I suppose that one could make the argument that because that Mac laptop or iPhone was laying around unattended that it was 'found' and not stolen.

Hong Kong billionaire’s $25 million benefits St. Mike’s
Blocks away from St. James Park, where the “99 per cent” continued their protest, a billionaire in the top 0.000000002 per cent dined on white linen.
Hong Kong entrepreneur and philanthropist Li Ka-shing, the world’s 11th richest person, was occupying Toronto to celebrate the opening of an institute named in his honour at St. Michael’s Hospital.
Much like his American counterpart Warren Buffett, Li has pledged to give away one-third of his wealth through his foundation — a sharing of wealth even the protestors might deem beneficial.
Wearing a simple black suit, square glasses, a striped blue tie and a blue corsage, his style was unassuming for the richest man in both China and Hong Kong.
So was his demeanor. He was all smiles as he waved at the crowd of 200 researchers, clinicians and students who gathered to thank him for his $25 million donation to the building that brings medical research, education and clinical practice under one roof.
Toronto News: Hong Kong billionaire
Amazing how 30% of his wealth (North American I'm sure) seems to correspond to the corporate tax rates.
What a coincidence!
What a coincidence!
Like perspective that this Hong Kong billionaire is not really donating anything at all, just diverting the cash that would have gone to the CRA to a charity instead.
Interesting... I wonder if that's any different than someone that gives to the Sally Ann, gets a receipt, and then deducts it from their income?
Hmmmmm....

Nothing except the degree of money?
But I never said there was, so I'm not sure what your beef is.
Either way, both parties - like you - will do anything for a tax credit.

No beef... Just curious about the purpose.:icon_smile::icon_smile:
I was going to hold a party but can no longer afford to.
Long and short of it is I invested in the stock market. **** happens. I could have kept it in my mattress.
Ask his accountant.
We don't know if that donation was made from a corp entity, personal contribution from an offshore source, etc... Hell, Husky could have made the contribution on his behalf.
