Budget 2015

[Hopperbin]

In tfsa account you paid the tax on the money depositted. Take out gain tax exempt. Saskatchewan the corp tax haven of canada who would have thought?

[riders2010]

No plan what so ever for agriculture or transportation improvements.

What is the TFSA useful for? Dividend tax credit makes it largely useless for Cdn dividend stocks, US assets are taxed by uncle Sam in a TFSA. The only thing to invest a TFSA in is REITS and bond funds.

Balanced budget, good to see.
Good changes with capital gains allowance increased to 2 million per husband and wife.
Have to start investing heavier into TFSA now that limit is $10,000 per year.
This current government has knocked a lot of home runs out of the park with trade deals.
Next one up TPP?

Balanced budget???

Took $2 billion out of contingency fund, sold $3 billion of GM share last week and now the budget is balanced.

I guess as a farmer I could sell a piece of farm equipment, take money out of my saving account or RRSP apply it towards my operating loan to cover it, then declare I had a successful year making money off farm grain sales.

If you guys are buying this balance budget crap, just wondering how you farm finances are.

Yes and they still lost 3 billion on gm
