Its a seperate fund that you will get back, and its necessary. There is a large segement if irresponsible people in Canada and if they did not take it in advance, they would just spend it and Canada would have to pay via social programs anyway. As for people who are responisble? some of them will fail as well and still get helped by their past savings. If it did not exist there would be no employer matching amount so you can thank the govt for getting you that extra $ from your employer,
The Ontario government has started sending out $200 cheques to taxpayers
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date
I wasn't complaining about it.
I was responding to the poster who said the $200 isn't considered income because it comes from the gov't. So I pointed out that something like OAS is considered income.
Stop it. I said it's a rebate and then you tried to say OAS and CPP are rebates.
You just trying to be a contrarian and got caught up in your lies.

No, the Ontario rebate cheques announced by Premier Doug Ford are tax-free. The rebate is intended to help Ontario families with the high costs of interest rates and the federal carbon tax.
I guess it comes under "one time windfall gains" like a lottery
Other than the word "rebate" what evidence do you have that it's not taxable?

If you support Ford, you don't care about balancing budgets either!It was already in motion. And it's not a bribe, you don't owe him anything in return.
Since when do you guys care about budgets?
is the carbon tax rebate considered income?
I do not think so
A refund on an income tax filing is not considered income
this could be classified a rebate on the taxes we pay in Ont
if he did not have to pay billions in interest payments on the monstrous debt load (now close to $400 B) he inherited he likely could balance the budget
you are just being disingenuous or you are really bad with math.
As you do not recognise the fact that Dalton the Dummy and Granny Wynne assured all future Ontario premieres will be very hard press to balance the budget
The province went past the tipping point during their mis-management, when Ontario became the most indebted non-sovereign entity in the world
He likely should not have made a balanced budget a campaign promise.
Now he could go and lay off thousands of provincial public sector employees if you truly feel strongly about a balanced budget
Have you considered calling your MPP advising them to go this route ?
I'm sure Ms. Styles will happily use your $200 donation. It will not win her an election in Ontario but you will sleep better at night.
lol, as I've said before Ford would get no credit balancing the budget.
-He doesn't spend, you guys complain he's not doing anything to help.
-He spends and gives money back to taxpayers, you complain he isn't balancing the budget
All he can do is stick to his budget.
