You get what you vote for . Someone has to pay for an ever growing civil service and there is only us .
You would be the first farmer that ever admitted to making enough money to pay capital Gains. Or you need a better accountant.
The sale of a principal residence is still tax exempt but it needs to be "reported" on a tax return as whatever amount you purchased and then sold it for, the "gain" is then applied to the $500,000 exemption everyone is entitled to. However, I agree, it's only a matter of time before it too is taxed.
As it is, failure to report the sale on a tax return will be quite costly - $25/day penalty with the potential of actually having to add any monetary gain to your income if you fail to report. Don't know how or if one has to report a "foreclosure" though.
I actually didn't hear about this whole thing until recently. Not well advertised by the Liberals who brought it in and I'm betting a lot of people will, eventually, get nailed if they haven't reported the sale even if they've sold 1 house and purchased another.
As for the 2.25 acre I haven't heard that at all but the Liberals are sneaky so I wouldn't put it past them.
It only kicks in on the sale of land, but wasn't applied on the assets when it was passed down.
TRUE DAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a reminder of the dangerously spendthrift values our LIE-beral govt works with.
The article presents the LIE-beral plan for buying up a huge chunk of civil service votes-in perpetuity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the goal of keeping LIE-berals in power forever............ regardless of the wishes of ordinary Cdns who will be footing the immense tax bills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And there are some comments of my own in brackets):
The next “golden age” of Canada’s public service will be led by millennials, says Treasury Board President Scott Brison, and that means the federal workplace must change to attract highly valued workers under age 35.
(In other words LIE-berals cannot conceive of a Canada that is not controlled from cradle to grave by civil service Hogs dedicated entirely to LIE-beral values! And LIE-berals are rapidly enraging older voters who are trying to live on fixed incomes and inadequate pensions that are being ravaged by LIE-beral tax madness!)
“We are really well-served by an excellent public service, but we have a lot of work to do in engaging millennials more fully, in terms of transforming our public service to be open, more accountable, more transparent and less partisan,” said Brison.
Canada’s aging population poses challenges for the federal government to ensure it employs enough skilled people of all ages. The public service is emerging from an era of spending restraints and cuts with a smaller, older workforce of employees 18 to 65-plus.
(Yeah-LIE-berals ARE STUCK! Civil service pension are all in free fall towards bankruptcy-UNLESS LIE-berals can find new sacks of cash to shovel into civil service Hog pension funds! And we are BROKE. AS Margaret Thatcher pointed out: “the trouble with socialists is that eventually they run out of other peoples money”! That HAS HAPPENED here in Canada. The deeper LIE-berals dig into our pockets, the worse is our rage over the rising cost of EVERYTHING EXCEPT OUR WAGES! And the more angry ordinary Cdns get, the more LIE-berals are driven to seek out new voters to buy at any price- such as Muslims and illegals!)
(LIE-berals need for those Hog pensions to be on solid fiscal ground so they can let aging Hogs retire early to make room for millennials. But fading pension funds mean older Hogs will keep working and millennials will lose patience with govt!)
In briefing books for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is also the minister of youth, bureaucrats say the average age of new hires is now 37 and warn not enough young people are being hired permanently. In fact, in the final years of the Tory tenure, the number and proportion of permanent employers under age 35 decreased.
(Yes- Conservatives were working hard to minimize civil service Hog greed- by doing things like laying off Hogs from local Veterans Affairs offices now that the troops are home from Afghanistan- no need for lots of Hogs to procerss Veterans claims if they are no longer being injured! And civil service Hog rules permit a more senior Hog to “bump” a junior Hog and take his job away from him- govt hjad some say in how many Hog could have jobs but UNIONS decreed WHO-meaning the kids- would be FIRED!)
The Liberals, however, are targeting the large millennial generation and are working to ensure they have enough of them while adapting the public service to make it more millennial-friendly.
(Only an idiot LIE-beral would worry more about the AGE of the Hog workforce than they do about WHAT that Hog work force is actually producing in exchange for their MANY ENTITLEMENTS!)
This growing segment of the workforce — between 18 and 34 — will soon surpass the GenXers and Baby Boomers who have shaped the public service for the past 50 years. A generation comfortable in a digital environment, millennials are seen as adaptable and innovative given the right tools, work environment and independence.
However, Brison’s drive isn’t simply about age and bringing in more youth. Rather, he is looking to unleash the cultural change in the public service that politicians have promised for years. He is turning to millennials, who are generally seen to have the skills and attitudes to drive that transformation, which Brison argues could create a better workplace for all public servants.
Brison is predicting another “golden age” in the public service, similar to the post-war heyday of big ideas and policies that the leading edge of the Baby Boomers helped to implement, including such things as medicare, old age security and the Canada Pension Plan.
(Yeah-and isn’t it ODD that medicare, old age security and Canada Pension Plan are now all threatened by LIE-beral debt and unregulated spending designed to keep LIE-berals in power? Brison appears oblivious to health care rationing, to old age security eroded by rising govt costs and stagnating wages and nearly frozen Canada Pension Plan rates!)
“We believe we have an opportunity to restore and create another golden age of public service where we actively recruit the best and brightest millennials to the public service,” Brison told the Citizen.
Linda Duxbury of Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business has studied generational differences for a decade. She says millennials want less hierarchy, fewer rules, meaningful work, good working relationships, respectful managers, autonomy, recognition for their work, flexible schedules, open communication, tolerance for risk-taking, and fewer barriers to innovation. They put a premium on friends, family and hobbies and want work-life balance.
