I just received an email from Garth Turner about the Federal budget. I've just clipped part of it. Read it and have a laugh. - Making good on the $1,200-per-year child payment and - to ensure it is not taxed back to nothing - putting it in he hands of the less-taxed souse and exempting it for the calculation of other geared-to-income benefits. I expect the souse will use the child payment to buy some two fours or Canadian Club don't you. Well I saw Garth on TV, his $1200.00 will go for hairdye.... I see Barbara MacDougall is going to solve the native problem, I didn't know she was still this side of the lawn... I wonder if McGuinty is going to claw the $1200.00 back from those on assistance.... The Head of OPG is going to need another raise soon.
