Danny doesn’t seem to get along with any of the PM’s lately, which I guess is his thing. After all, if I heard an Alberta Premier talk about how he liked the PM, I might drop dead from a stroke. Well, ok, a Liberal PM.

That’s a mistaken assumption. There’s lots of money for Western and Central provinces.

The Eastern provinces have been offered a paltry amount by comparison and must give up the Atlantic Accord in exchange which further reduces the already paltry number.

Yaris is ok by me, that is what I am thinking of getting in the next year or two. Bet the price goes up accordingly!

I can see where the budget doesn’t have much for the single guy on the town, but there is more reason to settle down and have kids

I’m also a bit cynical of the “tax-back guarantee”; an amortizing loan automatically increases the principal payment amount as the interst cost decreases. The above guarantee simply guarantees that we will be paying the debt over a longer period. I’ve long believed that those who incurred the debt (we boomers) should be the ones to repay it, rather than leaving it to our children, so I’m not so enamooured with this idea.

I agree with you that better paying jobs would help the working poor, and really wonder if the cost of living increases from housing might be a detriment to some folks moving to a new location to obtain a better paying job.

BTW “affects” is correct!

Sure, it’s nice to get the money sooner, but the lifetime limit per child is still the same. I know that I’ll hit that limit by the time my children reach age 18, so that’s the number I’d like to see go up…
