Taking the Wind Out of Their Sails

So we’ve got telecoms suing each other over their ad claims and trying to block new entrants with lobbying. We’ve got a new entrant that has finally made it to market. And we’ve plenty of new phones and changes to plans happening here in Canada.

What does it all mean?

Sadly, not much!

Federal Liberals still begging for hand-outs without doing anything to deserve them

I got another letter from the Federal Liberal Party of Canada today, extolling the virtues for their glorious leader and how much better they would be at running the country than the current crop of scoundrels (my words). The bottom of the letter includes a little form where you can contribute to their Victory fund. Here’s what I sent back…

I make my contributions every pay cheque and put the money in some boring fund or blue-chip company and wait for retirement to come along (the sooner the better).

But those boring funds and blue chips got a lot more exciting on Hallowe’en in October 2006. Up until that time, and during the previous election in which the Stephen Harper’s Conservatives received their first minority mandate, we had been assured that their government would never raid senior’s nest eggs.

OnProbation.ca Feedback Forum – ask Stephen Harper a question

The Liberal party of Canada recently (today?) opened a new web site, onProbation.ca where they are discussing their ideas and have a Feedback Forum called Ask the PM where they state

Send your questions and comments to the Prime Minister and help us make sure that he’s listening.

So I added a question regarding the taxation of income trusts, which is currently ranked number six and rising steadily.
