It's funny how BC gets to vote for their taxes but here in Ontario we just get TAXES

Personally, the less we have provinces imitating California with everything put to a ballot proposition, the better. At least until someone figures out how to design the system so that it doesn't become stuck in a giant collective action problem.

Why in the hell is that rebate application-based? They couldn't work it into when you file taxes, like the other provincial rebate checks I've been getting seem to be triggered off of? Or if they absolutely wanted to ensure people got these rebates now and not in 6 months, do the same thing by issuing the rebate to people who had filed taxes the previously year and qualified based on income?

The reason is because OLP? It would cost $210m instead of $14m if everyone signed up for it. They've made a corresponding OESP charge so ratepayers who don't qualify for it cover the cost, it doesn't come out of general revenue. quote:OESP charge has been set for all consumers at $0.0011 per kilowatt hour for electricity used as of January 1, 2016. We expect this program to cost the average residential customer about 93 cents each month. Strangely, this wasn't voluntary

I occasionally travel through the Kawarthas and the prices are still ludicrous. And the ever increasing number of lovely little gated communities and cottage towns going up is not helping.

Since we turned around and just re-elected the Liberals in a landslide, no one really talks about how furious the HST made them and how they voted against it. ~~~ In further BC news, the BC Liberals announced plans to create a licensing scheme for dog and cat breeders due to a recent puppy mill seizure. Kudos where due, it will probably be good legislation. It occurred to me when they announced it yesterday that the last time I could actually recall them announcing legislation was the introduction of the HST in 2010. Obviously they have done something in past five and a half years, like undoing HST, creating infinite jobs with LNG and The first actual new piece of legislation in almost six years that we have needed because BC is just that awesome.

I voted against the HST, but only because I hated the BC Liberals. Twelve months after it was repealed I started working at an accounting firm, so I got to sort through the aftermath of the transition. Basically what I'm saying is referendums are stupid.

B.C. Liberals hire 12 ousted federal and Alberta Conservatives Hahaha, gently caress this province and burn it to the ground. I hope everyone who votes for these shitheaps next year ends up begging for scraps in their old age, in the drained husk that was BC. quote:Included in the wave is Nicholas Koolsbergen, Harper’s former director of issues management, who once made headlines for purportedly co-writing a memo requesting government staff to develop “enemy” lists for incoming ministers. quote:Other appointments, ranging from executive assistants to chiefs of staff, have been to key B.C. ministries, including: health; jobs, tourism and skills training; environment; and justice. Carter Mann, one-time press secretary to former MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay, was appointed the new operations co-ordinator in the Premier’s Office. These aren't elected roles. This scum will be floating around and polluting the offices for years in the slim chance the Liberals lose power. They're salting the earth to ensure that even if they lose office, they'll still be able to gently caress things up from beyond the grave.

Slightly Toasted posted:Does that mean we can shoot him into the delta quadrant Yes, because the issue here is the expense of a doctor's note and not the reason the fee was instituted in the first place: Because writing these notes is a waste of doctors' time and maybe charging silly amounts of money for it was meant to discourage the practice.

El Scotch posted:Uh huh. Hypothetically of course. Ontarians are going to hear that the deficit for 2015/16 was $7.5 billion quite a few times today. When you hear that and how it's sooo far below their targets, please remember they're including the 15% of Hydro One sale in that figure. That money is earmarked to move from general revenue to trillium trust this spring and the structural deficit is still $8.6b, right on target. They know that too, it was exactly what they forecast last year.

Is there a comprehensive list somewhere of all the lovely legislation pushed through by the Conservatives that was overturned by the courts? I want a measure of how much time and money was wasted for partisan bullshit over the last ten years. I kinda wish C-24 was overturned by the Supreme Court instead of being amended by a new government. That way there would at least be precedent to stop it from happening again!
