every time I see an American try to explain how Canada "takes advantage of" the USA, I am viscerally reminded why that entire country collectively cannot be trusted with Kinder Surprise Eggs for their own safety

Only in Canada would a tax change go into effect when:
1. Legislation was never passed.
2. Legislation was never even introduced in Parliament despite a 9 month window.
3. The Minister who proposed the hike has quit government and then comes out in opposition to the change.
4. There is a strong chance all leadership candidates to become the next PM will oppose the change.
5. The leading opposition party, ahead by a mile in every poll, also opposes the change and commits to reversing it if elected later this year.

It is well past time for the CRA to drop its ridiculous decision to implement (retroactively) the capital gains inclusion rate hike.

Did you know that December means the tenth month? An interesting bit of history here...

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

Why the hell does February sometimes get an extra day? And why is it shorter than the other months, anyway?

It's all because of what Julius Caesar did 2,070 years ago in 46 BC.

What's special about 46 BC? It had 445 days, making it the longest year in history...

Procrastination is the arrogance to think that you’ll have time tomorrow to do the things you have time to do today

“The swirl we see when we flush the toilet shows up in the swirls of electrons that slow down the flow of electricity in a superconductor. The same swirl pops up in the pinwheel spread of a Paenibacillus vortex bacteria colony in a petri dish, in the whorls of your fingertip, in the spiral twist of a nautilus shell, in the spiral of seeds on the face of a sunflower, in the spiral of clouds in a hurricane seen from a satellite, in the permanent twister two Earths in size that makes the Red Spot on Jupiter, in the vortices that make the dark spots on the surface of Neptune, and in the spiral arms of galaxies. Understand the spiral in the toilet and you have a key to understanding every other spiral that you see. From the submicroscopic to the unbelievably huge. What's more, you may well have a glimpse deep down into the structures that kicked off this universe. You may well have a specimen of an Ur pattern doing its thing. And through that toilet swirl, you may even be able to peek deep down to the simple laws that started it all. The axioms at the beginning of the universe.”
