceded. The concept of First Nations is not the same as Countries.
No one will lose titled land, but they will determine the terms of future land use and ownership on Haida Gwaii. You will deal with them, not just Victoria and Ottawa.

[Hamas Attacks Troops Building Pier]

Forcing their people to endure even more is what Hamas sees as 'good publicity'.

They want you to see the suffering of the people and not them.

Well it IS liberal biased to the same degree that University graduates vote leftish from what I have seen.

It is only liberal biased if you see anything left of fascist as liberal, have become so Americanized you think the Democrats are liberal. As I said, 20 years of propaganda demanding a march to the right will do that to some.
By people that don't realize the "mainstream" has become The Internet that carries far more right wing content, and are unable to distinguish news from opinion. Reality is that most Canadian media endorses conservative views and endorses Tory opinions. The bulk of even the CBC criticism is because they don't, they clearly point out what is editorial opinion and report news as news.

[Ontario needs to invest in EVs as a realistic Option.]

Talk about timing.....
Did you miss the $15 billion Honda investment in 4 EV plants in Ontario this week?

Besides, stop worrying about batteries. PP knows electicians that can pluck electricity from the sky.

So do I; with wind and solar.

[Canada needs a female leader]

You all forgot you already have a female party leader to vote for.

Elizabeth May.

So if the sex of the PM is more important than their policy, vote Green.

And BTW I would've had to really search my soul for any redeeming quality that would've made me think of voting for Kim Campbell.

[Anti-Conservative Bias in CBC and MSM]

Losing battle Mikey.
These people have spent the last 2 decades convincing themselves the media is liberal biased. Even managed to convince many others. When you don't know or don't believe how they've earned their money it makes it easy. When the idea evolved into believing the 'cure' is purposely injecting bias, they're beyond all hope.

Look at what the MSM actually has become - the Internet. It's just so left wing, isn't it? [/s]

Guilty of rebates on EVs and energy conservations
Guilty of tax credits for volunteer firefighters, seniors home renos
Guilty of Covid income stabilization
Guilty of boosting immigration tostill  build the country and address worker shortages

Yeah they have much guilt. Could've spent no money on any of those and paid down the deficit as if that would solve any of the problems.

I think you are falling into a conspiracy hole LOL

How did you interpret as that? No, I'm saying the usual flaw is interpreting what some do as a characteristic of all. Which would be a conspiracy hole.

Like in the idea that Hamas murders people, therefore Palestinians are supporting Hamas by protesting being bombed, starved and displaced.

You seem to be referring to the ONE GUY who wasn't deported for protesting in general. If they find so much as one protesting to support Hamas rather than the Palestinian people, I'm sure they would rule otherwise.

Used to be stupid opinions in the Letters to the Editor section back inn the days people had to actually make an effort to write and mail opinions. Any bozo can talk into their phone.

Is Hamas legally listed as a terrorist organization?

Then supporting them is a crime and they should be investigated and arrested.

You still don't get it... you don't pay tax on the sale of a principal residence OR on your rent, so how is ownership advantageous tax wise? You don't even have anything to sell if you're a renter. That part of tax law is fine as it is.

Of course not, but I sure do expect a much better effort. Not a minimal effort followed by meaningless apologies.
Like 7 months for the supposedly world class army to clear Hamas from an area the size of a postage stamp?
I'm no anti-semite but Hamas still is holding hostages and deserves what they get. And protesters here that celebrate Oct 7 should be locked up for what are pretty clear hate crimes.
