Heh.
Good Morning Mr Butts.
My questions are not going away.
Yet again, my letter: https://t.co/lnHXE1gPS9 If I am incorrect on any points, say so!
If you continue to refuse to reply, what choice do you leave me but to contact the Auditor General?
Please reply.
Sincerely,

Lock Lurch up and throw away the key.
On January 19, 2017, John Forbes Kerry left his job at the State Department. Addressing Foggy Bottomers in the C Street lobby, he ended his speech by declaring, “This is not an end. This is a beginning. It’s a new beginning.” That’s just what departing politicos usually say, but he meant it.
More.
I’m pretty sure horse-face Kathleen will be put out to pasture come June, but I’m also pretty sure that Canadians will give Sock Boy another four years come 2019. I sure hope I’m wrong on the latter, because if these fools get in again, there’ll be nothing left of Canaduh. The current level of taxation in this country is obscene and it’s only going to get worse. It’s tantamount to communism.
Every spring Canadians are cranky and deserve to be. It is tax season, the snowbirds are returning to 13 per cent sales taxes, and the 2018 federal Liberal budget broke promises to pensioners and self-employed persons with holding companies.
Worse yet, Ottawa’s budget watchdog in its latest economic and fiscal outlook in April said the government lowballed deficits in February. Deficits will be $4 billion higher for the next two years, meaning that taxpayers were misled by 20 per cent or the Liberals don’t know how to count.
Another $8 billion is not a rounding error and is all the more unacceptable after the huge tax hikes imposed on the country’s higher income earners who, frankly, support the system.
The top tax Ontario rate, for those lucky enough to make a good income (or pension), has soared in Ontario from 49 per cent to 53.53 per cent since 2015 – an obscene jump of 9.2 per cent. In what universe, or nation-state, does this occur minus the excuse of a recession or a war or a calamity of some kind?
Canadians really are sheep. We are taxed to death in this country and there’s scarcely a peep.
Canadian beer drinkers pay an average of five times as much tax as Americans when they buy a two-four of cans, a new report from Beer Canada shows.
Luke Harford, president of Beer Canada, said most brew drinkers would be aware that they are charged more north of the border, but not how much more because the taxes are hidden in the purchase price.
“Where a Canadian consumer is paying $20 in tax on a case of beer, their U.S. neighbour is paying $4,” Harford said. “A lot of that is driven by the provinces … the provincial level of taxes are 13 times greater than state level taxes.”
