I have dyscalculia and am self-employed, so taxes, accounting, filing documents, etc. quite literally breaks my brain.
The CRA is chronically under resourced and the bureaucracy is set up in such a way as to be needlessly frustrating.
But I wanna be clear : The people who answer the phones? Angels

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.
The 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to immediate, sweeping, bipartisan gun law reforms.

I hosted a show at CHUO 89.1 for nearly a decade. This is such devastating news. And sadly, it can be traced back to conservative campaigns on campus which pushed students to reject levies that pay for things like campus media.
CHUO lost its levy two years ago and was never able to recover.

Layoffs are another wound inflicted by Donald Trump. But this is how Canada can rebuild its industrial base
Among the options are the government taking a stake in key industrial companies.
