  1. Glad to hear you recovered.
    12
  2. All because they resent Conservatives.
    11
  3. When we elected Justin's daddy.
    10
  4. All coming at the expense of those who have to foot the bill but are not eligible for any payment.
    7
  5. It will not help in the long run.
    7
  6. And state-sponsored indentured servitude.
    6
  7.  @allstar-j2836  Not even their own physical bodies.
    5
  8. In Canada's case, yes it was. To drown out the Quebec separatist vote.
    5
  9. The public sector is not going to like that as cutting the cost of government = loss of public-sector jobs and the public sector make up a good portion of the Liberal/NDP voting bloc.
    5
  10.  @scottknight8265  Translation: tax anyone who's not completely poor. That's what the USSR did to the kulaks and China did to the small shopkeepers.
    4
  11. No. But it does help the bank accounts of politicians and civil servants.
    4
  12. Tax the rich = tax any attempt by the poor to get rich.
    4
  13.  @jozefciszewski2074  Yet in spite of that, a lot of immigrants still see Canada as a stepping stone to get into the US, the country they much rather live in.
    4
  14. Exactly.
    3
  15.  @BAR475  Eventually as you lose ability and desire to support yourself.
    3
  16. Not really. Try political greed.
    3
  17. Only those who made less than $49K in the past calendar year are eligible.
    3
  18.  @FA-kt3is  <No one should be in a position to choose between life and death, or shelter or food just because of not enough money> Partly due to financial mismanagement.
    3
  19.  @barbaratrueman185  About as much as renters are frivolous and foolish.
    3
  20.  @cody709  More likely due to poor budgeting than the high living costs. If you're making 150K and still struggling, there's a good chance that you're the problem and not the major city's living costs.
    3
  21. Until inflation kicks in and that 2 million becomes all but completely worthless.
    2
  22. 6 months = 2 payments. The CRA website indicated the bonus cheque was a one-time payment paid 11/4/2022.
    2
  23. <Should be a set rate of 2000 dollars per month,that would make the country do much better> LOL. And where exactly is the money going to come from to support such a set rate?
    2
  24.  @kimmacdonald2931  It will be $233.50 this coming November 4th.
    2
  25. Alberta.
    2
  26. That will not solve anything.
    2
  27.  @tom.5644  And the key word is if. Since it's dependent on such, it's safe to say don't hold your breath.
    2
  28. <but I will never be able to get one myself!> For as long as you keep living beyond your means.
    2
  29. <When you give money to low-income people, they spend it in their local communities.> Only to end up being broke again. Poor people don't do themselves any favors with their poor budgeting.
    2
  30.  @Susan.Lewis.  Too bad at the expense of the EI coffers among other budget cuts.
    2
  31. <out of control rental increases.> Thanks to out of control insurance and land value increases, mortgage and interest rates and property taxes.
    2
  32. They voted for their own displacement.
    2
  33.  @DecolonizeAlberta  <Air Canada, bombardier..... > Both of which are HQ'd in Quebec.
    2
  34. But Pride takes the cake as the greatest sin of them all.
    2
  35. Same here.
    2
  36.  @MrWallace484  Then start earning your own way.
    2
  37.  @cheekymonkeygirl3378  And in turn, the government has every right to set the terms and conditions under which you will get any help from them.
    2
  38.  @tonespeaks  And for good reason. Why should they?
    2
  39.  @WATCHLLS  At least they get medical help while in Canada you'll probably be dead before medical help can come in time.
    2
  40.  @dm95422  LOL. With what money?
    2
  41. It all started with Justin's father.
    2
  42. LOL. <When they realize UBI is the only way to keep money out of the hands of hoarders....> While putting it into the hands of the ultimate hoarders otherwise known as the government. <we can all have security. > All that will cost is our freedom and personal agency. Do or say something the UBI handlers don't like and you can kiss that security goodbye.
    2
  43. It most likely was.
    2
  44. And also hedonism as Canadians put career and lifestyle over family.
    2
  45.  @mendoza4789  Exactly.
    2
  46.  @dilpickles5928  <Government's don't create monopolies.> Yes they do. <Socialism is what keeps capitalism in check> So what keeps socialism in check?
    2
  47. He's giving out that $467 on 7/5/2023.
    2
  48. They don't understand that, because they don't value or respect individual agency.
    2
  49. Which means I should be seeing a $233.50 deposit tomorrow morning.
    2
  50.  @lauralb411  No. And where is the money going to come from to pay for it?
