Re: Tories want probe into public workers who leaked complaints about Harper governme

Forget the probe! Once the "bloom comes off the rose", if it does, things will settle down and there will be a realization and appreciation of the attributes of the Harper Gov't.
I had a short list of who would qualify but Harper wasn't on it. No I won't say whose names were on said list.

The reporter who reported the news, in Turkey the killed him or threw him in prison on a charge that carries a 50 year term with it. The odds are high that if you don't want some event reported on then you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.
Thanks for asking for clarity, not everyone is humble enough to take that extra step, hope that helps.

Jinentonix;2217547. . . ( they sent no notice of reassessment) and sent me a bill saying that I owe them the almost $1000 I got in GST rebates and provincial credits this year. The f*ckers arbitrarily changed an income amount said:
When they make more mistakes than I do with the same paperwork you have to wonder if they aren't being overpaid or you just found out how they justify them (more than one person involved) all of them having a high paying job. The Courts are even worse offenders as well as College of Physicians and Surgeons as far as being wolves in sheep's clothing.
Send me a PM if you want to read how this was shown to me personally.

Then maybe you can explain what your unintelligible babbling about the muddled east has to do with a probe about public workers.
I know your mind works in mysterious ways ....but this far out in space.

I never had a single problem with the CRA during the Harper years. But under the current and previous Liberal govts, I'm being hounded by the CRA.
Here's the fun part about this last one with the GST and provincial credits. My wife and I joint file because her income is $0. That amount is reported on page 1 of the T1 General return, along with her SIN, name and DOB. After doing my taxes back in March, I was sent a notice stating they needed to know my wife's net income for 2014 to calculate the GST and provincial credits. So, despite having provided that information to them already, I sent it out again and started getting my GST rebate and provincial credits. So the CRA was satisfied with the info. Now, mere days after the Libtards win, I was re-assessed (with no notice) on Nov.5 and got the bills in the mail this week. They arbitrarily removed my wife's $0 income amount and claimed they over-paid me almost $1000 between the fed and province, which is utter bullsh*t. As I said, even the district office doesn't know why it was removed which is weird because adjustments are usually notated so that enquiries officers in the district offices know why when they inevitably get a phone call.

I doubt it was a new investigation from scratch if it happened only days after the win.

What happened to the reporters as they were also 'whistle blowers' They were 'buried' and the story is actively trying to be suppressed, as is the one in the OP. I took the part in the headline as 'leaked' as meaning it was supposed to be a secret and remain a secret. The 'deflection' is changing the subject from what the 'complaints were actually about' to it being about 'blabbing about things a person wasn't supposed to know about'.
That is the part I was trying to highlight. Maybe they aren't smart enough to do that and they really are that stupid. Good thing they lost if that is the case.

Can your wife file her own return and you get a receipt from her that you can use as a deduction (house clean, yard maintenance, shopping, etc) on your income and she can claim that as income and it stops at her max allowance before she owes any income-tax on it (about $8,000) (girl Friday)

Maybe, maybe not. The federal Liberals and I have a bit of a history which I won't get into.

I don't need the deduction. With the disability deductions I already get, my tax bills are zero. But this isn't about income tax per se, it's about the GST rebate and provincial credits and the removal of an amount that was not only reported correctly, but confirmed a second time.
How many goddam times in a year do those dimwits in Sudbury need to be told what my wife's income is, or isn't in this case?

The Nobel Prize for Economics.. was NOT one of the original categories specified by Alfred Nobel, and is not now an 'official' award. The Nobel Committee was payed for the use of the name. It was conceived and bankrolled by a Swedish bank, in order to promote Global Free Market Economic theory and first awarded in 1969.

Free Trade and monetarism, deregulation and privatization has brought on an era of vast polarization of wealth, death of the Middle Class (of home ownership, access to affordable higher education, to secure employment and pensions), deindustrialization, rampant speculation, indebtedness, market turmoil and corruption through out the West.. which is in imminent and seemingly irreversable economic decline.

So for Harper's creative and deceptive bookkeeping, for his tireless and pathetic grovelling before the Global Financial and Trading oligarchies, for his abandonment of Canada's economic integrity and future.. maybe he does deserve the 'award'. Given to quislings and obfuscants.. for disguising the dire straits in which his policies have placed us.

Sit stephen, roll over, wag.. here's your bone.. wuff.
Yep, it's almost as big of a joke as giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize.

Perhaps that is one of the insider jokes that only the elite know is the opposite of what is 'on the card' is what is really meant.

Well, I'd have to admit that as far as effectiveness goes, he'd probably beat Justin hands down! I would suggest we wait until Nov. 1/16 and see how the additional deficit compares to Harper's worst year. :)

Liberal Gas Plant scam in Ontario, Conservative 407 scam in Ontario, Liberal Hydro scam in BC., but now the whole country get's to share in this pain.

How could the Harper Cons sign off on such a bad deal for Canadians......?

The federal Liberal government will need to find $3.5 billion more to pay for a new bridge at the bustling border crossing between Canada and the United States.

Documents show Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been warned that the cost of building the new Windsor-Detroit bridge has likely gone up by at least $2 billion, thanks to the declining value of the Canadian dollar.

Government officials told Trudeau the project would also need an extra $1.5 billion in a contingency fund to bear the shock of any interest rate increases should the loonie decline further against its American counterpart.

The long-sought new bridge, to be built over the Detroit River, spawned a hard-fought political battle among national, state, provincial and local politicians and the private owner of the existing Ambassador Bridge.

To make the project a reality, the Canadian government agreed last year to pay for all construction costs, including $250 million for the inspection plaza on the American side of the river, with a plan to recoup the costs through tolls.

The government expects to collect about $4 billion in tolls over 30 years -- more than enough, Trudeau was told, to cover the $2-billion cost increase that consultants from Deloitte calculated in October.

Otherwise, the documents said, the costs could only be recovered "before the end of the useful life of the bridge," adding in brackets, "100 years."

Statistics Canada Hiring 35,000 to offset Harper's unreasonable cuts to census

Canada is becoming great again.


Statistics Canada Hiring 35,000 For 2016 Census That Will Replace Harper's Voluntary Survey

Out-of-work Canadians may want to hit up Statistics Canada for a temp job this month, as the data agency is looking to hire 35,000 people for this year’s census.

Of those jobs, 1,400 will be at StatsCan’s census operations centers in Ottawa and Gatineau, the agency said on its website. The remaining jobs, mostly for census-takers, will be located across the entire country.

The census jobs will begin their tenures in April or May. But StatsCan is also planning to hold early enumeration in some rural parts of the country, and those jobs have to be in place by February. The agency is offering a pay rate of $16.31 to $19.91 per hour

Oh classic, the Government is using a employment agency. Well I guess that saves them paying health care and other requirements that would be necessary if they were actually "Government Employees."

Re: Statistics Canada Hiring 35,000 to offset Harper's unreasonable cuts to census

what?will stats be used for what they are intended to do,which is lots of good things,
what gets on the census is as important if not more then the census itself,
a list of one good thing is managing through the correct information,handling and interpretation,is what census's are about,
there's a new concept,"managing in response to information collection"
sunny ways!
