As someone who gets moved for work every 2-3 years, fuck you very much on taking away primary residence capital gains exemption. Obviously I'm on the more extreme end of the scale; but the principal of increasing the cost of moving has impacts on reducing opportunities of families through first and second order effects.

Lifetime exemption cap is fine. Alternatively maximum percentage increase per year exemption (I don't know, 10%?). If we go the lifetime exemption route, please include negative sales.

maybe incentivize people to not own a goddamn ugly-ass cookie-cutter McMansion, leading to a teensy bit more densification

Capital gains exemption or reduction if you increase the number of housing units AND floor space. (Chopping an existing build into two? No exemption. Replace that SF bungalow with a Plex? Total exemption).

Or at least leave more greenspace on a standard lot.

Disagree, fuck lawns. Some persons private micro park is less important than more housing per lot. Native species gardens are fine, but they still aren't housing units.

My 5G mobile coverage improves about 7 days after my annual shot.

I figure by 2027 I can ditch my home router.

Never any other cars in car ads, the road is all yours

The shell producting is correct: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/10/politics/russia-artillery-shell-production-us-europe-ukraine/index.html

Negotiation was already tried with Crimea.

Bloc Québécois would win so many federal elections if they expanded outside Québec.

No bags in Alberta, that's just ET and AT time zones (maybe newfies too? Not sure)

Plus R2D2 had the entire Death Star plans in his memory.

Yup, I read that backwards.

So a total of ~60k less job vacancies?

What the hell is this article and survey?

Why not just look at the actual numbers for cases instead of asking people if they think other people are likely to sue?

Here's the actual blog post from the survey: https://www.zensurance.com/blog/a-shocking-majority-of-canadians-would-sue-a-small-business

It's clearly trying to pump up the precived risk of slip-and-fall litigation, even though being hit by a vehicle and a product causing injury or damage have higher response rates.

Don't forget to tip Galen Weston.

Reason "should the death penalty be reinstated for murder, like running someone over with your car" and watch support drop to zero.

Canada is finally catching up to Québec on this.

That's a long winded explanation for saying taxes are one part of COGS. Do taxes impact COGS? Absolutely. But so do other regulations, market pressureus, trade deals, weather, road repairs, train breakdowns, flu season intensity, water table levels, how much commission the sales guy gets, etc, etc, etc.

Hey genius,

Not a genius, just a bit of experience with small non-profits that share commonality with small businesses.

people don't continue on with businesses of zero net.

They absolutely do. A lot of my friends are professionals that run net zero after they pay themselves.

Taxes in many provinces are at the point what would be otherwise profitable businesses aren't worth it, that's why you see so many abandoned.

No, they are abandoned because they failed or the owner didn't want to run them anymore

Taxes aren't just on revenue, they're on every aspect.

Yeah sure, but that has to do with an increase in COGS, not the increase of tax on the business. There as soany impacts on COGS that you can't narrow it down to a single thing. Even large corps switch between vetricalizing and not depending on situations beyond more than just tax.

they tax the living shit out of businesses, much more and it'll start to cause failures.

Why?

Taxes are on revenues, not gross profits. That's why EBIT exists as a performance measure.

As a quick example of a made up corp:

Gross profits 1.1B

COGS + OpExp 1.0B

EBIT 100M

Taxes 10% (30%)

Revenues 90M (70M)

Now mom and pop barely alive

Gross profits 500k

COGS + OpExp 500k

EBIT 0

Taxes 10% (30%)

Revenues 0 (0)

Some stranger? No way.

My own mother? Absolutely.

Anyways, my thought is that crosswalks should default to walking, and if cars want to pass then can get out and press a beg button to get the light.

That is the law on Ontario, all lanes of traffic must stop for someone using a pedestrian crossover (zebra crossing). The penalty for failure to comply is $1000 and 4 demerits. Fines are doubled ($2000) in community safety zones.

The law isn't to blame; driver compliance, enforcement, and road design is.

You are correct. Seems I made a mode-al error.