    2
  51. Whoever made less than $39K in the past calendar year.
    2
  52. The double rebate is coming November 4th.
    2
  53. 1000 per month? That was my 2003 net monthly salary.
    2
  54. It's confirmed now?
    2
  55. But Canada doesn't have the stomach for that.
    2
  56. Exactly.
    2
  57. Only if you have made less than $20K as a single ($35K as a family) in the past year. Quebec's payout earlier this year better.
    2
  58. Namely Eastern Canada.
    2
  59.  @dano3952  So did Pol Pot in Cambodia.
    2
  60.  @alexguolo5872  Namely ultra-rich foreigners.
    2
  61. Pretty much.
    2
  62. <and let the boomers who didn't bother to have kids live with the consequences,> Agreed.
    2
  63. Be a meth-head.
    2
  64.  @cindyhaduik7171  But it comes up to $27K at the bare minimum. You have to be a part-time worker or miss a lot of work to make $24K a year.
    2
  65. Inflation is caused by governments.
    2
  66. Only to bankrupt the employer putting individuals out of work which in turn means loss of tax revenue.
    2
  67. $233.50 to be exact.
    2
  68. LOL. No they won't.
    2
  69. 11:56 All leftist organizations. Unions and the public sector.
    2
  70.  @wiseman4160  Due to supply restrictions by the (municipal) government.
    2
  71. Until it isn't when there are no more high-income Canadians to tax.
    2
  72.  @kellyevans207  If they haven't got taxed and regulated to poverty first.
    2
  73. Because the average person is too ignorant and impressionable to be allowed to vote. Look little further than Venezuela or South Africa to see what universal suffrage can do to a country.
    2
  74. That's the left-wing way.
    2
  75. They have. It's just that they're in a much higher tax bracket. $650/year is chump change for them.
    2
  76. If you and your spouse make $63K or higher combined, I guess that's the reason you're not eligible for the credit.
    2
  77. It was the Liberals under Chretien that officially terminated all investment in social housing.
    1
  78.  @derekrank4572  How do you expect landlords to lower the rent in the face of higher property taxes, insurance costs, etc? And small businesses to pay bigger wages in the face of rising operating costs and stagnant revenues?
    1
  79.  @methatguy5996  Venezuela. That free money from oil Chavez handed out helped destroy whatever private sector and local industry it had having to rely on imports to feed itself.
    1
  80.  @rigg4146  It was redistributed all right. Namely to Party elites.
    1
  81.  @methatguy5996  <but they're not a failed country.> Thanks to Deng's capitalist reforms in the 80's and Clinton's outsourcing of US manufacturing jobs on the 90's.
    1
  82.  @methatguy5996  No. The UBI helped undermine the local economy and industry. <The fact is Norway and Finland are the closest thing this planet has ever seen to a UBI, and they're doing just fine.> Was it implemented nationwide? Or was it just implemented on a handful of people as was the case with Finland?
    1
  83. His GTA supporters.
    1
  84. That money has to come from somewhere to pay for all the bureaucracy required to meet Canadians' needs.
    1
  85. Exactly.
    1
  86. Maybe if the government didn't jack up the taxes and regulations that compelled said greedy corporations to price necessities out of control.
    1
  87.  @silverstonemalik440  You're getting the regular rate in January.
    1
  88.  @derekrank4572  You sure about that? Because 38 million Canadians @ $450 000 = $17.1 trillion. Our current GDP is just $1.643 trillion.
    1
  89.  @russellmatthews  Which will be November 4th. On the CRA website, it say it's going to be a one-time payout.
    1
  90.  @User70U  Yes it is as it's not the landlords' fault we don't have the skills or aptitude for anything better than minimum wage and are too proud to consider moving or having roommates to help split the costs. and can't manage the money we do have to afford whatever they're charging. At the end of the day, hosing and living in the (desirable part of the) city is a privilege.
    1
  91. OUCH!
    1
  92. Maybe if they weren't so legally restricted on what they can build.
    1
  93. Libs = wannabe communists.
    1
  94. But governments are responsible for inflation and bureaucracy that enable corporate price-gouging.
    1
  95. <it will only benefit Globalists and Foreign Corporations who couldn't care less about Canada!> And why should they? Even Canadians themselves couldn't care less about Canada.
