$6B to Quebec

So you freeriders are okay with for profit long term care for seniors even if means they cut corners and let granny dehydrate and wither away?

Caseih, I need your help trying to define what qualifies as excess profits.
Do you think that a farm who can afford to spend as much money as the cost of a new pickup truck on virtue signaling solar panels has excess profits?

AF, I am reading your post about paying taxes. I dont think we should be proud to pay excessive taxes especially when they are wasted in Africa or used to buy votes in the maritimes. Quebec doesnt feel guilty about taking our money, we shouldnt feel guilty about not sending it.

Since Trudeau got in we have been working hard to structure our farm to pay almost no tax federally. Most of our personal taxation is property taxes which stay in the province. Our personal income is from dividends which are taxed very lightly and then we lean heavily on our corporation to keep the rest at bare min.

No taxation without representation.

I would rather have my non farming kids own my property than the gov or some teachers union.

Agree. But then you darn well make sure your ACB is as high as you can get it during transition and there's cash for the tax. Who would've believed $5000/ac 20 years ago??

To clarify. I don't think corporate rates are excessive. At least for a growing business reinvesting in itself. Personal absolutely are punitive. We take very little personal income out.
And don't get me started on the waste and vote buying going on in Ottawa.

But I would far sooner be in a position where I get to pay taxes then in a perpetual position where I don't have to pay taxes, the latter is not very sustainable.

Manitoba has fallen!

1.2 billion from the federal government for daycare and early learning.

Saskatchewan and Alberta will follow.

Manitoba signs on to federal $10-a-day child-care plan

Plan aims to create 23,000 full-time spaces by 2025-26

Manitoba has signed on to a federal plan to provide daycare at an average cost of $10 a day in regulated child-care spaces starting next year.

Under the plan, the federal government promises to spend $1.2 billion to fund early learning and child care in Manitoba over the next five years.

"It is no exaggeration to say that this is the largest child-care deal ever struck by the province of Manitoba in its nearly 151 year history," Manitoba Families Minister Rochelle Squires said at a news conference announcing the plan Monday.

Federal Families, Children and Social Development Minister Ahmed Hussen and Squires made the announcement at the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg in Westwood.

"This is the result of really hard work on both sides — the result of frank conversations, compromises, making sure that we're listening to each other, making sure we learned about the special circumstances of the early-learning and child-care sector in Manitoba," Hussen said.

Parents of young children, particularly women, have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, and now that much of the economy is reopening, they are facing "the impossible choice of either staying at home to take care of their kids or going back to work and paying very high child-care fees and fighting for those hard-to-get child-care spaces," he said.

The plan will cut costs for families by 50 per cent for children up to six years old in regulated child care by the end of the year, the two governments said in a news release.

It will also create another 23,000 full-time regulated care spaces by the end of the 2025-26 fiscal year, the news release said. An additional 1,700 extended-hour spaces will also be created, for parents needing child care in the evenings and on weekends.

In addition to cutting costs for parents, the plan aims to create culturally inclusive child care for all children, particularly Indigenous children, Hussen said.

The funding will also be used to improve pay and training for early childhood educators, Hussen said.

"I'm talking about providing early childhood educators with good pay that is reflective of their training and their skills ... so that more people can choose to not only become early childhood educators but continue to be early childhood educators."

The federal Liberals pledged to create a universal child-care system in their throne speech last September as a way to help more women return to and enter the workforce, after their numbers dropped during the pandemic.

With the deal between Manitoba and the federal government, nearly 50 per cent of Canadian families are now covered by the federal program, Hussen said.

Whats wrong there A5? You jealous because you don't have any excess profit?

Sharpen your pencil and work a little harder and you might be able to invest in your own solar system.

Alberta is the land of opportunity. Now is your chance.

Hows Canada going to pay for it chuck?

Or do we need to apply some MMT and solar power economics to understand it.

I imagine the woke left is going to look pretty stunned when Trudeau slaps a capital gains tax on their homes.

Jazz don't worry about how we are going to pay for solar systems and renewable electricity sources, the costs are coming down and utilities will figure it out. Look at Alberta the land of free enterprise and honey, building wind farms and solar systems at a quick pace. Are Albertans bad at business or what?

Jazz worry about important things like when are they going to overturn Trump's election loss so that the truth can finally be told! LOL
