Start off the New Year w/t a new tax cut

Gotta love it. Plus, for personal taxpayers, the new tax-free savings account [TFSA], which came into effect just yesterday, is perfect timing. Happy New Year!

Update

On both sides of the border.

Update - EI, EI, OHHHHHHH!

Off the subject of tax cuts, I agree with Monte Solberg on this one, especially since I have viewed the darkside of EI in my home province of New Brunswick. Let's just say, there has to be incentives restored to ensure ppl go to work a majority of the 52 week work period. Having too many of your citizens relying on EI (when they don't need to be) is not only damaging to those who chose this route, it is (as Monte says) a drag on entrepreneurship, initiative and creativity. Essentials for a healthy economy.