    1
  96. You have to have made less than $20K gross to qualify. Unless you were a pensioner, social assistance-recipient or a part-time worker, you can forget about that.
    1
  97. Exactly.
    1
  98. <and if they haven’t paid it back and I believe there is interest added on that, > Only if after a certain amount of time, it still hasn't been paid off. <so they won’t even get this $500 or any further GST until they do pay back the Surb!> That's just how it goes when you owe the government.
    1
  99.  @derekrank4572  Rents are never going to be lowered in the face of rising mortgages, utility costs, repair/renovation/maintenance costs and property taxes unless you like to see Canada become one giant slum.
    1
  100. Yes.
    1
  101. It's a cheque given out once every 3 months to those who made less than 40K gross in the past year.
    1
  102. <t we can create a new, fair system.> Not really as we're inherently corrupt and this new system becomes just like the old one.
    1
  103. Like a gullible fool.
    1
  104. Yet has nothing on socialism, an even bigger scam that demands people settling for a meager existence to excuse bureaucrats and government lackeys.
    1
  105.  @kostazarikos3383  Exactly.
    1
  106.  @mathias8627  For the most part, it is.
    1
  107.  @mathias8627  Just like their well-being doesn't matter to you despite all your virtue-signaling. Society for now is functioning for me and plenty of others. That's too f---ing bad if it doesn't work for you.
    1
  108.  @mathias8627  LOL. Mad about what?
    1
  109.  @gamesotic  Maybe, but what good is that if there's nothing to spend that disposable income on with store shelves empty? There's a reason why Romania failed.
    1
  110. I received more than 2x that from the province 2 years ago at $600.
    1
  111. Because Canadians are too docile and spineless to take a stand and do anything about it. I guess that's "peace, order and good government."
    1
  112.  @Johnrider1234  Including even progressive Washington State.
    1
  113. LOL. Aside from Pierre-Karl Peladeau and whoever runs Saputo, there are not that many wealthy folks in Quebec.
    1
  114. And apparently, no tax on video games.
    1
  115. Only for you to be the first to flee once that socialism turns out to be like every other attempt.
    1
  116. <They have been scared off by the red tape.> They have been taxed and regulated out of existence.
    1
  117. Namely those who make over 49K a year.
    1
  118. Corporations are the biggest private employer in the country.
    1
  119. With what money?
    1
  120. @MATT CYPRESS Where you get to sink with them. LOL. There's a reason why they seldom last one term in nearly every province they were elected to govern.
    1
  121.  @arleyhaskell7241  While Libs want to throw money at the poor so they can pat themselves on the back thinking they solved the poverty issue not knowing that many of the poor will blow it foolishly.
    1
  122. But UBI will also mean nothing if you have nothing to buy with it as housing and food are unavailable.
    1
  123. <me i'm 100 % socialism. > Where everyone except the government is poor.
    1
  124. <I live in a city that has recently taken an undertaken to revitalize "slums" around the city. > You mean gentrify.
    1
  125.  @brendasbookcase3838  In other words, virtue-signaling.
    1
  126. Paid you off or coerced you to under threat of no support, no livelihood, no travel, etc.?
    1
  127. Just like his father.
    1
  128.  @D-B-Cooper  That barely have any functioning utilities.
    1
  129. But poverty exists, partly because some people cannot manage what they have.
    1
  130. Exactly.
    1
  131. Net.
    1
  132. LOL. Social programs don't help everyone. They only help some people at the expense of others.
    1
  133.  @gottasay1157  In favor of corporate renters.
    1
  134.  @pouglwaw5932  Plus have a decent tolerance for crime and volatile politics.
    1
  135.  @CrimsonA1  But Justin Trudeau would like to model Canada after China.
    1
  136. <Canadians with disabilities need out help from fellow Canadians.> That's what MAID is for.
    1
  137. Him and Harper also lowered the GST and introduced the public transit credit before Trudeau scrapped it.
    1
  138. The only people eligible for the $500 rental payment are welfare-recipients, pensioners and part-time workers.
    1
  139. Are they full-time or part-time?
    1
  140.  @alainmessier4565  Exactly.
    1
  141. <meanwhile some hospital and essential workers are only making 40,000> Take that up with the provincial legislature as those hospital and essential workers are employed by the province.
