My favorite is how the Conservative tax promises are made under the guise of helping working-class families, but in reality, they often benefit the rich most:
1. Increasing the basic personal amount will benefit people that use the deduction to its' fullest extent the most, so anyone with federal income below the basic federal credit (for 2019 this is $12,069, i.e. really poor) actually doesn't get any additional benefit from this... they'd still pay the same amount of tax ($0 assuming no refundable credits).
2. The children's fitness/arts tax credits can benefit working-class families, but families that are on the fringe of affordability are likely to cut luxuries (such as fitness/arts for their kids) first. Again, these benefits simply allow for the rich to get a tax break on something they were probably paying for anyways (such as a rich family whose son is in SJR paying for their kid to play hockey, they get the full $500 credit for that kid, assuming the cost of hockey is at least $500).
3. Increasing the RESP limits again benefits the rich - most middle class families struggle to contribute the maximum under the program, and if you're poor, having extra contribution room isn't going to help you plan for the future when you're struggling to put food on the table.
Do the Liberals lie as well? Absolutely. They're all dogs, but at least they aren't spin doctoring with the level of finesse currently shown by the Cons.
I'm pretty cynical and since I can't decline my ballot federally, I'm seriously considering intentionally spoiling it in an act of defiance, I've never seen such a bad batch of politicians set to run this country.
 

You weren't asking me - but it's clear that every government other than the Chretien Liberals were running some major deficits.  The Trudeau Liberals are just stupid enough to admit it right in their platform. 

Man - on your drive I bet you noticed that the earth doesn't look round from anywhere...

Yep, I have met some of them.  Do not waste your time and energy arguing with them.
Anyone who disagrees with them is insane, and furthermore, is going to hell. 

Ok, rational thought, then.  When an opposing OL can contain the Bombers' pass rush, the defense is in trouble.  Hammy was going with 6 or 7 blockers, meaning the secondary only had 4 or 5 receivers to cover.  This has happened ad nauseum everytime an opposing OL did was OLs are supposed to do.  Do you consider this acceptable?  

A grey cup would solve the attendance problem - full stop.  The average Winnipegger just assumes the Bombers are losing - as usual.

No doubt.  Some rural folk 'round these parts - believe the moon landings were trick photography...
The small worlds some people live in are just sad. 
 

MBT? Have you guys watched him when he wasn’t playing the Bombers?

They have earned a little more than that.

rural Alberta is the second most backwards place I've ever lived, only slightly behind Winkler/Morden......it is INSANE the things people believe.

I watched an offence score 6 points in about 55 minutes of playing time. Hall needs to ask Santa for a safety, players that can wrap up and not arm tackle and send someone to the North Pole to find Bighill. Repeat and rinse there is blame to sprinkle across the entire staff.

And they have a team capable of doing exactly that.  They need to get guys like Hecht to play within their limitations, not play OL who are too badly hurt, and maybe sit one or two players who are obviously mailing it in.  The talent is there - the coaches need to step up.

Yeah, that was the correct call.  The odds of being able to drive into field goal range again are slim. Their best chance to win was getting a first down at the one. 

How long has this coaching staff been together?  Please no more talk about learning experiences or wake up calls.   We're battling for first, and getting a split with Stamps and win over Riders.....can still get there.   It's nut cutting time not excuses time. 

I am a little hurt by the Nate reference but like the Rebus one, so I am going to take your advice and have a pint and a whisky.

The best OL play we’ve seen against our squad this year.
