Nursing is also one of the few professions where they still have to pay for their own internship (going further into debt).

A doctor in training is paid while a nurse in training is not only working for free, but paying a fee to be there. Not sure if this is consistent in every province though.

I highly recommend a physiotherapist if you haven't already.

I had an issue years ago where my doctor couldn't figure out my knee pain/clicking but physio got it. He taught me how to correct for my extremely tight IT band that was pulling everything out of alignment and causing damage. Fortunately that meant a foam roller and stretching rather than surgery.

i hope this looks nothing like the sr&ed tax credit

nominal capital gains that are purely due to inflation seem like dubious tax targets (you didn't earn anything, the canadian dollar was simply worth less)... pairing this with the end of the capital gains exemption for principal residences could be interesting

honestly, real capital gains should be taxed a lot higher but inflation wrecks the math (i'd wager the 50% exemption was an attempt to account for this)

I'm disappointed that even a credit union wouldn't lend to them. Lenders can have mountains of collateral and still chicken out -- it's bizarre they won't take any actual risk.

  • spending half your day commuting
  • pretending living at home and having your own apartment are comparable
  • taking a very light course load

It would be fun to throw something random in there like term limits. I'd appreciate barring anyone who has been an MP for 20 years from running again.

hard to follow the article with only a short blurb... it starts by saying he was happy to pay for the privilege but is now complaining of it costing too much?

I think a one month extension costs $470 NZD, but I can't tell what longer term residency permits cost (it's probably a combination of multiple fees)

His journey will probably start by driving past the old rail station in downtown Ottawa (a couple blocks from parliament) out to the boonies.

Due to donation limits ($1700 / year), it's hard to amount to much unless you sprinkle it across all members of the household and donate to the party and EDA too.
