ArcticCrusher Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I have no hero. As for Donny I have so much work now I don't know what to do with it as we are struggling to keep afloat. In all my years in business I have never seen the activity level like in the past year. Do you think that is related to Trudeau or Trump? My customers are calling it the Trump Factor, I guess we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a good question but it is not on topic lol apparently both can become a PM One is cheered as great - although he only worked a job few months in his teens then became a career Politician (and a good one) The other worked many respectable jobs but is considered a loser for only being a Teacher - 8 years in politics and he is PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't be anywhere without his last name. Also he is on track to increase debt more than any other PM who's time in office didn't have a recession. Sunny Ways. Quote “According to his own government’s projections,” the study concludes, Trudeau “will increase per person federal debt by 5% from 2015 to 2019 — the largest increase of any prime minister whose time in office didn’t include a world war or economic recession.” “The fact is, Justin Trudeau is the only prime minister in the last 120 years who has increased the federal per person debt burden without a world war or recession to justify it,” said Charles Lammam, the Fraser Institute’s director of fiscal studies. http://www.torontosun.com/2017/10/22/trudeaus-red-ink-record Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) http://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/liberals-accused-of-diabetes-tax-grab-with-apparent-benefit-clawback-1.3643566 Quote Health groups joined forces on Sunday with the Conservative opposition to accuse the Liberal government of trying to raise tax revenue on the backs of vulnerable diabetics. The accusation opened a new front in the ongoing opposition waged war on government taxation policy, amid the backdrop of the conflict-of-interest controversy dogging Finance Minister Bill Morneau over whether he's properly distanced himself from millions of dollars of private sector assets. Diabetes Canada was among the groups that joined Conservative politicians to publicly denounce what they say is a clawback of a long-standing disability tax credit to help them manage a disease that can cost the average sufferer $15,000 annually. Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre branded it as one more example of an out-of-touch Liberal government that he characterized as unfairly targeting the hardworking middle class people it claims to support. "His tax department tried to tax the employee discounts of waitresses and cashiers. Now his government is targeting vulnerable people suffering with diabetes with thousands of dollars in tax increases," Poilievre said on Sunday at a Parliament Hill news conference flanked by fellow Conservative critics, a young diabetic constituent and a top official with a leading diabetes advocacy organization. In May, the revenue department stopped approving a disability tax credit for people with Type 1 diabetes for those who had previously claimed it, he said. People who need more than 14 hours per week for insulin therapy, and had a doctor's certification previously qualified. But other than citing a spike in applications for the benefit, the government offered no explanation for the change during initial interactions earlier this spring, said Kimberley Hanson of Diabetes Canada. Thousands of claimants from across Canada who had previously been given the $1,500 annual benefit have been rejected in recent months, but Hanson said she can't get an exact number from Canadian Revenue Agency and has had to file an Access to Information request to find out. In recent months, the agency officials and Minister Diane Lebouthillier have for the most part rebuffed their overtures. "Over the past two months, she's stopped responding to my messages and answering some of my questions," Hanson said, referring to one senior department official. On Saturday, a senior department official reached out to her to reopen dialogue, she said. Poilievre said that only happened because the matter was raised briefly on Friday by the Conservatives during Question Period. "Applicants are now being denied on the basis that 'the type of therapy indicated does not meet the 14 hour per week criteria.' These denials are in contradiction of the certifications provided by licensed medical practitioners and do not appear to be based on evidence," says an Oct. 3 letter to Lebouthillier, signed by Diabetes Canada, the Canadian Medical Association, the Canadian Nurses Association, the Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism and two other organizations. In an emailed response to The Canadian Press on Sunday evening, a spokesman for Lebouthillier writes that the "concerns brought up by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and other groups, are worrisome." It says the minister has initiated a "five-point plan" that included numerous consultations with "stakeholders" to better understand how the benefit is administered. It says she wants the agency to improve its data collection and is planning to hire more nurses to work in processing centers to evaluate the claims. This would help "to ensure that a medical professional is involved in the reviewing of individual's applications," said the emailed statement. This latest complaint about the government's tax policy comes after the Liberals were forced to reset proposed tax measures after weeks of vocal opposition from small business owners, doctors, farmers and backbench Liberal MPs. The Canada Revenue Agency was also recently forced to withdraw a notice that targeted employee discounts after it caused an uproar. "It's not like I can snap a finger and this disease turns off," said Madison Ferguson, a constituent of Poilievre's who first raised it with her MP this summer after her claim was rejected. She said she has to constantly calculate the effect of what she eats, while monitoring her blood sugar levels as much as four to 10 times a day, using test strips that cost $1.50 to $2 each time. "It's quite expensive but it's needed because without this I wouldn't be here," said Ferguson. "So every moment of every day has to be calculated." So much for Sunny Ways from the Liberals.

As a master of ceremonies or the guest celebrity of the day, he’s a winner. But in question period, he is on alien ground. In question period, he should own an honorary spot on the opposition benches. Edited October 23, 2017 by revrnd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
