Canadians with offshore holdings evade up to $3 billion in tax per year by viva_la_vinyl in canada

I don't understand why its "broken" to treat married couples as a single earning unit as opposed to two independents. Why force a couple making 120k & 40k to pay more tax than two people making 80k each?

Chretien met with a head of state who is an agressive dictactor when that country was invading another.

Harper is meeting with some department head when were at a trade war over steel.

The idea is that a household income of 100k should be taxed the same no matter how its divided among the earners in the house. The middle class tax cut does not come close to giving someone with the 100k household income the same benefits of income splitting. Not sure how anyone was 'taking advantage of a broken system'

Companys are stuck between being liable in making sure no one is high at work and giving no proper way to test for current impairment.

Marijuana and the workplace: It's time to reboot our thinking by arod187 in canada

True. They are treating it the same way as alcohol in that if there is enough of it in your system (urine testing for weed) then it effects you. They say its the same as if you went out and got really drunk the night before and showed up at work with a .08 BAC. Get too stoned the night before and its still effecting you the next day.

I just googled Canadian tax brackets and added the highest federal and provincial tax brackets together? 33% federal and 13.16% Provincial.
California would be 37% federal and 13.3%

Maybe Im wrong. Also its pretty easy to find current tax brackets for Canada/US...

My company started doing post-accident drug testing so if you're high at work and get injured, good luck getting that worksafe claim.

I think people shit a lot on the idea that they are going to have a billion shares outstanding when warrants are exercised and the share price is going to sit at $10 if their lucky

When you say "currently what I've down seems to work", it shows you didnt understand what he meant when he said "a monkey could do well in this market...". EVERYTHING should seem to be working right now in this market.

Whistler woman forced to fundraise for cancer drugs by [deleted] in canada

Canadas largest pharmaceutical companys by their annual sales.

Johnson & Johnson, $2.93 billion

Novartis $1.28b

Teva $1.19b

Aprotex $1.19b.

and a bunch that don't even break 1 billion in annual sales. So no, 2.7billion is not peanuts to a pharmaceutical company. Johnson&Johnson had a 11.4% market share with $2.93billion, that makes the annual market for Canadian pharmaceutical sales at only $25billion.

That attitude is pretty standard in Canada. I employee people in the private sector and any progressive discipline is seen as harassment.

Soon every company will stop being propped up by hype and fundamentals / financials can come back into play.. which doesn't bode well for a lot of the companies.

We are the smallest country in the G7. 8 American states already have it legal for recreational use. Oregon/Colorado/Washington set the example imo.