    1
  142. With resources stolen from those who work and produce.
    1
  143. Namely Crown ones.
    1
  144. Especially if you're male.
    1
  145. From the provincial governments.
    1
  146. This is what tax-the rich means in practice.
    1
  147.  @gcampagn  Exactly.
    1
  148.  @gcampagn  And avoid peeing off separatists.
    1
  149. Rent control doesn't work. And Toronto already did that in the 1990's.
    1
  150. <Ontario has repeatedly rejected any conditions, will simply pour the money into general accounts & use it for whatever it wants.> Same here in Quebec.
    1
  151. Equality doesn't exist. And this just society will become unjust within a generation.
    1
  152. And Somalia actually practiced "true" communism.
    1
  153. For a single person, the GST credit is currently $116.75. Supposedly for the next 6 payments, he/she is going to get $233.50 starting this coming October.
    1
  154. Poverty is not going anywhere.
    1
  155. No. That would be the current ruling Liberal Party.
    1
  156. Now? It used to be cleared for use after 3 AM on the day of payout.
    1
  157.  Truth Filter For YouTube  <take a look at Argentina....a wheel barrel full of cash for a loaf of bread and a jug of milk....literally !> Or Venezuela.
    1
  158. How about eliminate income tax altogether? After all, it was supposed to be a temporary measure.
    1
  159. Take it up with your mayors.
    1
  160.  @therecandyonlyone  Just ask Quebec.
    1
  161. Coupled with the lack of productivity.
    1
  162. And that price tag is your freedom.
    1
  163. <if the government regulated it like dirty useless commies we would still have a stable pension plan.> Like in China where the elderly are robbed of their pensions to fatten the bank accounts of CCP members and affiliates?
    1
  164. Lazy and irresponsible people, that is.
    1
  165. Are you willing to pay higher taxes or sacrifice the country's future economic viability for that?
    1
  166.  @Rottimail  And early 1980's.
    1
  167. Exactly.
    1
  168. Good question.
    1
  169. Especially if you're a leftist.
    1
  170. No. It's a one-time payment.
    1
  171. 1.
    1
  172.  @MrWallace484  And made less than $49K in the past calendar year.
    1
  173. They work for the people, alright! They work for themselves and their elitist friends.
    1
  174. I would have qualified for the $500 if this was 2012.
    1
  175. Also you need to make more babies. But then you would have to do a serious about-face on women's rights.
    1
  176. 70.
    1
  177. <We don't really have people from 1st world countries trying to move here, and for obvious reasons.> The US is around.
    1
  178. 9:22 It's amusing how social housing is still unaffordable to those whose entire existence is subsidized by everyone else.
    1
  179.  @anthonywalker6168  Only of you're white as white South Africans have the best healthcare in the country.
    1
  180. The unvaxxed are getting nothing.
    1
  181.  @conniesenesr6915  November 4th.
    1
  182.  @dallassegno  Government-imposed slavery.
    1
  183.  @janegilbert7896  As found in most dictatorships.
    1
  184. Until it doesn't when the money runs out. And by the way, benefit programs are designed for control not upliftment keeping the poor right where they are.
    1
  185. <So wage increases are bad for the private sector > Namely for small and medium business.
    1
  186.  @derekrank4572  Not really. You probably have more of a budgeting issue than a wage one.
    1
  187.  @ATinyPillow  "He who does not work shall not eat." - 2 Thessalonians 3:10
    1
  188. And ultimately control you.
    1
  189. His stores are independently owned. You mean it's the franchise-owners who can't pay their employees enough as they're directly responsible for hiring them. Weston Jr makes money off rent and royalties.
    1
  190. Like they already did with EI.
    1
  191. No.
    1
  192.  @dinimakhmudov1674  Truth.
    1
  193.  @mathias8627  LOL
    1
  194.  @MT-tw6rh  <God has a special place for those who don't and won't care for the lesser of us.> Not really as it's not your neighbor's job to take care of you.
    1
  195.  @tomgold5646  <You can thank ppl from Asia and the Middle east > Mostly those with political connections.
    1
  196. But no government wants to be seen as racist or xenophobic.
    1
  197. Apparently I'm going to get $600 on December 2nd, but from the province that is Quebec as they just announced the credit today.
    1
  198. Take that up with Doug Ford.
    1
  199.  @Rottimail  What do you mean have to?
    1
  200. So does greedy socialism.
    1
  201.  @miltonbates6425  Exactly.
    1
  202.  @venus_envy  Mostly visible minorities.
