Best Health Care In The World…Not

Canada’s Bolsheviks It's Probably Nothing Tommy Douglas: Not Dead Enough 15 Comments

Nothing says abject failure like the imposition of draconian penalties in order to keep doctors from leaving socialized medicine.

Dubé tabled legislation, Bill 83, in the National Assembly on Tuesday that would require students who studied medicine in a Quebec university to devote the first years of their professional lives, as general practitioners or specialists, to working in public institutions…

A doctor refusing to follow the rules would face fines of between $20,000 and $100,000 a day and per insured act.

 

Economic Illiteracy

So Canadians just don’t have the right vibes now? Is a recession defined by a “vibe deficit” or something like that? This is just more “animal spirits” nonsense.

Federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Monday that she hopes her government’s proposed GST holiday will help bridge the gap between Canada’s macroeconomic picture and historically stressed-out households by bringing good vibes to the latter.

“People have been talking about a ‘vibecession’… and the fact that Canadians just aren’t feeling that good,” Freeland told reporters at a press conference in Ottawa to promote the temporary sales-tax reprieve.

National Post- Canadians have constitutional right to unequal treatment, new report argues

“Canadians have been sold a bill of goods,” Bruce Pardy, the author of the report and a Queen’s University law professor, told National Post by email. “Many of them think that they have a right to equal treatment under the law. They think that discrimination is illegal. But nothing could be further from the truth. In Canada, discrimination is lawful as long as it is committed against the right groups — and in particular against straight white men.

National Post- At TMU medical school, some students are more equal than others

Toronto Metropolitan University, will reserve 75 per cent of its seats for Indigenous, Black, and other “equity-deserving” groups including 2SLGBTQ+. These students will need an undergraduate GPA of only 3.3 on a 4-point scale, and maybe not even that; for comparison, the University of Toronto medical school’s average accepted GPA is 3.95. Able-bodied straight white students can’t apply for these seats. It’s TMU’s affirmative action school for doctors who can’t get in on their merits. Canada now has full-blown racial and gender discrimination. How did we get here? The Supreme Court of Canada is largely to blame.

Collective Farming

Why are the Tories split on this issue? Do some of them actually think that the supply mismanaged dairy and poultry sectors should be allowed to hold the rest of the economy hostage?

This week, farming groups and former trade negotiators took turns trying to convince the upper chamber to either support or reject the Bloc’s private member’s bill to protect supply management from future trade negotiations.

The government voted in favour of the legislation last year, as did most Liberal MPs, the Bloc, the NDP and the Greens. The Conservatives were split on the vote.

Blacklock’s- Feds Want 3% Irish Land Tax

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland yesterday said cabinet would like to adopt an Irish-style three percent annual federal tax on vacant lots.

“Such taxes would be intended to discourage speculative holding of land and making it more costly to keep land undeveloped,” the finance department wrote in a Consultation Paper. “Taxes could provide a source of revenue for various orders of government which could be used to fund the construction of more new homes,” it added.

Globe and Mail- A look at Halifax’s climate property tax, ahead of a civic election that could determine its future

This is unique among larger Canadian cities – many of which have put little money toward climate change even as they declare it an emergency – and raises about $18-million in dedicated funds each year. But its prominence on the bill is a recurring worry to the city bureaucrat who helps dole out the money.

“Usually when things are called out on the tax bill, they’re at risk,” said Shannon Miedama, Halifax’s director of environment and climate change. “Every year I freak out that it’s going to get debated and pulled, and it hasn’t happened yet.”

Your Home Is Not Your Castle

When a society accepts the premise that those with wealth deserve to have it strip mined, nothing is off limits.

Governments’ extraction of value from our homes has accelerated in recent years as they have became more desperate, both to raise revenue and to find scapegoats to deflect blame for their own starring role Canada’s housing shortage. As the byzantine extractions multiplied, our homes, once considered our main assets, have morphed for many into our main liabilities. Once upon a time, “safe as houses” was a no-brainer investment strategy. Anyone who now sees a house as a safe investment needs his head examined.

Tax Me Harder!

It’s too bad that the Conservatives continue to remain largely silent on the critical issue of repealing Justin’s capital gains tax hikes. The impact is far from trivial.

Based on conventional assumptions that an increase in the tax-inclusive cost of capital by 10 percent causes the capital stock to fall by 7 percent, I estimate that Canada’s capital stock would fall by $127 billion. Employment would permanently decline by 414,000. To put this in terms of its impact on unemployment, the capital gains tax hike would increase unemployment from 1.5 to 1.9 million Canadian workers as of August 2024. GDP will fall by almost $90 billion and real per capita GDP by 3 percent.

Geoffrey Moyse- British Columbia could disappear under a sea of Aboriginal title

Below is the sixth of several outstanding opinion pieces about indigenous land claim issues in British Columbia that will be posted without a paywall over the next few weeks.

All are written by Geoffrey S. Moyse, K.C., a retired senior lawyer who served as legal counsel to the Province of B.C., advising six successive governments on aboriginal law matters over more than 30 years.

His writings rebut the current NDP provincial government’s indigenous land ownership and use policies.

Sun- Students attending protest told to ‘wear blue’ to mark them as ‘colonizers’

Mona, the cousin of one of students compelled to take part, told the Toronto Sun the Grade 8 student was instructed to wear a blue shirt to identify her as a “colonizer.”

“She was very upset,” Mona said of her cousin, who is Jewish and approached her teacher at the rally to express her discomfort once the anti-Israel chants began.

“The teacher told her, ‘You’ll get over it.’”
