Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, Stephen
Harper, Tom Mulcair, Justin Trudeau; all Slash Their own Throats. Still, They Continue
Bleeding; Over Canada; Over Canadian Pensioners, Seniors, Taxpayers, and
Working Canadians.
Alberta Premier defends "embarrassing
cousin" comment. Rachel Notley
is doubling down on
controversial comments that Alberta's environmental record makes the province
the "embarrassing cousin" to the rest of Canada.
In a TV interview on Monday, Notley said the NDP
government is working to improve the province's environmental reputation so
Alberta can be "genuinely proud to be a leader as opposed to the embarrassing
cousin no one wants to talk about."
If, elected; Stephen Harper, Tom Mulcair Justin
Trudeau all Promise To Do A Small Part Of The Job Canadians EXPECT of a Prime
Minister, by spending taxpayer and money already owing to PENSIONERS on some
PET PROJECTS. All three main federal parties have been courting seniors in
recent days.
If, these career politicians CAN ACCOMPLISH ALL
THIS; AFTER ELECTION 2015; why has it not been done before?
Sept. 15, 2015: Stephen Harper
promises new tax credit for single, widowed seniorsThe new tax credit will cost
about $23 million in its first year, with that number rising to $397 million
once it is fully implemented. It can be claimed against all income other than
Canada Pension Plan income or Old Age Security payments.
Harper said that seniors have worked and saved
their whole lives and they know best how to make financial decisions about
their retirement.
The Tory leader has been highly critical of the NDP
and Liberal pledges to expand the Canada Pension Plan A re-elected Conservative
government would offer a new tax credit for single and widowed seniors, party
leader Stephen Harper said Tuesday.
Harper announced the $2,000 tax credit — which
would be phased in over four years beginning in January 2017 — during a
campaign stop in Vancouver. He said it would provide tax relief — up to $300 a
year — to 1.6 million seniors across the country who have pension incomes.
The new tax credit can be combined with the
existing $2,000 pension income credit. According to the Tories, seniors who
claim both tax credits could see a net benefit of up to $600 per year.
Sept. 14, 2015: Tom Mulcair
makes multiple pledges to
improve health care.
Announcements Come 1 Day After NDP Promised $1.8
Billion to Improve Seniors Care.
Sept. 14, 2015: Justin Trudeau
Courts Seniors With Pension Pledge. Liberal leader says he will develop plan to
bolster CPP within 3 months of taking office.
Remove the tax-free status of one-third of salaries
for mayor and councillors. This historic anachronism needs to be changed. Several
years ago, the provincial government scrapped the tax-free allowance for its
MLAs, and now it's time to change the law and dump this perk for municipal
politicians.
Everyone should pay their own way when it comes to
taxes. It's neither fair nor just for someone to wriggle out of paying income
tax. However, the B.C. government has agreed to compensate a major liquefied
natural gas project if it raises taxes on the LNG industry for a 25-year period
after the plant starts shipping.
September 15, 2015, VICTORIA: Government is not
SUPPOSED to be a PRIVATE, FOR PROFIT BUSINESS CORPORATION yet, Finance Minister
Mike de Jong says almost $400 million in forest fire costs singed the
province’s bottom line, but British
Columbia remains in the black.
He
says B.C.’s surplus has dipped $7
million from the forecast last February of $284 million, but the province is still on target to
post a $277 million budget surplus in 2015.
De Jong says firefighting costs have hit $380
million, a huge leap from the $60 million forecast last year, but not enough to
create a deficit. He Adds Those Bills are Offset by Stronger Income Tax and
Property Revenues, Which Climbed $374 Million. De Jong calls B.C.’s economy
“remarkably resilient” while other province’s fortunes are declining.
September 15, 2015: Not everyone is happy one of BC
Ferries’ best-known ships has a new owner, but, amid rumours the CORPORATION
didn't
get nearly what it was worth not everyone is happy about the sale. The Queen of
Chilliwack ran the central coast route, but was Decommissioned During the
cost-savings Service Cuts. Five years ago it was given $15 million in upgrades,
but the province is not saying how much it sold the vessel for at this time. The
Ferry(Crown, owned by the tax/FARE paying citizens of British Columbia) Corporation
says it is still in the process of selling two other boats and disclosing what
was paid for this one could undermine negotiations.
Everyone should pay their own way when it comes to
taxes. It's neither fair nor just for someone to wriggle out of paying income
tax just because they are an elected official.
Jul 06, 2015: Finance Minister Mike de Jong
released details on Monday of the $36-billion deal it reached in May with
Pacific NorthWest LNG, A Consortium Led By Malaysian Energy Giant Petronas Which
Wants To Build An LNG Export Terminal Near Prince Rupert.
Under the terms of the agreement, B.C. has agreed
to compensate the LNG consortium if taxes on the industry are raised, natural
gas tax credits are reduced or new carbon taxes targeting the LNG sector are
imposed. But the minister says the agreement does not protect the company from
increases in provincial sales and corporate taxes.
Of
course, such tax breaks are of no use to such a Consortium of foreign investors
(OWNERS); UNLESS; they are able to transport, and then ship, to buyers, THEIR
LNG product.
In
order to do that; they (Malaysian Energy Giant Petronas) need the Canadian
government—the career politicians-- to FINIANCE building of a pipe line, LNG
storage facilities (to be built through use of a low pay, foreign worker,
program.
Legislature recalled for rare summer session: On
Monday, the government will convene for a rare, summer session of the
legislature to debate the deal. NDP MLA Bruce Ralston says it's a good deal for
the company, but not good enough for British Columbians. He says it should have
contained firmer commitments on jobs and training. Legislature

TransLink keeps raising taxes and fares while
crying poor—why then do they keep giving their highly-paid executives bonuses?