(Oh gosh-those millennial desires will render them UNFIT for the rarified atmosphere of a govt office where looking good and not pointing out that the prime minster is an emperor with no clothes are the ONLY real requirements!)
That’s a tall order for government. Blueprint 2020 is still the main road map for modernizing the public service, but briefing documents for Trudeau flag a number of “people management” issues to be tackled. They include: cumbersome staffing and classification rules, too many layers of decision-making, harassment, a toxic work environment, and rising mental health claims, outdated tools and business processes.
While a young person can make a difference in the future of the world in an NGO, the same smart, talented, idealistic young person can actually make a bigger difference in government
It’s unclear precisely what actions the government will take to make the bureaucracy more millennial-friendly. It has a list of election promises to restore trust in the public service and to make government more open, transparent and collaborative. Brison’s mandate letter from Trudeau asks him to “instil a strengthened culture of measurement, evaluation, and innovation in program and policy design and delivery.”
The government’s plan, however, faces fierce competition for these workers from the private and non-profit sectors.
Brison was on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos last month trying to convince millennials why they should work in governments.
“What we’re hearing is that if we are going to attract millennials to public service, public service has to become less bureaucratic, more meritocrative, less partisan, more transparent and more open. And I think if you ask citizens of any country, regardless of age, they would view these as good objectives.”
(In other words-the civil service mus become the EXACT OPPOSITE of that which LIE-berals consider useful and valuable!)
Many who want to make a difference go to NGOs, drawn by clearer causes, fewer rules and less hierarchy. But Brison said government is where they can really “move the needle.”
“While a young person can make a difference in the future of the world in an NGO, the same smart, talented, idealistic young person can actually make a bigger difference in government if government gives them the tools to do that. “
As a potential sweetener, he said the government could explore movement between NGOs and the public service through exchanges, secondments or as advisers on special assignments.
“I doubt in most cases that somebody leading an NGO can so do as much as a 30-year-old cabinet minister like Maryam Monsef in our cabinet, who is actually making cabinet-level decisions on the future of the country,” said Brison in Davos.
“At the end of the day, in a democratic country, the decisions are still made by people who put their names on ballots and who aspire to lead.”
Brison argues the timing is right. Canada’s youth faces high rates of unemployment and underemployment, and the last of the boomers, who still comprise 36 per cent of the public service, will be leaving someday soon.
The Liberals also have a very different view of the public service than the Conservatives, who wanted less and smaller government. Brison repeatedly says a strong and innovative public service is needed to deliver the government’s activist agenda.
“The Conservatives denigrated public servants for 10 years, and the reality is those Conservative attacks were based on an ideological bias and shoring up their voting base,” said Brison.
(This is WHY we call them LIE-berals! Freezing wages for already over paid Hogs whose entitlements are bankrupting the country is NOT a denigration of civil servants. Rather, it is a PROTECTION of ordinary Cdns from a militant and absurdly greedy and grossly arrogant minority!)
Duxbury said that decade took its toll on the public service’s image as a workplace where employees aren’t managed or treated well.
She said the government won’t attract bright and creative thinkers with a “whack-a-mole” culture where “anyone with new idea is afraid of sticking up their head and risk getting whacked if it’s wrong or makes a minister look bad.
“You are never going to get these creative young thinkers until you change the culture of government, and the problem for a charismatic prime minister is that everyone is expecting magic and miracles, and culture change takes time so he has to manage expectations.”
(Here is another example of LIE-beral foolishness! We don’t need a horde of smart ass types with get rich quick schemes based on limited understanding of economic history and No common sense to descend upon us with catastrophic fiscal results. What we need are people who will get the jobs DONE! LIE-berals are quietly suppressing news of just how many dual citizens are NOT paying their full taxes in Canada-while Canada Revenue Agency looks the other way because it might make their agents late for dinner if they were to chase a tax cheat across borders or time zones!)
(It would also be nice if somebody could kill off the clearly unworkable E-health program that IS STILL RUNNING! It is swallowing rather less gravy than it did a few years back thanks to the public scorn heaped on it -but we STILL DON’T KNOW IF OR WHEN the E-health job will EVER be completed! We are assured the program will be done any year now-if all goes well-but just HOW is it going? We don’t even know at this time if they are over budget as LIE-berals-badly stung by previous critics of the costly mess-have now stopped USING a budget-they just cut new cheques from time to time without the bother of asking awkward questions such as “where did the previous batch of cash go”? Or “ how far are you away from completion”?)
The truth is that LIE-berals had better watch out-the millennials have been kept in debt and poverty for so long they may decide to turn on LIE-berals with savage anger if our economic situation gets worse! One has only to recall how Our brainless Boy Justin was taunted and scorned by millennials in one of his early “town hall meetings”. LIE-beral handlers are smarter now and they screen people much more closely to ensure there wont be any repeats of the LIE-beral embarrassment! This does not mean Our idiot Boy is safe-it just means he is getting better at hiding from GROWING public anger!)
The energy it took to make a billion shopping bags could power a car to drive about 134 million km. Tough squeezing the jugs into gas tanks, though. lol
Well yes............................................................
and you certainly cannot run a car on soggy paper bags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I question that 134 number!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where did you find it??????????????????
.So you are saying that hemerHOID is a FOOL........................
because he is VERY WRONG about us having electric TOY cars in our future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we should all hail the natural gas and paper bag burning Stanley Steamer...................................
that will show up in our garages???????????????????????
Shortly after LIE-berals start offering subsidies for them???????????????
On the PLUS SIDE - just think HOW CLEAN our streets would be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
