What would the NDP do about it? I’m very curious about that.

$100.00 is a lot of money for one Charity . The New Hope Society , I think is a drop in center for Street Workers, what else do they do??

bitter it says $100,000.00

What’s up with all the missing men in metro Vancouver over the years?

Prevention of Violence? How does that work? Some one from either organization walks around town and sees somebody angry and says, “Here’s twenty bucks. Don’t go and knock that guys block off”. If I feel a grudge with the city hall and I’m angry, can I have a few bucks to stem my angry tendencies? Money to control peoples emotions and violent shortcomings? Never had that when I was a kid. My, how times have changed. Wow!

Harbinger, you are right, I like to see someone connect the dots, how this money is stopping any crime,other then making goverment look like they are doing something

Harbinger….we grew up with two parents and we did lotta work around the home/farm ect that kept us busy. Alcohol was available then but families didn’t use it to the extreme. In this society we live in now, there are lotta broken homes with lotta substance abuse., which contributes to the social problems we presently have now.,and unemployment. A lot of parents think it’s socially acceptable now to do drugs or even drink with their kids. Sunstance abuse leads to a lot of society’s ails. Our society is so face paced that stress is quite prevelant and difficult for a lot of people to deal with.
We could go on and on…. Glad I do not have any young kids anymore to raise in this world of ours

Outside of jobs and the economy, this government has no idea how anything else works.

Even their “expertise” on jobs and the economy has become questionable!

We live in a blameless society. It’s all the governments fault and they better fix everything.

I have a feeling that 80% of this money will equip a small offices and a few concerned do gooders with a few bucks over a period of time. Administration and papers to be shuffled enough to justify that 80%. Probably no receipts, nor proof given over to justify those bucks having changed the world or accomplished anything. Obviously a very large number of parent(s) fail to instill basic respect for others in their child raising. But a lot of money, moola, dineros will compensate for that and make our society that much better. Right? Cynical? You betcha. Glad I’m old.

Apparently, more and more, it is up to our government to provide these essential services, by taxing us taxpayers more and more. Why? because multinational corporations, operating in Canada, are transferring their profits out of Canada and into their subsidiaries located in tax haven places.

“In an interview this week on The Sunday Edition, Dennis Howlett, executive director of Canadians for Tax Fairness, says these multinational corporations set up subsidiaries in tax havens such as Ireland, Switzerland and the Cayman Islands and devise ways to transfer profits there from Canada. There are no laws to prevent this.”

“There’s been a proliferation of tax havens,” Howlett explains to host Michael Enright. “Now, a quarter of all direct Canadian foreign investment going abroad is going to tax haven countries. That’s about $170 billion sitting in tax havens, so it’s become a huge problem.”

“An additional concern for Howlett’s organization is Canada’s low corporate tax rate, which the Conservative government established with no guarantee or requirement from corporations that they spend it on job creation or other benefits to the country.”

With big business and corporations running our country and province, they will make sure Canada NEVER enacts laws that prevent them from transferring their profits to tax havens!!! Yup keep voting Conservative everyone!!!

Tax havens and Harper cause violence amongst people? I didn’t know that. Get rid of Harper, fix our tax system and then we won’t have to give money to people who want to stop interpersonal, intermarital and such kind of violence? Yeah, that’s the ticket. I’m sure that will work. Handing out taxpayers money to correct some individuals violent or perceived violent shortcomings in life? Maybe People#1 can organize a “punch a CEO Day” sometime to make everyone that is violence prone to feel better. Physical venting is so good. Right?

People#1… Preventing violence amongst others is an “essential service”? Source please.

People#1, “Canada NEVER enacts laws that prevent them from transferring their profits to tax havens!!! Yup keep voting Conservative everyone!!!”

——————————————-
No, People#1, that’s simply not true.

Back when the Liberals were our political masters in Ottawa, a certain wealthy Montreal family, (believed to be the Bronfmans, who control a whole stable of major Canadian companies bought from the fortune they made illegally running booze into the States back in the Prohibition era), sought an ‘advance ruling’ from the tax experts at Revenue Canada on whether moving some money held by them in a Canadian trust fund would be taxable if they moved it offshore, to one of those tax havens.

And the tax experts at Revenue Canada, after studying the situation and the relevant laws, concluded that it most certainly would be.

Said family then appealed to one Paul Martin, Minister of Finance at the time, and he over-ruled the tax experts in his own Ministry, and said they could remove the money tax free. Do you know who raised hell about that in the House of Commons, People#1?

It wasn’t the NDP, that great self-styled party of the people, that’s for sure.

It fell to the Bloc Quebecois, those awful separatists, that is, to try to get some answers out of Paul Martin. But they never did.

With People#1 it always comes back to Harper, didn’tcha know that? Apparently, he’s the source of all evil in the world.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC)funds a Family Violence Initiative across 15 other Federal Departments / Agencies.

Sure would be nice if we had some of that $170 BILLION in profits those multi-national corporation keep sending from Canada to tax havens all over the world! Wow… $170 BILLION dollars that Canada should be taxing but doesn’t. It’s all kind of sickening if you ask me.

Who asked ya?