    1
  203. Plus, Canadians love their personal comforts and they're kind of expensive to maintain.
    1
  204. It depends on province.
    1
  205. To pay for the ever-increasing size of government.
    1
  206. It's stating to feel like Argentina.
    1
  207. Like what Venezuela currently has?
    1
  208. Maybe. That depends on the province. For Quebec this time around people who the government money will still be able to get it. Last time, I got a $150 difference from a $500 payment they gave out earlier in the year.
    1
  209. To him, Quebec is an independent country.
    1
  210. Apparently this GST Rebate increase is supposed to come in 2 weeks time as it got approved.
    1
  211. How about revoke their citizenship and deport them?
    1
  212. Handouts have never gotten anyone out of poverty. They were designed to keep people in poverty though complacency and discouragement of any attempt to improve your financial situation and supprt yourself.
    1
  213. Because it's too lucrative.
    1
  214.  @SupportThe0ppositeNPC  It figures.
    1
  215. I just barely qualified for the workers' benefit as with my pension contributions, I was able to get my net income low enough.
    1
  216. Not really. Liberals were always compassionate and caring. Only with other people's money and toward foreign elites and migrants, while screwing over the same little man they claim to he helping. How's that $15/hr minimum wage and tax-the-rich policies working out?
    1
  217. That is true.
    1
  218. Equality does not and can not exist in a free world.
    1
  219.  @cdncrooner1  Austerity being the result of bad left-wing economics that leaves countries effectively bankrupt.
    1
  220.  @monsieurfortuna9952  So do Liberals. Live it up now, suffer the consequences later.
    1
  221.  @markgnarz5399  Should have moved to Quebec.
    1
  222. <Some middle-eastern countries do a form of UBI through oil profits, > With infrastructure built and maintained by foreign migrant labor.
    1
  223.  @barbaratrueman185  Reasonable by Edmonton standards.
    1
  224. Yet the left still practice it.
    1
  225. That won't save you.
    1
  226. You don't have to apply to get it. It's predetermined.
    1
  227. Simple. American companies don't live here. And this is Canada.
    1
  228. Eliminate or really perpetuate poverty by (co-)dependency.
    1
  229.  @Krisp138  Especially the able-bodied.
    1
  230.  @kellyprice1024  Which are government-subsidized and in turn home-owners subsidize co-op members' rent.
    1
  231. Or better yet give all the money to elites in foreign countries.
    1
  232. For singles, it will be $175. And LOL @ the GST credit being double. It's actually 50% added onto what you currently get per year divided by 4.
    1
  233.  @BetterYet  Exactly.
    1
  234. Wrong! Governments do. Corporations have nothing to do with high taxes and reckless spending .

  235.  @derekrank4572  ,<and that the way things will be.> With the landlords losing their properties due to non-payment of mortgage or property tax and the tenants getting evicted anyway. All they have left for housing are condos where the rent is pretty much that whole UBI payment.
    1
  236. How much?
    1
  237. And it certainly doesn't help that Canada hardly produces anything anymore.
    1
  238. Only to get put right back into poverty once inflation takes effect.
    1
  239. India.
    1
  240. Enabled and facilitated by the government taxing and regulating smaller business out of existence.
    1
  241. But it is if you're looking to them to give it out.
    1
  242.  @verabrunobossio2857  Also high suicide rate.
    1
  243. It's a step-up from the political and social unrest in their home countries.
    1
  244. Families have other mouths to feed and raise. Singles and seniors only have their own and no one to raise.
    1
  245. LOL
    1
  246. To replace working class Canadian citizens and consolidate more power in favor of the Liberals.
    1
  247. With what money?
    1
  248. That's what Quebec is currently doing.
    1
  249.  @themax37  A leisure-based society will not last.
    1
  250. <Taxing won't affect the rich/ invester. It will only cause middle class and lower to suffer.> Because taxes protect the wealthy by undermining any attempt by the poor and middle class to improve their financial situations.
    1
  251. @MATT CYPRESS It's not a matter of them refusing to but a matter of them not being able to as their revenues are not big enough to absorb the new operating cost spikes. <the don't deserve to be operational.> And employees don't deserve to complain about no one wanting to hire them when that drastic minimum wage increase they so clamored for priced them out of the job market.
    1
  252.  @kavishdoshi9375  Why is Quebec not an option for you?
