the TFSA is unambiguously better than the RRSP for investing for lower-income Canadians, it's not like anyone was singing Harper's praises or saying that it's the One Neat Trick to defeating the immiserating forces of capitalism

How many low income Canadians do you know who have the financial literacy to pick and choose the right stocks to buy, much less the right mutual funds that won't rob them blind in management fees?

How many low income Canadians do you know of who can spare the extra funds to invest in stocks, bonds, or mutual funds?

Income invested is taxed normally but gains and withdrawals aren't. Kind of like the inverse of a RRSP.

If you have money to invest there's no reason not to do it with a TFSA, you save taxes you'd otherwise owe on gains. But the net gain from it is peanuts if you can't afford to max it out every year. If you've got $1000 a year to save, and you put it in an index fund making 5% YOY, after the first year a TFSA would save you about ten dollars.

It's just another tax complications that primarily benefits rich people.

Mulcair was such an idiot egotist he'd instantly go back on ever doing that becasue the NDP were "here to stay" with him in charge.

He would then Ignatieff himself in the very next election.

the thing im most looking forward to when the pandemic ends is governments trying to constantly make rules that dont make any sense and people constantly trying to rules-lawyer their way around them.

ah yes if the governments says i can only have 2 people in my house at a time i will have 40 people over, 2 at a time in 20 minute increments, this is safe and i am veyr smart

Two weeks ago on the news, BC Health was calling 80+ to schedule and the sign up was for 70-79 year olds. Whether the plan changed, Global's reporting leaves something to be desired or I misheard the report 4 separate times in the morning is a question left to the ages. (It was clearly only for 90+ this morning though.)

Pretty sure there are not 1.7 million 70+ residents of BC though, so there is no doubt that this is a dumb province.

Just imagining the thought process (or lack?) behind such an outburst

"I've been bottling this up for over a decade, but it's time to let total strangers know, this aggression against Gordo, will not stand man"

Like he was so fair towards unions
