Just Not ready

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Before any of you old farts get excited about no GST on diapers, it is only for children's diapers not your Depends.

This will cost nearly $6 billion to a government already $7 billion over their deficit projection..

"I don't think about macro economics"

"Let the bankers worry about the economy."

Even the CBC is against the silly GST pause.

It must be a paperwork nightmare for small businesses.

Dealing with returns of items bought before Dec 14th, setting up the new regs in their POS systems, inventory/purchasing control....then resetting immediately after Valentines.

Then there are the Provinces with HST that are losing their portion of the tax or the corollary of residents of Provinces without HST having to pay higher taxes.

Why everyone will take the GST holiday and the $250 dollar cheque in April, no one is buying the the message and we all see it as patently absurd and fiscally irresponsible.

The cheque in April reminds me of Wimpy in the old Popeye cartoons. "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."

Be interesting to see how hard they railroad Pat King in January.

Up to 10 years is possible and Mr. Prosecutor is out for blood.....

Appeals will be long, though King is his own worst enemy. Not surprised he's getting hit.

It will be interesting if any of this sets definitions or precedent for Lynch and Barber.

Yeah King is a blow hard who is not what MSM portrays him to be (a Trucker Convoy "leader").

But there are far worse criminals with far greater crimes out there that we could be putting through the costly processes of jail time and trials than prosecuting a guy who was pretty much just protesting Governmental overreach (which we're allowed to do in Canada allegedly) and for which he had legit cause in many people's minds.

Including mine.

And yeah, Tamara may be in trouble.

Woman wrapped in Palistinian scarf giving a Nazi salute and chanting about "The Final Solution" ran a coffee kiosk at a Jewish Hospital up until her contact was terminated today.

A likely scenario for Trudeau backing the ICC against Israel. He is job hunting with the UN.

He can't join a law firm, no law degree like many retiring politicians, not smart enough and far too brand tarnished to join a corperate board, not even SNC.

Dudes a clown.

The dancing video is both laughable and bewildering.

Comment on X this morning in reply to a post highlighting why his handlers didn't pull him from the concert to at least appear concerned about the situation in Montreal. "He's the guy who flew over Kamloops to go surfing in Tofino on the 1st Truth and Reconciliation Day."

No one is asking the cost to Canadian taxpayers of him flying him with his daughter return Ottawa/Toronto for a Taylor Swift concert?
