Once again, the Federal gov bears the brunt of populist, provincial bullies without a clue. Politics in this country are a train wreck and now the carrion-fed Koch organization is pecking at the dead flesh. Yeah, and while we’re at it, in pre-election mode, let’s spend $8M and counting to remind us all how good things are under the blue oaf in Ontario.
see, renewables contracts, Bill 124, this cap and trade, the greenbelt changes, the OEB override and legislation
Look up the lyrics to “If I Had A Rocket Launcher” for instructions on how to deal with this kind of theft.
Fuck Rogers and all the corpo media hacks.
I thought The Beaverton until I realized it was real. ACAB
If they could get their share price above a dime it might make them somewhat more credible; as it stands, meh, another wingnut opinion masquerating as fact.
Dismissed.
The theory you describe is an endlessly increasing resource stream? Or is there a point where taxpayers run out of resources and the doctors, no longer getting what they want, withdraw their services? Does this sound like a rational and well thought out path forward?
What about the taxes not paid on income through deductions? If the business is paying out 25-30% in legitimate expenses against the Doctor’s income, it’s a push. No-one has got anything near an increase to keep up with inflation over the past time span they reference - that’s why Galen Weston is the poster-boy for corporate greed: HE makes more (as do the investor-class of land-owners and stock-players) while we plebes foot the bill.
Goddam, I’d like to get ahead, too, who wouldn’t? But the implicit message here is “Pay me more or I’m gone.” So CTV interviews one doctor who’s uncertain she’ll get sufficient ROI on her Canadian taxpayer subsidized education, who’s facing making a median $250K a year and upset that after expenses and taxes, she won’t have enough left to pay herself anything but “a pretty low rate”.
How low? Well… $250K minus 30% expenses is $175K - and if they are legit deductions, her tax bill will be around $38500, leaving her $136500 as take home. That’s $47.40 per hour.
Here’s some free advice, buttercup, we’re all in the same boat, we just don’t all work in a profession that garners 6-month probationary writers to hear us whinge.
What a crackpot, malunderstood dunce of a comment is this: “When the Hamas sees Israel’s closest allies in the West coming against Israel at a time like this, Hamas will say ‘why should we negotiate any deal?'” Ummmm, because the IDF is on an uncontrolled killing spree, a pogrom, if you will, against Palestinians?
The lady doth protest too much, methinks
Zionist Attacks Peaceful Pro-Palestinian Rally FTFY
So this is how the Brits felt when Maggie T finally shuffed off this mortal coil.
Let’s see… Murdering a suspect without a weapon gets two months of paid leave, so sodomy should be, what, a free 24 of Ex?
I never liked flying and now have even more reason not to!
Over the past several decades, Canadian housing has been transformed into a financialized wild west where the interests of the investor class are sacrosanct and social need is secondary.
Secondary? That implies it has any priority what so ever in the market. It has been shown clearly there is no consideration of the social aspect of housing as an investment. It’s how much you can get for your property, that now carries no mortgage (OK, boomer), and how you can fund the lifestyle you’ve been practising for all these years. Remember, there are no poor people, just temporarily inconvenienced millionaires.
Greed is good. So are the well cooked rich, I’ve heard.
Awesome, now, coupled with oil, nickel, softwood and lithium, the lawless y’all qaeda yahoos to the south will HAVE to bring FREEDUMB to the frozen North.
Just the sight of the grinning ghoul send shivers down my spine and rage into my veins. Where the hell are our elected officials and why is Weston not hanging upside down from a hook through his ankle? This monopolistic cash grab is insane.
EAT THE RICH!!!
This isn’t sketchy at all. It sounds an awful lot like price fixing… something Loblaws is intimately aware of having honed their skills for over two decades on staple foods we all need to live.
Now prescription drugs?
¿Por que no?
Damn, that was my comment.
If someone was willing to bring Galen Jerky to the party I’d be there is a heart-beat. Even if it was teriyaki or honey garlic.
Eat the rich, thinly sliced on Weston bread.