    1
  253. 4 times a year. One payment every 3 months.
    1
  254. Government is only there to help themselves at the people's expense.
    1
  255. Poverty alleviation or poverty exacerbation?
    1
  256. He had a knife stuck in it.
    1
  257. <Its also a lot cheaper to pay out a UBI> Not with a bloated bureaucracy in charge of paying it out.
    1
  258. And most of them live in the city they're now crying about they can't afford.
    1
  259. Children are not old enough to work.
    1
  260. No it won't given that many Canadians are lousy with personal finances.
    1
  261.  @dilpickles5928  Socialism is every bit as greedy <People who bash socialism have no idea what they are talking about.> People who defend socialism are really just advocating for their own subjugation and state-imposed impoverishment deludedly believing they're going to be in charge and reap the benefits like the useful idiots Vladimir Lenin called them. <Go look at the poverty that exists in places like Africa or the Philippines.. Where socialism is non existant, there you can see the true horrors when the ruling class abandons it's people> Africa did socialism for most of its post-colonial existence with Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Somalia becoming the poster boys for everything gone wrong with Africa. And all 3 had and/or still have socialist leadership.
    1
  262.  @normanmccollum6082  Don't forget heterosexual.
    1
  263. Drop the Carbon Tax.
    1
  264. <either raise peoples incomes..> Only to be cancelled out by raised costs to support it. <OR lower cost of rent and food.> Only to run into shortages as developers and producers are not going to operate at a steep discount let alone for free.
    1
  265.  @dilpickles5928  Social assistance.
    1
  266. Which comes up to $233.50.
    1
  267.  @jasoncaumartin7788  For a grand total of a few years tops until other people's money dries up.
    1
  268. No it doesn't.
    1
  269. Rent is the least of their problems. They have personal finance issues.
    1
  270. As far as the people are willing to put up with.
    1
  271. Mostly likely the latter.
    1
  272.  @derekrank4572  That's if single men are even eligible for welfare.
    1
  273. As long as it's less than $49 200, you should.
    1
  274. That's the Canadian way.
    1
  275. Currently it's based on the 2021 tax returns. You're going to have to wait until the new year for the 2022 tax returns to be the criteria.
    1
  276.  @dano3952  Not really. It's only so if you don't have the skills, ambition or smarts for anything better.
    1
  277.  @darius1084  Very much.
    1
  278.  @RC-fh2lk  Whether you're making minimum wage or 6 figures.
    1
  279.  @gerhardschulzy  Not at all. They only benefit the elderly, disabled and deadbeat.
    1
  280.  @neonstream6935  Due to government mandates. But the taking responsibility argument stands regardless.
    1
  281.  @earthangel6286  Taxes will never go down as the government increases in size, the number of people needing social assistance grows while the amount of people who work and pay taxes shrink.
    1
  282.  @Todd.T  Exactly.
    1
  283.  @jasoncaumartin7788  While Liberals complain about the unaffordable dystopia they happily voted for.
    1
  284.  @brettthomas5605  Or even Russia.
    1
  285.  @debbiekonkin5768  Or Argentina.
    1
  286. <If only enough people were smart enough to vote NDP.> And leave Canada bankrupt just like they left bankrupt every other province they got elected to run? There's a reason why they were a one-term party. If anything, Canadians are wise not to vote for them. We don't want a Venezuela or Greece 2.0.
    1
  287. Lower and eliminate some taxes. Fire a good portion of the government/public sector.
    1
  288. Tax revolt. That's how the US came to be.
    1
  289.  @comedianmattrossey  And end up like Jamaica under Manley when the wealthy fled leaving only the unskilled and illiterate to bear the brunt?
    1
  290. Pretty much.
    1
  291.  @MT-tw6rh  Most of whom due to circumstances well within their control compounded by circumstances beyond their control.
    1
  292.  @jasoncaumartin7788  And end up like Venezuela?
    1
  293. Pol Pot would been so proud of you.
    1
  294. But they have no jobs, amenities or desirability.
    1
  295.  @ftu2021  ROFL
    1
  296. Instigated by the Left. Weren't they supposed to be for the people?
    1
  297. Once upon a time, income tax was a temporary measure.
    1
  298. Apparently not as I got the regular rate.
    1
  299. Just like how Alberta taxpayers subsidize Quebec's $7/day daycare program.
    1
  300. The only $600 I heard of is what is rumored the Quebec provincial government might give out before the end of the year.
