Son the way you talk you'd try to milk a bull i guess you've never been to a beef breeding ranch or a bucking bull operation.....lol but I've never personally done it but I've seen vets do it lol sometimes you have to do some dirty work to support your family..... oil is dirty but it can help cause fund a brighter future. Like you said Canada only has about 30 years to make all it can off oil.... ha you know if things keep getting worse B.C will become the most hated province around..... kinda sad that a simple cowboy as my self can see this but you can't...... then again maybe what I call basic business knowledge isn't basic after all even when I explain it as simple as I can and you still don't get lol oil is more then just numbers you like to use.....in Canada oil is its biggest earner and when oil goes down so does the rest of Canada ......that's called the butterfly affect......

Sure Harper "approved" except he didn't do the proper consultation and left it in a complete mess. Again you're not working with the facts here Rob, not even close. Your comment on the 'left coast' seemed blamey. As if no one out here would be effected by the tax changes. Yes, look at the links I posted before responding. If a kid between 18-24 is actually doing some work on the farm they can split the income. But there were people that abused the tax system and tried to split income with family that weren't even on the farm. And you think CRA is going to just look the other way? what planet are you on? Okay not to be rude....most farmers I've met barely understand the tax rights off.... sure they understand the basic ones tractor bailer and so on but a lot of the older ones lack the knowledge, they don't realize with taxes there's a whole lot of grey area..... for example....if a farmer has a son and he has a truck....he can right it off and same for the insurance and if he has his own fuel tanks then his son can fill up for next to nothing and it's still a tax right off.... I save a lot of money thx to that grey area but I can justify everything I right off. So I have no problems with the government but I use their system against them.....

Wi-fi, clean and quite inexpensive! But taking one from Calgary to thunder Bay, effectively a flat straight line at 400kph. Man that makes no sense.

Your lack of knowledge regarding production costs and supply is shocking. You blame BC for world market issues and investment decisions from producers. Son you're all hat and no cattle. There's no argument about it. Ignoring literal econn 101 and claiming you know business is like Jason Kenney claiming he is a prairie boy, or Trudeau claiming he knows how to lead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But claiming your kid is working on the farm while clearly away at school is just dumb and asking CRA to step in. And before @Rob_Zepp chimes in and calls me anti-farm, I do agree that we should support them in other ways, just not by tax cheating. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but most accountants don't talk about the grey area or use the grey area unless someone brings it up.....cause like you said it can be dangerous and do more bad then good....

I will vote Wexit both federally and provincially. Many parts of BC would gladly join AB & Sask. Disagree. I'm think the Peace River area would be on board, but not much else.
