Going to have to shovel a bit tomorrow. Fine mess. Hope it doesn't rain again, though I note that the temp. is rising. .8 deg C right outside my place now. Last year there was ice all over the roads- the city didn't do much of a job sanding/salting for weeks, so it was bizarre and treacherous.<br /><br />Globull warming, indeed. The whole world's experiencing record cold. India's cold. Britain's getting cold and snow. Yadda, yadda, yadda...<br /><br />I still contend that the whole thing will, not too long from now, be widely understood to have been a big scam by greedy bastards who corrupted science in favor of a few bucks.Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-6481829766130213832010-01-02T21:23:25.965-04:002010-01-02T21:23:25.965-04:00MontyMontyCanuckguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-30367208956018240652010-01-02T20:23:36.159-04:002010-01-02T20:23:36.159-04:00Missed Family Guy.

Especially with a gay tinge.<br /><br />Anyway, regarding your issue, I don't know why you would owe the CRA money simply for declaring your status. If two partners(whether straight or gay) are both employed and each make +$15,000, these is no tax advantage nor disadvantage. If you are talking about no longer qualifying for a GST rebate, well that is chicken feed($92/quarter), hardly near the amount you got dinged with. If you are talking about filing jointly, that is only an advantage if one of the partnership makes less than $10,000. <br /><br />Now regarding your "posting as anonymous today ". Just so we know you in a way, if you plan to be an occasional commentator, you should chose a 'nome de plume' as I do.

That's not fair!</i><br /><br />You're right... that's not fair... the gay community is getting to have a piece of the cake and eat it too, whereas regular folks have to pay a big, fat tax if they want to eat their cake!<br /><br />Hey, if I'm to have a girlfriend move in with me, what if we make no claim, and only, if asked, say we're roommates? Can we get away with that? After all, the gov't has no business in our bedroom! Does the government discriminate against opposite-sex roomies but not same-sex ones? I've always wondered...<br /><br />Can of worms. Pandora's Box. That sort of thing. There's a whole lotta bullshit surrounding these issues, and I blame the Hard Left for causing all the trouble! They just gotta be "progressive" no matter how risky the move might be! And look at the mess they've made and refuse to clean up!<br /><br />Funny... your brother sounds like Michael Ignatieff... can't make up his mind on anything, either!<br /><br />Some folks can't even make up their mind whether they prefer tacos or sausages!Canadian Sentinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04255833874079591126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16604508.post-64388737237701285342010-01-02T13:27:00.858-04:002010-01-02T13:27:00.858-04:00I am a regular reader here but I am posting as ano...I am a regular reader here but I am posting as anonymous today to protect the identity of my brother, who is gay. Anyway, in a slightly related comment, I would like to say that my brother goes back and forth with his support of SSM. He says yes, then he says no. Recently when I told him of my current tax problems with becoming 'common law' and owing the govt over $5000 from the past 12 months, he changed his tune back to saying maybe it's better that he doesn't have to claim common law or married on his income tax in reference to his gay live-in partner and himself suddenly finding themselves with combined taxation ;) He figured he would be better off financially if he wasn't forced to claim common law or SSM. Which then brought to mind that he has lived with his partner for 4 years now and they don't have to claim Common Law - but I do... since gay marriage is now legal here, why don't they have gay partners treated as common law on the tax books just like straight couples? That's not fair!<br /><br />Anyway, he is off the fence again about SSM, saying it's just not a necessity that their union be legal in the eyes of the govt because all it might get them is less cash in their pockets lol. But seriously - why does my bro get to be free from common law taxation after 4 years, but I had to pay through the nose after 1 year? Sheesh that's not right!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
