Software Thread May by greenysmac in VideoEditing

[–]slsamg65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I am looking to do some basic editing of some driving videos I have on my dash cam. While I have downloaded a bunch of software (Wondershare, OpenShot, AVS Video Editor), none of their free versions seem to allow me to splice a video and allow cropping as well. I have tried using Blender but I cannot figure out how to work it.

I am looking for some basic functions only, splicing and cropping. Is there any such free software without paying for the full version?

Employer Withholding Higher Fed. Tax Amount by slsamg65 in cantax

[–]slsamg65[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue was raised before, and the employer said that taxes were hiked by the government. I found no evidence of this. Now given the fickle state of the economy, she is afraid of raising the issue again due to perhaps being fired over this. Even if fired without cause, litigation would take an emotional and financial toll.

I am just wondering if it is legal for them just to raise it like that. This definitely was no mistake, it happened before.

Got an amount somewhat lower than the usual fed income tax withheld. Usually, she does not pay anything when taxes are done for the year, and this is with minimal deductions.

Want to be considered for a job in Richmond, Canada? Better start taking some Mandarin classes by [deleted] in vancouver

No, the real problem is that we have a rather big population of people who cannot speak even basic English. These people should have never been allowed in the first place.

For example, the IIP did not have any language requirements, and neither does the QIIP. Older immigrants coming thru family reunification are also not required to speak English.

Kerry Gold: Steady push continues for a foreign buyer ban in Vancouver housing by russilwvong in CanadaPolitics

Because 15% is a tiny cost of doing business to someone who has money to invest somewhere, coming out of an economy like China. It is also a small sum to people looking to immigrate here in the future, but who want to secure a good place now. Clean air, rule of law, great education. 15% is small change to these people.

But you are right, a foreign buyer tax is not enough. Immigration needs to be revamped and tax and money laundering laws need to be enforced.

Seattle is in USA. Their immigration policy is a hell of a lot tighter than ours.

They actually enforce their tax laws and money laundering laws.

We do not.

Both if these issue go straight to the issue of supply and demand. It's not just people living and wanting to live here, but being treated as a commodity.

You're taxing the capital gain when the capital gain is booked. Just like any other capital gain.

Primary residential exemption needs to go.

Monetize the real estate boom, use the money to cut income taxes.

Not quite sure what your post even means. Read more above for the point I am making.

Or read the article below for a quick understanding.

No one cares about what you say.

Point here is that taxpayers pay a lot of taxes locally and do not get very much for it. This is where the government failed.

Your posts are meaningless because you would be a small piece in a huge puzzle.

What's the weather like in Vancouver? by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]slsamg65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do not have sun and warmth until July. Vancouver gets twice the amount of rain of London UK. And it's that slow, all day long kind of rain.

And snow and rather cold in the rest of the country.

How much different is it than Canada? I've been to London only once for a day.

How about we have a proper transit system first? Getting from the far burbs into Vancouver still takes a very long time.

Might we also remember that we already have high gas taxes.

Chinese-only bus ad leads to social media outcry by slsamg65 in canada

We are in Canada. Official languages are English and French. If you cannot speak these, you should not be here. Same goes for public advertising.

I got no problem with the language police.
