Canadians Owe More , Polar Temps, CPP Survivor Benefits and #MoneyTalk
Stats Canada tells us that for every $1 of disposable income we owe $1.71, so Canadians Owe More is a very true statement, and other stories.

DTC Changes, Christmas Present Ideas, Fraud and #MoneyTalk
It seems the CRA and the Minister of Finance are not on the same page. The Minister told Parliament that there had not been any change in Disability Tax Credit (DTC) policies towards Diabetics or any other group. However, the National Post disagrees.

Whether this is true or not, there does seem to be a perception with some of my readers that it is getting harder to get the DTC, especially for parents of kids with Autism.

If you are having issues getting your Disability Tax Credit , contact Autism Canada about the troubles you are having.
