Id be seriously hard pressed to refer to anyone as your worship without laughing.

Your board just tried to cynically use the children that you teach as pawns in a scare tactic.

Would you prefer they used operational money to cover capital shortfalls?

Governments regularly put resources into propaganda...err...advertising....err PR.

This amount is probably a rounding error for the amount of resources that have been dumped into propaganda with...

I've never suggested it's a good trade for the public to provide endless job and salary security to teachers. Our world would be better if teachers and nurses were also exposed to market forces.

how about "the people who pay my salary are suffering...maybe I should chip in"

$$$ don't matter. $$$/hr does

Why do these trustees even exist? It sounds like the negotiation here was between the management of the CBE and the provincial government.

Clearly the patriarchy is alive and well!

Also didn't know that one of the trustees is our friend Kent Hehr's daddy Dick Hehr. It's all coming together now.

These people and Mr. BC...

To answer my question above:

The CFO of the CBE is a dude named Brad Grundy.

Brad's an interesting cat. He's from the BC public sector. I'll call that strike one.

Second, as far back as...

Good read actually.

What I don't like is that everyone says "The CBE". The board is just made up of a bunch of people.

Who are they? Why don't we refer to them by name instead of "The CBE".
...

wait, people watched House of Cards past the first season?

That show was horrible - except for that first season.

It depends on what you mean by doing more.

Do you mean subsidies?

The best way to create economic growth is to have free and open regulations, taxation systems, capital markets. Then the...

This is correct. People are confusing "Asset" with "cash flow".

Somewhat different concerns. But suggesting the Alberta should "diversify away from Oil and Gas" is like telling someone that has a...

Was filmed in Drumheller wasnt it?

I believe the author's point is that consent is largely a social construct. A good social construct, but a construct nonetheless.

It's interesting when people (not you here, but in general), suggest that "all cultures around the world have equivalent value" and it's all just a matter of perspective. Sorry, no. Western...

I'll have to remember specifics on the hilarious Doug Stanhope bit where he says that Indian men gang rape because they aren't strong enough to solo rape.

Once someone figures out how to monetize reps, you guys are all going to be wishing you had taken a different approach.

Kenney isn't that fat

forums are serious business, people.

He's posting while banned! What kind of devil work is this.

that should be self evident

That's just advice for other people. Not me.

#taggedsafefromCRA

Exactly. Better to go big on things that are harder to spot by the CRA than small things that are easy.

Trying to squeeze a few extra bucks out of questionable write-offs just isn't worth it.

this just means you overpaid on your payments (by definition)

i like egnong with rum...hold the eggnog

Public employees: "give the government more money because its the best at doing all the things!"

also public employees: "dont give the government our pensions! Governments are corrupt and...

Nobody is stopping people from setting up new businesses in Alberta.

irresponsible of who?

I have no interest in pets at all. Never will own one.

But I'm fucking addicted to animal rescue videos.

I would say the probability of CRA getting aggressive with you is way, way lower if they just see a mileage charge to your corp.

shots fired!

Our government handing $300 million of taxpayer dollars to billionaires is exactly why we shouldn't be letter governments pick winners and losers.

Scorsese also did the pilot for Vinyl, but I never watched that.

Steven Soderberg did all of the episdes of The Knick which was a good show.

Yeah, basically ALL tv uses multiple directors out of necessity. They sometimes hire a famous director to do the pilot to set the tone for a bunch of lackey directors to do the rest. David Fincher...

Really interesting...I like learning new stuff.

Can you elaborate on the 5% thing?

Governments are not good at picking winners and losers and should not be doing so.

I think you have to track your personal use one way or the other.

Also - the lease write-off is dependent on the value of the car (IIRC). I'm definitely not an expert on these things.
