Halloween Week: The Revenge

... or something ...




What will the Liberals do with taxes? Raise them:

The Liberals ran on a promise to increased the basic personal amount that you can earn without having to pay taxes by $2,000 to $15,000 for those making less than $147,000. H&R Block tax expert Lisa Gittens said in an interview that the increase – which will be spread out over the next four years – will have an impact on taxpayers, leaving them with slightly more money in their pockets.

They had four years to do that and haven't delivered:

The report defines middle class as 75-to-200 per cent of the median income in each nation. For Canada, that means a person living alone would have an income of about $29,432 to $78,485, it says.

Across the organization’s 36 member countries, the portion of citizens considered middle class fell to 61 per cent from 64 per cent between the mid-1980s and the mid-2010s, says the report.

Middle-class shrinkage was sharper in Canada than the OECD average.

Scratch a Liberal, find a Jew-hater every time:

A voting guide for Canadian Muslims rated federal political leaders on their views on a boycott campaign against Israel and was partly funded by a federal grant, a Jewish advocacy group said Friday.

B’nai Brith Canada urged an end to any government funding that could encourage what it called the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Jew-hating: it's the new Canadian value!




Fear not, Canadians! You'll have lots of abortions for your children and your children's children!

Oh, wait ... :

The medical director at Clinic 554 in Fredericton welcomes the support of Horizon’s Health board of directors but remains doubtful the New Brunswick government will change its regulations around abortion funding.

“I’m a bit guarded with my hope if I’m being honest. We have been trying for a half a decade as Clinic 554 to garner support from any corner for the clinic, and generations of women before me, have been trying with this government,” said Dr. Adrian Edgar.

Eliminating gene pools: another Canadian value.




Good:

Recent government-mandated changes to tuition fees in Ontario have resulted in some campus newspapers losing a significant portion of their funding.

The "Student Choice Initiative" — announced by the Progressive Conservative government in January — allows post-secondary students to opt out of services deemed "non-essential," including campus newspapers and unions.

Students don't need them.

Let student unions sing the praises of the NDP with their mum and dad's money only.

Why are children depressed and anxious?

It doesn't help that parents indulge their snowflakes and never prepare them for the real world but they also tell them that the world is coming to an end because of Trump and what some stupid Swedish girl says:

Parents who spend a lot of time connected to their electronic devices may be contributing to their children's anxiety and other mental health problems, said the president of Quebec's association of psychiatrists.

"Do we text our kids to come down for dinner?" Dr.Karine Igartua asked, in an interview on CBC Montreal's Daybreak Friday. "Or could we actually make the three extra steps, go to their bedroom, look them in the eye and say, 'Sweetie, dinner's ready.'"

Igartua said children and teens born after 2010 — known as Generation Alpha — are seeing an exponential increase in stress levels.

"In the last six years, anxiety disorders have doubled," she said, appealing to both parents and government for a "culture shift."

"Kids no longer have any sort of free playtime," Igartua said. "We're constantly overscheduling, overprotecting them, overstimulating them."

And now, another dire selection for one's listening pleasure:
