The Real Reason Justin Trudeau Won't Be Stepping Down
herbie replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Why don't you? Attending meetings and conferences is work. Just like your monthly Safety Meeting or boring Powerpoint presentation, or for that matter a grievance meeting is work. Vacation = NOT work. Or are you one of those simps that think you have to answer calls and texts from the office from your tent in Yoho National Park? Or like the jealous petty worms that felt I was 'holidaying' because I was representing them at a safety convention or union event for a couple days instead of 'working' beside them out in the snow? -
I will pay attention once your reasoning and reading comprehension skill reaches that of a Grade 4

Happy Insurrection Day!!!!
herbie replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I like your Guy Fawkes comparison. But Guy was better dressed, more civilized and less deluded than the Jan 6 insurrectionists. No weay could Fawkes be consider the leader of a cult. Nor was Parliament paralyzed by his toadies and simpering chickenshits too scared to call him out, they strung the traitor up and didn't piddle about for years and years. -
FFS Ei&CPP are not 'income tax' they're specific deductions for specific purposes and both have a top amount. That's it for payroll taxes that affect you. Actual payroll taxes your employer pays (on top of CPP/EI) are not docked off your cheque. Multiple headlines from multiple outlets lying about 'income tax' and then misleading people that two things are really three increases. Yeah you'll pay a little more but do tell us when you ever paid less in a new year.

The early partial pension from earlier job actually echoed the amount I was able to take from the business. I delayed CPP & OAS until 65. You can take CPP at 60, it will be a little less than if you wait, you must be at least 65 for any OAS. Money from side hustles 60+ can be shovelled into RRSP until you're 69. Then you have to start drawing it, reducing any OAS. Then yo better have mortgages, loans and credit cleared, cuz you're f*cked. Your incomes fixed, tax savings limited.... and seeing those $34 a dozen hot dog buns really p1ss you off.

The Real Reason Justin Trudeau Won't Be Stepping Down

So let's be good Tories and ignore the fact the Forces once again can't provide the PM a plane that works and attack him for raking a vacation, that's a far more petty and populist reason. -
The Real Reason Justin Trudeau Won't Be Stepping Down
herbie replied to CdnFox's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
OMG he takes almost as much vacation time as anyone who worked a job for 10 years! And gets condemned regardless if we pay for it or if the Jamaicans do! That's why others who don't support Trudeau will defend him. When those with even worse ideologies will attack for the pettiest, least intelligent reasons. -
Nikki Haley’s War with China

admitting your lack of reading comprehension is Step 1. -
Oh Jeez Mr Petty himself wants to argue reusable bags aren't environmentally friendly. Ones you use for years aren't as good as plastic you use once and toss. Well guess what if - the alernative you want for PM thinks like that he's too f*cking dumb to be a PM. Dumb enough to promote Danielle Smith as Minister of Environment. So buy a paper bag for 35c and wear it over your heads.

WTF are you talking about? That's what you have to bring with you to put your purchases in right now. If you forget they offer to sell you one.

For all those that can't read past the headline and can't do math: How much your income tax is going up in 2024: None. Unless you made more money the rates are the same as now.. Your EI and CPP deductions will go up some. The payroll taxes go up too,. but you don't pat those, your employer does. IF your employer deducts those from your wages, shoot the money grubbing crook or join a union. Carbon taxes go up Apr 1st. They do not go up 17c/L, that's what you pay now. They go from 65 to 80 bucks a ton, you'll pay an extra 3 or 4 cents. That you will not even notice as the Oil companies will boost prices just before the tax comes in and then more than that when it does. They'll gouge you at least a dime for their own pockets. The "Canadian Taxpayers" group doesn't give a flying f*ck about YOU, they bought and p[aid for by employers and industry. They like every other group desiring to suck you in just call themselves a phoney name. Like the man said: You can fool some of the people ALL of the time.

Sorry Deluse, it isn't the ones who got the vax that are the 'cultists', in your usual ass backwards use of dictionary definitions. It's the ennsie-weensie ,tiny whiney minority that refused to and are still snivelling years later. If the Boss says you need to wear a hard hat to work here, you're free to work somewhere else if you won't.

Scientific Method vs Engineering Method
herbie replied to August1991's topic in Health, Science and Technology
So MAKE IT. That was exactly the point, stop with the "it ain't there Right F^cking Now so it never can be" argument with alternative energy solutions. Your Grandpa didn't have electricity or telephones, now you can't live without hydro and a phone in your pocket. He didn't have sidewalk, paved lighted streets or underground utilities, now they won't even let you build without those. The economics works both ways: DEMAND also increases SUPPLY not just vice versa. -
Why do you want to prove to other people that you voted? You're have to if you want your opinion to count. You're also free not to if you want to remain an insignificant pimple on society's ass.

Funny how we've all 'heard' about this. Some become LOTS and two more make ALL. Immigrants have always come here expecting to work their way up. Ones with "skills" should be wise enough to look at certification obstacles and cost of living before they head out. Even though certs for doctors and nurses are being redone to attract more, you don't expect to just waltz in skip all the seniority steps and start doing brain surgery at the top rate. Or management. I know many people who moved to the US, to the UK to Australia and some who came back again. If I'd had a $100K job offer, I might have too. Might have some sympathy if I didn't work alongside so many immigrants who worked beside us in then mines, the mills, assembly lines. But gotta live in Toronto or Vancouver? And moving to Hong Kong cuz Calgary is too expensive? Like I said, don't let the door hit you in the ass.

When my Scot F.I.L. ragged me for having 'eye-tye' blood I'd rag him back that Scot cuisine was derived from the offal the Romans tossed over Hadrian's wall.... Natives because they had the misfortune of living between Europeans and pepper. India was England's Jewel in the Crown as they could actually taste something when they ate. Canadians argue over pineapple on pizza when anchovies aren't even on the topping selection..

Figures. We're used to USA being a tad behind the civilized world when it comes to things involving issues concerning society. So if it happened while Biden was King Shit, he must have personally ordered it. The Pentagon and the Health department aren't able to make decisions on anything. Just as the fact someone didn't get vaxxed proves you were forced to get vaxxed. And the fact you didn't get vaxxed and lived proves the vax didn't work and was dangerous. Just as the fact the sheep Canadians who obeyed their dictator died at less than half the rate then the Land of the Brave proves nothing. The fact the sun rose every day of the entire Trump administration proves he is the Sun God. Put it on your baseball cap "Proud anti-vax Trump Worshipper' and convince yourself that everyone else steps away from you means they respect you so much.
