The Underused Housing Tax Act creates potential filing and tax obligations for owners of residential housing in Canada.

@MelissaSammsNL @mmburton The Uber app captures the pick-up and drop-off point, as well as the driver and booking passenger. Can’t speak to Uber/city vetting of drivers, but would hope there is some. I haven’t weighed all pros and cons but on its face seems worth exploring.
@MelissaSammsNL @mmburton No argument it’s perfect, but had a great experience myself last week in Halifax. Customers can see the price before booking - they’re making an informed choice of the cost, unlike cabs. Lots of other features that improve convenience and safety, I found.
@mmburton Would personally love to see council take the lead, seems like a great way to promote spending in the city - especially in a Come Home Year. Thanks @mmburton for getting back to me.
