Canada recession looming?

Re: Canada recession looming?
At least in Canada the methodology is standardized, whereas in Scotland for example you need to have a clear understanding of how the Scotland Act 2012 works. In Canada the taxing powers are clearly broken down between Federal and provincial jurisdiction by the Constitution Act.
The same VAT rate applies in Cumbria as it does in Cheshire.
No wonder the immigrants get confused when they arrive here
I must admit though Im in favour of the VAT system as opposed to the well this is subject to GST but not PST or subject to both.
Item says $19.99 Ive got a $20 bill in my pocket good enough I can buy it and still get change.

Adding it on before collecting it at the till (which isn't done between VAT registrants) and the much higher rate are the only real differences.

Financial industry and oil are the main things the UK has that keeps the economy going, which is why it is such a mess at the moment because the financial industry is stuffed.
Frankly one of the reasons I emigrated is because the UK is near the end of the road with gas and oil extraction, and that was what ended the recession in the late '70s and early '80s.

I see "the uk doesn't make anything anymore" quite often - but it's just not true. A lot this perception is that manufacturing companies don't employ as many people directly, but contract out things such as marketing or logistics. It's the same people doing the same things, but they are now "service" jobs and not "manufacturing" jobs.
People say the same thing in US, and you even hear it here from time to time.

"Brokeback Mountain", "Unforgiven", "Passchendal", "X-Men". All made, at least in part, in ALBERTA!. There are also a lot more. The Port of Vancouver? Gateway for all the Chinese-made crap! An export related port, such as that proposed for the end of the Endbridge pipeline from Alberta, you do not appear to want. Enjoy all that tree-hugging and yoghurt weaving.
Your remarks about the Port Of Vancouver are just silly. Where do you think all the imported goods in Alberta come from?
And your last comment is also silly. I suppose you're trying to offend me or something.
And yeah we don't want your crappy, bound-to-leak pipeline. Shit is ON, beotch.

I've got no issue with pipe-lines in general, but the perception of this is that it's all BC's risk for only Albetra's gain. It's not really surprising that not many people here want it imo.

BC take money out of the system what Alberta put in then give it out to those that don't want to work. Canada some times acts like each province is a desperate country instead of working togather

IF alberta was prepared to stump up some real cash - like, if the damn thing leaks they're responsible for paying for tghe clean up - then it would help the situation a lot.
It's very, very unpopular where I live. The pipeline goes through my city to the port and this area also happens to be a swing seat both federally and provincially. Also, it goes under an area that is now very highly and densely populated. The Mayor has already come out and made it clear the municipal government will do what they can to stop it.

Show us the money if you want the pipeline.

Do you mean equalization payments? If so then you are incorrect. Look it up.
