tamtam10 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Nova Scotia will now be offering up to $500 worth of tax credits for enrolling in fitness activities: Nova Scotia to Offer Fitness Tax Credit Is this really a justified use of our tax dollars? Quote www.informedvote.ca
Cameron Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) If it offers the incentive for people to get fit and stay out of the health care system. Then yes. It's better than stupid government programs that effect a small portion of the population.

Drea Posted January 2, 2009 Report Posted January 2, 2009 How about a tax credit for kids in chess clubs? Or debating clubs? Or science clubs? My son is thin and an academic. Doesn't give a rats ass about frivilous sports -- science and math are his choice of "fun" so why is there no tax incentive for brains? Wouldn't that encourage parents to enroll their kids in activities that work the brain? Not all people are hugely fat and need to diet and excercise. Being a sports/fitness nut is not the most important thing in life. Having brain is. Quote ...jealous much? Booga Booga! Hee Hee Hee

Being a sports/fitness nut is not the most important thing in life. Having brain is. It is proven fact that the releasing of endorphines or dopamine through physical activity a few times a week can actually increase brain activity...or something like that.
