Cloud 500 wrote ''There were no income taxes before 1917...'' what he means is that there was no Income Tax Act. My point about the seignorial system is that there a was already then a form of Tax on the gross income in that the products taken to the seigneurs mill such as grain was not all...

Eager Beaver seems to have been lucky to have paid such a tax only once in the past twenty years because according to this Wikipedia article this Mexico style shake down called hotel tax is also common south of our border.At least one of us is now enlightened . Happy New Year to everyone and...

Maybe this so called hospitality tax had come in force in Montreal very recently 20 years ago .I am surprised that Eager Beaver has not seen it since. I have paid it in Quebec City many times for stays in reputable hotels on business trips .It could be used to fund promotional expenses for the...

That is my point. The state takes the money through Incomes taxes ,customs duty, sales taxes GST, tempo fees, property taxes hospitality tax, inheritance taxes etc. Once it has the money, the way it got in the Treasury has no incidence on how wisely or fairly it will be spent. On this Fradi...

Fradi first post started suggesting some one seeking enlightenment about being overtaxed in Quebec could have a problem. in the following terms :'' I think if you need enlightenment that you are being way over taxed in Quebec then you have serious problems''. He used the pronoun ''you'' in...

You have not read my post carefully or I maybe was not clear enough in which case I apologize. My post was NOT a comment on or expressing an opinion on whether the Quebec government is or has been spending its budgets wisely. You are dragging me in area of discussion where I have not...

In Canada there was a form of income tax way before the 20 th century.It was a tax on gross income not on the net profits. Under the french seigneurial system the seigneur had the monopoly on owning and operating a mill.The farmer (censitaire)had to surrender part of was being milled to the...

This type of Bylaw has been around for years . The people who use the streets and sidewalks as their private snow dump should be deterred. from such egoist uncivility . I am for sustained enforcement here is why....More by-law enforcement and the higher the fines equals more deterrence and...

J'ai déjà vu neiger. It makes sense. A special permit only allows the City to recoup the cost of carting away that extra snow. It makes it more difficult for people in general to use the sidewalks, park in the street and it increases snow removal costs to the City. There is more...

[I am glad to see that Cloud 500 has again the use of his keyboard, I respecfully invite him to reply to my post(s) with more than an emoticon. If I am wrong I do invite him to educate me.

Cloud 500 wrote There are certain rights the constitution guarantees. That is everyone has the right to access justice in both official languages. Cloud 500 again got his facts wrong if he means as he seems to that such right is given to all Canadians in every Court in Canada and is...

Cloud 500 The attack on the Quebec mosque is described by you as the act of a xenophobe. Of the 40 Muslims frequenting the mosque at the time some could have been born in Canada. Living in Quebec city they woud probably have functionned well in French. Two of the deceased victims worked for...

Cloud 500 For your info I did learn SPANISH in 40 hours of night classes at Montreal High School in 1980 after that I could be functional when I travelled to Spain Cuba and Mexico on holidays. It helped of course that I mastered French and studied Latin everyday in High school, I and my 2...

Cloud 500 got his facts wrong . He asks why is not THE native language the official language. The fact is that there is not one Native language with different dialects there are Algonquian languages, Iroquoian languages such as Mohawk and Huron / Wendat. I do not know to what extent speakers...

Cloud 500 his facts wrong. SIX months is not the period given to an immigrant to reach the native speaker level in French It is the period during which the provincial civvil servants dealing with a recent immigrant can communicate with him in a language other than French Here is the text of...

Cloud500 has completely side stepped my criticism of his attack on Leqault for not speaking a native language. I take it that he does not want to push that point much further. Now he attacks him for his poor english. LEGAULT 'S POOR ENGLISH Why should Legault improve his English. His job is...

If not speaking a native is a test for racism and bigotry why not speaking french when living in Montreal is not a test for anti- french bigotry in the case of the CEO of Air Canada , of Ms Simon and so many others. Mr Legault did not say that Suzuki should not be the Captain he said now that...

Why is Cloud 500 zeroing in and pouncing on Legault for not speaking a native language ? There are a dozen of them languages in Québec including Inuktitut. Which one should he learn first to appease Cloud 500 ? Apart from the native premiers of Nunavut and the NWT, I doubt that any...

May be they said or meant asinine... it would explain why they hung up.But 2 different escorts!
