I get it: the ghouls who have super-charged their prices want a government subsidy. FUCK 'EM, when I die, let my corpse rot on their front lawn. Maybe then they'll figure out how to live with one less yacht.

Thoughts and prayers, lots and lots of thoughts.

And prayers.

If someone was willing to bring Galen Jerky to the party I’d be there is a heart-beat. Even if it was teriyaki or honey garlic.

Eat the rich, thinly sliced on Weston bread.

Once again, the Federal gov bears the brunt of populist, provincial bullies without a clue. Politics in this country are a train wreck and now the carrion-fed Koch organization is pecking at the dead flesh. Yeah, and while we're at it, in pre-election mode, let's spend $8M and counting to remind us all how good things are under the blue oaf in Ontario.

see, renewables contracts, Bill 124, this cap and trade, the greenbelt changes, the OEB override and legislation

If they could get their share price above a dime it might make them somewhat more credible; as it stands, meh, another wingnut opinion masquerating as fact.

Dismissed.

 

Here we go again. Buy your TP early, don't be left out!!

The theory you describe is an endlessly increasing resource stream? Or is there a point where taxpayers run out of resources and the doctors, no longer getting what they want, withdraw their services? Does this sound like a rational and well thought out path forward?

What about the taxes not paid on income through deductions? If the business is paying out 25-30% in legitimate expenses against the Doctor's income, it's a push. No-one has got anything near an increase to keep up with inflation over the past time span they reference - that's why Galen Weston is the poster-boy for corporate greed: HE makes more (as do the investor-class of land-owners and stock-players) while we plebes foot the bill.

Goddam, I'd like to get ahead, too, who wouldn't? But the implicit message here is "Pay me more or I'm gone." So CTV interviews one doctor who's uncertain she'll get sufficient ROI on her Canadian taxpayer subsidized education, who's facing making a median $250K a year and upset that after expenses and taxes, she won't have enough left to pay herself anything but "a pretty low rate".

How low? Well... $250K minus 30% expenses is $175K - and if they are legit deductions, her tax bill will be around $38500, leaving her $136500 as take home. That's $47.40 per hour.

Here's some free advice, buttercup, we're all in the same boat, we just don't all work in a profession that garners 6-month probationary writers to hear us whinge.

Source: Wikipedia, based on 2023 data for OPS (Police), OFS, OPS (Paramedic). And the article in the title.

 

Half a story, told from the 1% perspective, is a trope with the CEEB these days. A manufactured crisis to elicit a singular response. Pity the poor land owner, being held hostage by the big bad tenant. Boo fucking hoo.

Anyone ever had their accommodations "renovicted" or been left idle for a year so the rapacious land owner could jack the rent up? I have and it fucking sucks.

I guess when the system works in favour of the land owners, it's all OK and just a bunch of whinging peasants. Coverage of renovictions? Puh-shaw!!!

So cry me a river, CEEB, your shilling for the land owners rings pretty hollow here.

 

Pretty much the title: I see multiple posts on 3-day old accounts, all promoting disinfo for the RUS, ISR, CHI or some weirdo faction thereof. CanI set a filter on my account to ignore these prolific bastards until they have attained certain age or number of responses that exceed the AI 's smarmy word count?
