HST! a Lesson Learned by BC Politicians
TAX! No one liked to be taxed.
Even it’s good for the economy.
BC politicians thought since they understand the goodness of HST, rest of the BC will follow their lead and will accept a 7% tax increase.
Unfortunately they underestimated the BC residences. Power of the people. It is so exciting to see that people’s voice mattered and with that BC residences brought down leaders of both the parties.
Even a bribe of 15% income tax cut by departing Premier could not help him to stay in power.

Why Borrowing to Invest in RRSP is a Bad Idea?
RRSP season is coming.
You still have two more months to top up your RRSP contribution. If you have fully used up your RRSP contribution room for 2009, your 2010 RRSP contribution limit will be 18% of your 2009 earned income to a maximum of $22,000. You might have more contribution room if you have unused RRSP from previous years.
RRSP is a tax deferred investment. You do not pay any tax on your RRSP contribution as long as you keep your investment in your RRSP account. Once you start to withdraw money from your RRSP account, it become fully taxable during the year it is withdrawn, except for Home Buyer Plan. HBP is like taking a loan from your RRSP account and you must pay it back. If you do not repay and fill up your RRSP account, unpaid amount is included in your income and is taxable.
