@dmay001 The Harris centre has the ability and capacity to raise its own revenue. Was it not doing that? Did CARE continue beyond its funds?

[hemery @herb_emery]

@dmay001 Profits to the franchise owner? Margins of fast food restaurants are alleged to be thin so if they stay in business with the minimum wage whose profit is being taxed?

[hemery @herb_emery]

@dmay001 what do you think? Is full island coming as well? NL deserves a win.

@andrepphd @PhilSmith26 You don’t thing the rent cap coming will achieve that?

[hemery @herb_emery]

@dmay001 Yes… and shouldn’t universities produce data that can actually allow for that evaluation? Check our Harvey weingarten’s book “no less than great”

[hemery @herb_emery]

@dmay001 In other work we compare ba grads to quitters rather than HS grads. BA grads do no better than quitters on earnings so… negative roi compared to quitting without credential. Feeling awkward yet?

[hemery @herb_emery]

@dmay001 The work i have is in draft form. With Nicholas Manuel at SMU we use census data to show NB arts bachelors grads have weak occupational alignment with degree but masters students have high occupational alignment… that “matching” is a big part of the ROI.

@danduttonysj @Wilbix Blades of steel sounds and weird whistles remain unmatched. NES rbi baseball still an all time great game.

@GK_Fellows If the list of candidate inventions include nothing from K-tel or ronco like the spinning hidden ashtray or pocket fisherman then don’t bother voting. Oh yeah, the automatic lp cleaner was good.

[hemery @herb_emery]

This is a good policy. Tax will mostly impact top of scale earners in government, nb power and universities while benefiting lowest income folk in the province.

[Silas Brown @silasjvbrown]

The NDP is out with it's first campaign promise as well: doubling the HST rebate, funded by introducing a new top tax bracket for those making over $250,001 a year.

@AlexUsherHESA As stoners they just haven’t got around to winding it up… too much to file paperwork.

“And yet here in Alberta we've been behind for decades.” True in so many ways and now going back to the future! ⁦@GK_Fellows⁩ where is the “monorail” Simpson’s reference. https://t.co/id68Zucfai

@danduttonysj Ask @RonKneebone but I think you are suggesting that crowding is a relevant measure and that current shelter norms are calling for apts not rooms under sufficiency goals

[hemery @herb_emery]

Wouldn’t this also be true for one’s principal residence? We should end the capital gains exemption. People will still buy homes and there will be less of a future capital gain to tax. @danduttonysj

[Dieter MacPherson 🇨🇦 🚀🌕 @dmacpher]

Buying a cottage & seeing it appreciate 600% over 30 years is not the same as making investments that drive growth! The capital they deployed didn’t lead to increased productivity/innovation. Conflating capital gains between your second lake house and growing a business is insane

[hemery @herb_emery]

@MMaraMallory @danduttonysj I agree. Taxing the house is about fairness.

[hemery @herb_emery]

@MMaraMallory here is the divide politically.

[David Moscrop @David_Moscrop]

Millions of Canadians

[hemery @herb_emery]

@MMaraMallory @danduttonysj The point is “good for whom?” The capital gains exemption for homes benefits some Canadians a lot while pricing the others out of the market … or at least a shot at their own capital gains.
