A bit going on in the world...
The most corrupt and inept government ever re-elected would rather people forget that spouses of chiefs of staff are awarded government programs, that the current hand-puppet of China's was so deep into the WE scandal that his grubby fingerprints are all over it and that he has yet another personal day after a long series of personal days.
Carry on ...
One thing that Canadians won't soon forget is the taxes that will have to pay on their welfare:
CERB payments claimed over the course of the program are regarded as regular income. The CRA assumes that a dollar claimed in CERB is the same as a dollar earned from regular income or self-employment.
This means that how much you owe in taxes will depend on two factors – how much CERB you claimed and how much other income you made in 2020. Let’s take a few examples to delve deeper. ...
Assume two applicants – Jerry and Samantha – both claimed CERB payments from the CRA this year. Jerry works at a fast food restaurant that was shut for four months, during which he claimed the maximum $8,000 in CERB payments.
He expects to make $2,000 in the rest of the year. That means his total annual income for 2020, $10,000, was below the basic personal amount. Effectively, Jerry would pay no taxes.
Samantha, however, owns an events management company. She expects to make no income for the rest of the year and has already claimed $8,000 in the maximum CERB payments. However, a major event she hosted in January earned her $100,000. Her marginal tax rate is 26%, which means she will owe $2,080 on her CERB payments to the CRA next year.
Now who doesn't want to go to work?
Also - who pays for shoes in installments?:
It’s not just that COVID-19 has retailers advertising kids’ face masks right next to T-shirts, pencils and laptops. There’s another novelty many online shoppers will notice: you can now buy something as inexpensive as a pair of shoes in installments.
“These buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services are new and quickly gaining popularity,” the Better Business Bureau (BBB) said in a press release this week. And while the idea may sound “great,” consumers should “be careful,” the bureau warned.
Get people used to being broke.
Based upon interviews with other current and former police officers, witnesses, and law enforcement, and on emergency services transcripts, it seems clear that there was a collapse of the policing function on that weekend.
At no point in the two-day rampage did the RCMP get in front of the killer, who the Examiner identifies as GW. It also seems apparent that some Mounties, many of whom were called in from distant locales, were stunningly unaware of the geography and landmarks in the general area as the RCMP tried to keep up with GW.
Sources within the RCMP say a major problem was that communications between various RCMP units was never co-ordinated. “Everyone was on their own channels,” the source said. “Nothing was synchronized. They could have gone to a single channel and brought in the municipal cops as well, but for some reason they didn’t. It was like no one was in charge.” ...
“We are taught to move past injured victims and attack the situation,” said one current RCMP member. “If the suspect is in a building, we use a T formation. If he’s outdoors, it’s a diamond. You typically need four officers, but, if need be, you can do it with fewer. The point is to neutralize the suspect as quickly as possible and prevent further injuries or deaths.”
In spite of what the RCMP has publicly stated, law enforcement sources and others have told the Examiner that the first RCMP responders did not actively intervene after arriving at the scene. After discovering a considerable number of slain victims around a property and on or near the road, the officers retreated to a point near the top of Portapique Beach Road where they congregated to wait for reinforcements.
Several RCMP and law enforcement sources say that a corporal from a nearby detachment who was the initial supervisor on the scene froze in place to the distress of other Mounties. The corporal later ran into nearby woods and turned off their flashlight and hid. That officer continues to be off work on stress leave.
Some veteran Mounties say that there were likely a number of factors which caused the first Mounties on the scene to hesitate.
“It could have been inexperience. Maybe there was no backup. And then there’s always that Canada Labour Code thing,” said one long time Mountie.
He was referring to a $550,000 fine imposed on the RCMP in January 2018 for failing to properly arm and train its members after three Mounties were murdered and two injured in a shooting rampage in Moncton on June 4, 2014. Since the Labor Code decision, all RCMP members on patrol are trained in the use assault weapons. Every Mountie carries a Colt C8 rifle with a 30-shot magazine in their patrol cars. The high-powered gun is considered to be an upgrade to the American made AR-15.
“They were in a bad situation,” said the Mountie. ”Their duty is to save lives, but whoever the supervisor was, he or she might have been thinking that they could be criminally sanctioned and go to jail if they send officers into a life threatening situation. At the very least, it could be the end of their career. That’s how the Labour Code fine is interpreted, even if the police are supposed to be exempt from it in the performance of their duties.”
What do we need China for?:
A Chinese court said on Friday it had sentenced a Canadian to death for transporting and manufacturing drugs, the second Canadian in two days to receive a death penalty for drugs and fourth since Canada detained a top Huawei executive in 2018.
I would have expected Justin to cave into this extortion by now.

The U.S. on Friday imposed sanctions on Hong Kong officials, including the pro-China leader of the government, accusing them of co-operating with Beijing’s effort to undermine autonomy and crack down on freedom in the former British colony.

Yes, I am sure Hong Kong will get right on that:
Canada and its Five Eyes allies — the U.K., the U.S. New Zealand and Australia — are calling on the Hong Kong government to reinstate disqualified candidates and hold its Legislative Council elections as soon as possible.
I'll just leave this right here.

China restricted flights within its borders but did not prevent anyone from going out. Something to think about:
China has sealed off an Inner Mongolian village after a resident died from the bubonic plague, according to a statement by the municipal health authorities.
The annual guilt-fest of the use of nuclear weapons should be addended with what the Japanese military did and how it was still willing to fight even after a bomb levelled much of Hiroshima and the peace and prosperity that occurred afterwards:
The Japanese city of Nagasaki on Sunday marked its 75th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing, with the mayor and dwindling survivors urging world leaders including their own to do more for a nuclear weapons ban.

There is a reason why I will not call liberals/leftists "progressive":
Members of Antifa have brought more chaos to the streets of Portland this week. Wednesday night included rioters using accelerants to set fire to the front of an occupied police precinct building while intentionally blocking exits. On Thursday, two elderly women were assaulted, one being doused with white paint.
Remember - this is all supposed to stop racism.
Or something.
Soma has been approved when getting rid of someone:
“With so many Canadians diagnosed with terminal illnesses each year, and many choosing MAiD (medical assistance in dying), we hope to be another option for the patients who are experiencing end-of-life distress and want to try something like psilocybin,” Hawkswell says.
Why not just warehouse people in old-age homes and let them die in their own waste?
Dead is dead, right?
Also - further moral rotting of society:
Remains of a newborn were found in Pickering, Ontario on Thursday and the homicide unit has started an investigation, reports CP24.
“The citizen was walking along the shoreline of Lake Ontario here in Pickering when she noticed some remains floating in the water,” said Acting Sgt. George Tudos, of the Durham Regional Police.
And - we killed granny by prioritising liquor stores over protecting old age homes but whatever:
Young people in Preston have been urged not to “kill granny” amid reports that almost half of new coronavirus cases in the city were among those aged 30 and younger.