    1
  301.  @o1vttemp  Today it has been confirmed. The $600 credit is coming December 2nd.
    1
  302.  @o1vttemp  In Quebec, yes.
    1
  303.  @o1vttemp  It is.
    1
  304. Take that up with Doug Ford.
    1
  305. Somalis are not quite black.
    1
  306. And white people happily voted for it.
    1
  307. Yet you want the middle class to pay for it. SMH.
    1
  308. LOL <1000 get 100 dollars and we all spend it in no time, so the economy moves $100,000 forward.> You all spend it only to cry about being broke and hungry the next day. There's a reason why whatever successes socialism achieve are short-lived.
    1
  309. But given the total you're eligible for, it won't be worth it as $467 divided by 12 months is $38.62.
    1
  310.  @joebazooks  And unsurprisingly, a lot of their voter base live in public housing.
    1
  311. $500? So far, that's only being given out by provincial governments. I already got mine albeit the difference since I owed the province money.
    1
  312. LOL.
    1
  313.  @ktp.  Clueless.
    1
  314. November 4th.
    1
  315. You can in Montreal.
    1
  316. And how is that going to work when the government inevitably runs out of rich people and corporations to tax?
    1
  317.  @tadasanamusic  That's not mental illness. That's laziness and entitlement.
    1
  318. No. Monthly cheques are a provincial thing.
    1
  319. <And step up and regulate homeowners.> And then you wonder why there are barely any homes for anyone to buy and developers would much rather build condos. And in turn, prices are through the roof. Government interference.
    1
  320. Communists are every bit as imperialist as they accuse capitalists of being.
    1
  321. As a matter of government policy.
    1
  322. LOL. Because they're easy to manipulate and control.
    1
  323. Isn't Tiff a girl's name? Short for Tiffany?
    1
  324. But to most, it's either Toronto, Vancouver or death.
    1
  325. Rent control is ineffective as it cause supply shortages and locks out new renters from the market. <that rents could not be raised more then 2% per year.> And how is that going to help against the insurance premiums, property taxes, mortgages and interest, etc. that are rising much higher than 2%?
    1
  326. LOL. Programs are not designed for social upliftment, but social control keeping people right where they are.
    1
  327.  @eilaollinheimo4573  The provincial payouts I got earlier this year were better than that.
    1
  328. I think so.
    1
  329.  @debbiekonkin5768  Or do a better job at managing the money you do have.
    1
  330. Not completely. Politicians have always been users and exploiters.
    1
  331.  @LolaRyck  <low class pay too. > No they don't. And certainly not enough to make any meaningful contribution to coffers. <Lower class do not get a lot of help. That’s why we’re lower class Lower class with multiple kids get a lot of help. But not enough to get out of poverty > Partly due to parents living beyond their means.
    1
  332.  @ftu2021  <if you think that the US is any better, think again.> That's if you only desire to live in the Northeast or West Coast.
    1
  333. It doesn't help anyone except power-hungry governments.
    1
  334. Who's all Canadians?
    1
  335. But line the pockets of administrators and government workers.
    1
  336. According to my account on the Revenu Quebec website, my $600 credit will come 12-6-2022.
    1
  337.  @kellyprice1024  Like a true Marxist.
    1
  338.  @saturationstation1446  LOL. You mean socialism, right? That's the only system that actually has a 1% and 99% IN PRACTICE.
    1
  339.  @MoringAfterStar  <So it's not Justin that's screwing up our country, > Yes it is. <Unfortunately the conservative minded think we need to keep spending money of big business even after record profits in 2021 and 2022.> All under Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party of Canada's watch.
    1
  340. <The support needs to come from our private sector in the form of dramatic wage increases.> Which will only result in dramatic operating and overall retail cost increases to support said wages.
    1
  341.  @AS-rk5vb  Which in turn means less product for consumers to buy should greedy operator decide to cut production and supply. Who are you trying to fool?
    1
  342. The date for the "grocery" rebate has been announced. 7/5/2023.
    1
  343. But small towns don't have the amenities, prestige or support network (a sizeable community of their own countrymen) that big cities have.
    1
  344. To increase the size of government and in turn the taxes to pay their salaries.
    1
  345. Like it saved the average Venezuelan's?
    1
  346.  @jasoncaumartin7788  With what money?
    1
  347. Higher minimum wage = higher operating costs = higher prices and unemployment. <overtime after 8 hours/day NOT 44 hours/weekly> No.
    1
  348. Exactly.
    1
  349.  @Ryan-vc4lr  But will have little to buy as there's no longer any industries that produce or sell anything.
    1
  350.  @Ryan-vc4lr  <That's just not the case..> Yes it is. See Venezuela.
    1
  351. Mostly meth-heads.
    1
  352. Only if you're a part-timer.
    1
  353. Exactly.
    1
  354. It won't solve much.
    1
  355. Yes.
    1
  356. <There has to be a point in society where working to live is no longer a part of survival.> But no society survived on laziness. Even animals have to work.
    1
  357.  @RDGray  <There will be a time in the future when robotics, automation and AI will do most of the work for us.> That is until they break down requiring human repair and maintenance. <It's about having the ability and resources to discover your passions and being given the ability to pursue and fulfill them.> Only to end up creating a soft society that cannot feed or defend itself.
    1
  358.  @dano3952  Europe is just barely a generation removed from its fascist/communist days. It figures.
    1
  359.  @joshdoddadbod  Except Quebecers.
    1
  360. Tax the rich is just leftspeak for tax the productive, responsible and successful.
    1
  361. <ALSO WHATS WITH STORES SAYING NO TO CURRENCY THEY DONT ACCPT BILLS 50 or $100 that’s against the law yet they post it on the windows of the shops why aren’t they being charged for saying no to money > Actually, no it's not. And which stores are saying NO to physical currency besides some retail boutique stores, corner stores and convenience stores?
    1
  362. Under Khrushchev, yeah! But under Brezhnev was when the Soviet Union started declining.
    1
  363. To the delight of the government.
    1
  364.  @daproyaknow7056  Yeah! As long as someone else is paying for it.
    1
  365.  @daproyaknow7056  And then collapse like every other former Soviet vassal state when other people's money ran out.
    1
  366. The "free" healthcare leaves plenty to be desired.
    1
  367.  @myleshagar9722  Mostly "real" Canadians.
    1
  368. You have only Jean Chretien, Paul Martin and the previous Liberal government to thank for that. Cutting affordable social housing was one of the first things they did when they got into office in the early 90's.
    1
  369. <Then Turdeau spends $6000 dollars a night for a hotel room, that money could be feed a lot of people.> Only for a day. And then for those people, it's right back to being broke and hungry.
    1
  370. It's impossible, because to begin with, not everyone can be rich. And it has little to do with the system.
    1
  371. Which comes up to $175.13 for singles.
    1
  372. Very much.
    1
  373. How did you get denied EI?
    1
  374. At the earliest, it will be 12/2/2022.
    1
  375.  @pamelaliegh  Who's we?
    1
  376. Certianly not without some strings attached.
    1
  377. You have only the carbon tax to thank for that. It jacked up the costs of producing and distributing.
    1
  378.  @mikeogilvie1693  Most of which government-run.
    1
  379.  @pennyroyaltea17  Pretty much.
    1
  380. The only people eligible are welfare-recipients, pensioners and part-time workers.
    1
  381.  @evab2132  Liberals are little more than useful idiots to communists.
    1
  382.  @louisehislop2373  Logical and effective only to those who think money grows on trees and inflation doesn't exist.
    1
  383. Usually through inflation or higher taxes.
    1
  384.  @pattiliba8188  Just like the current PM and his step-daddy.
    1
  385.  @travmacl4419  Hardly.
    1
  386. <Also building smaller makes it quicker to sell. > But zoning restrictions have made those illegal to build. <We have too many builders focused on building close to mansion sized homes for the average person and its led to this issue. > Because that's one of the only kinds of housing they're legally allowed to build with a decent ROI given the zoning restrictions and high building costs.
    1
  387. The middle class and then the not-completely poor.
    1
  388. <That leaves the NDP. They have been so badly smeared by the capitalists nobody will vote for them,> No. The NDP brought it upon themselves with their rather dismal record of governance in every other province they were elected. There's a reason why up until recently they were a one-term party.
    1
  389. But the vaxxed are the ones spreading diseases these days.
    1
  390. Too bad even more people are irresponsible with finances. The supposed lack of living wage is the least of their problems.
    1
  391. <167 Billions collected from Canadians in 2020 in income tax > With a good portion of those Canadians employees of said corporations you want to tax.
