That is so weird.  No Canadian French news sources talk about these stock options taxation changes.  All they talk is how the govt targets older people and millenials to gain their votes.

I know what are options and how they are taxed. I was just inquiring about the changes.

I told you what the changes are and the rationale for making them.

not really.  I wanted the specifics.  I'll look at it later.

That is as specific as it gets atm.  The regulations are going to describe what qualifies and what does not.

Quite a display of mediocrity from the Conservatives during the budget discourse.

A UCP sign showed up on my lawn (well, snow pile) today.  I had forgotten I'd given them permission to put one in.  Later on I was playing with the boys in the front yard when a couple of UCP volunteers were knocking on doors.  They saw my sign, shook my hand but didn't otherwise bother me much.

I didn't ask them to remove the sign.

Depends on the point of view.  It's not like they could do much anyway, so what's the point?  Better carry the message accross.

Just because he's a lawyer, doesn't make him a heartless monster! I'm a lawyer, and I have the heart of a tender child.
