Giving away saver's money like lolly pops when over half of Canadians do not even have $200 in their pocket at month-end? Everyone driving Mercedes on credit, RV's all on credit, boats, vacations, big houses, this is insane!

[zeefarmer]

Agreed sumdum. I sure wonder some days why I'm busting my tail trying to get ahead when everyone seems entitled to what I've worked and risked for. I'll just quote a fellow off of Agtalk. "This will not end well." When it ends I don't know.

Agree with the last two , this is going to crash hard . You can't spend $2 for every $1 you make - it's gonna crash sooner than later.

So, do you guys mean that the $68,000 fifth wheel camper and 2014 super duty truck pulling are not paid for?
What does this matter? Mom and Dad are making memories with their young family. Thats what its about. Kids dont care how much money you make. They will remember the fun times with Mom and Dad even if some stuff goes away this winter.

Setting lifestyle standards for the little bastards that they may not be able to maintain themselves as adults? ...way to go mom and dad!

Credit should be a privilege not a right!

Few want to start at the bottom and if the "Joneses'" can have it why can't I?

[farmaholic]

No one gets executed or imprisoned for declaring bankruptcy. ...what do you have to lose if you have no conscience or don't care? Debt write-down, mediation, restucturing, interest waived, repossess?

Go for it, live large!

And talk of subsidized national daycare plan. Why not buy a house u can afford, sell the cottage and seadoos, and no need to lease a suv and 4x4 truck every two or three years. As i said before, wait for it, trudeau will tap into farm incomes to help pay for these lifestyles.

Oh they are making memories all right. How many of these memory making parents have a RESP plan for the kids? And how many max out the contributions each year? The government matches 30%. Its free money you clowns but hey just go on making memories.

This seems to be the problem with these millennial kids they all expect to have their parents live style when they are in their 20s. You don't have to look very far to see mid 20 kids with no education and no career.

Teach your kids how to spend less than they make and that memory will last a life time.

Iceman, you must be a real barrel of monkeys visiting at the lake talking about accepting 30% free govt money for your contribution to your children's training and/or education opportunities.
You can diffuse the awkwardness by saying " I just told them to make the monthly payments the same."

MB look at lethbridge going after feedlots with tax per load. Fallout from declining oil revenue means the bullseye is now on ag. It's easier to go after us as we are not organized or willing to shut the tap off. Completely agree with you.

[bucket]

Easy to go after agriculture. ....you can't pack up your land and go somewhere else....


Wall destroyed the base...eliminated a few goodies to an industry that built this province.....meanwhile still using tax dollars to lure the fly by nighters.....
