One week after the big white combine July 1…





The soybeans got sheered off!


No rain since the July 1 storm… The smell of drying out dead plants is pungent…

Blessings and Prayers

He set up his own tax department to limit federal overreach. Get off your straw man arguments.

Ya like Moe told the feds wrong time to add a tax and a few months later the budget added more taxes to farmers than the carbon tax ever would be.He did reverse pst on crop insurance but he sure tried.Moe sees all the corporate loop holes and he wants all that money and knows he will not lose one vote doing it.

As far as I know Quebec at present is the only province with its own tax department. Quebec in its goal of being a sovereign nation set up its own pension, it’s own police force, it’s own tax department. While I am not a fan of Quebec or of Prime Ministers from there, they are certainly forward thinking.
In Alberta I submit my corporate tax to the Alberta treasury which is interesting because my personal tax all goes to the federal government, which is then doled out back to the provinces at the whim of the Feds. This sounds like I am contradicting myself because I stated Alberta doesn’t have it’s own revenue service. Like everything with government, it just doesn’t make sense🤷🏻

Under the Canadian Constitution, Taxation is a Provincial Jurisdiction. Provincial Government that have the Federal Government collecting taxes, voluntarily turned those taxation privileges over to the Federal Government. This is why Constitutionally Federal Income Tax of individuals was a voluntary tax…. And Constitutionally still is… Federal Judges have ruled personal income tax is “required “ for the Federal Government to maintain “Peace, Order and Good Government “ Constitutionally Legally the arguments for its mandatory continuation. A Judge (of competent jurisdiction) could theoretically over rule this decision… as the Supreme Court itself has not itself been asked to rule on this issue… which does bring the distribution of personal income taxes involved in the Equalization Payments Federally. Taxation is a very seductive power for provincial government… they seldom can resist the temptation to tax, which is actually a voluntary political decision.

Police are Provincial Jurisdiction as well… the Federal Government being responsible for internationally defending Canadians.

BTW… since 80% of taxes are paid for by 20% of the people… the likely hood of people voting to end personal income tax is very unlikely… in a democratic political system.

Read a book written by a guy from North of Regina and also lived in Calgary.Over the years he had several bussiness but was a charted accountant .He ended up in a hospital in Calgary getting A heart transplant that had being waiting for .His conversation with one of the nurses.was I spent all my life trying to make it so people pay less taxes but now I look upon taxes as money put away for future needs.

The much bigger tax issue is how many of the rich people and corporations hide their wealth in tax free havens and avoid paying taxes or pay very little tax even though they benefit greatly.

And the Donald even bragged about how little tax he paid. LOL

In theory that is the way it is supposed to work. Governments looks after infrastructure like bridges, highways, hospitals. And security like the military and the police. The responsible spending of tax dollars collected. And certainly they are in charge of crafting the regulations under which we live and work. But today’s government under leaders like Justin Trudeau are more interested in increasing the cost and reach of government. And yes taxes should be used for future needs but not for income redistribution which is what the carbon tax is being used for.

Fully agree. Everyone needs to pay their share and government needs to realize the revenues aren’t theirs to spend foolishly to buy votes.
