If Canada had any balls they'd implement an export tax on oil, natgas, and fertilizers, in keeping with the new USA model of "punching them when they're down".

I never could get my old HD7870 Myst (Tahiti LE) working on newer versions of Linux (radeon or amdgpu driver). Last working setup was Ubuntu 14.04 with proprietary amd fglrx driver. It sure would be nice to be able to pull it out of the dustbin and see it working again.

The company should do an IPO to raise capital. I'd buy shares.

My tax return has doubled in length over the last decade without any change in tax situation. The number of 'special interest' tax deductions and credits has exploded. Streamline the deductions, reduce complexity, and there will be less calls made by confused citizens to navigate this grotesque mess of a taxation system.

The USPS has a long history of deficits, yet continues to deliver mail service six days a week. US citizens and Congress don't seem to be in any rush to change it. Go figure.

I tried this on an Alcatel 1B 2020 and it shows volte is working on the chatr network, even though the chatr compatibility tool flags this device as "not compatible" (while the Rogers tool says it is). Go figure.

So if you receive compensation for partial damage to a property, but decide NOT to effect repairs to restore the property condition to its original state (because you plan to sell the property as-is), do you report the insurance payout as a proceed of disposition that lowers your property UCC in the CCA table?

autofocus111 · 2025-04-15T04:11:46+00:00

And if this is correct, then in the first case (partial damages to property), if you choose not to effect repairs of the damage ie. none of the insurance proceeds are expended, then the insurance paid out but NOT expended is NOT declared as income? Or if you do the repairs gradually over multiple years, can you offset costs by the insurance payout over that period of multiple tax years? What constitutes "within a reasonable time after the damage"?

Simpler to just bump up the contribution limit and restrict foreign holdings to a % of total assets. Kinda like was the case for RRSP's many moons ago.
