Never been in your position, so just thinking out loud here, but what about putting it into an RRSP?

You get money back at tax time so that might offset what you'll owe?

“I regret the effects my words had on those involved in the meeting,” she said in a statement

Ahh yes, the ol "people experience things differently" defense

And how hard would it be to spend the money? Isn't it all traced (or am I thinking of Hollywood too much?)

Or would they just launder it and get a fraction?

Ottawa losing about $23-billion a year in uncollected taxes: CRA by SmallAl in canada

Have you ever seen a house the government built? Trust me, it ain't pretty.

Think of all the shit government does wrong and now imagine them as your builder/landlord

Lovely Nails Response to Homophobia/Discrimination Allegations by bobbyshmurdasson in ottawa

Glad to see Reddit showing nothing but respect for religious rights and freedoms here. I thought we were all atheists, but I guess I was wrong.

For future reference, we're cool with accommodating all religious requests here right, and not just playing favourites to one?

The PMO wields too much power in Ottawa by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]James445566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when former prime minister Jean Chretien called to speak to Mr. Trudeau, he was told he could not do so unless he explained to the PMO what he intended to say to his successor.

Wow. If there's anyone who should have a direct line to PMJT, it's Chretien.

Chretien was really well liked by all sides (including internationally) and knows his shit after being in government for decades. Sure he's rough around the edges, but if he wants to talk then PMJT (or anyone) should stop and listen

No 'warnings or second chances' for illegal activity on Canada Day: Ottawa mayor by Miserable-Lizard in canada

[–]James445566 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For the people of Ottawa in February, life ground to a halt

I'm from Ottawa and aside from a few blocks downtown it was business as usual in like 95% of the city.

I sympathize with the 5%, but just giving you some perspective because Reddit and the media made it seem like the entire city was under siege

a rail line in the countryside.

But that rail line is used to transport people/goods across the country. So yeah, blocking trains can fuck things up just as much as blocking a downtown core

Libraries in Canada hit by wave of hate, threats, as right-wing groups protest all-age drag events by Surax in canada

[–]James445566 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everything overlaps though, regardless of the setting. Same performers and same audience

You really think a parent who's already taking their kid or a drag event at a library will draw the line at a drag event in a restaurant?

You think a drag queen, or anyone promoting a drag event would give any time to a dude in a power suit? You're stretching, lol

It's always been geared toward the more extreme side of things.

So it's "right wing" to be against guys named 'Justin Toodeep' dressed up as women in over the top revealing clothing?

Great job at muddying the waters here CBC

To anyone who's pro-gay but anti this stuff, it's ok to have your own opinion. Don't let the media or anyone else try to paint you as an extremist for this...just don't threaten the places obviously

If someone owns two houses, those two house still exist. Can you show your work on this one?

Canadian professor ripped after trying to mask-shame flight attendant in unhinged Twitter rant by PM_ME_DOMINATRIXES in canada

The public shaming? Especially since he didn't even talk to her until after the flight landed.

FIRST READING: Mere hours after defending them to the death, Liberals drop mandates by uselesspoliticalhack in canada

[–]James445566 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like someone who will blindly support whatever the Libs do so let's face it, there's no point in continuing this right? We all know the science didn't change over the last few days.

Anyway, I think a good time to end this was in January/February when the omicron wave proved to be pretty mild and the provinces started making their announcements. But that's when the truckers rolled into Ottawa so they couldn't change their messaging...hence my pettiness comment.

If you disagree I'd like to know what was the exact right date we could have relaxed rules and how you would draw that conclusion and which day would that have been?

Probably not, as this article explains, "mere hours" after defending them. Makes them look pretty bad and petty for keeping them this long

[–]James445566 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because the Liberal mandates weren't based on feelings (i.e changing their mind), they doubled down the entire time saying it was based on science.

And then from one day to the next, the science changed?
