The 2016 Federal budget was released on March 22. Naturally Gavin, Tyler, and Andrew get together to discuss some of the issues the new budget raises. We ponder why the CBC is getting 675 million in funding, what infrastructure spending might mean, and wonder at the total lack of marijuana in the budget. The live show can be seen in its 2hour and 50 minutes of unedited profanity laced glory at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8L-_w9S2uA0. The edited audio version of the show was cut down to 2 hours and 5 minutes.

What are we drinking?

Tyler - Sidelaunch Wheat Beer

Andrew - Brown Ale Homebrew

We talk a little about home brewing beer, and my process for all grain brew in a bag.

Topic - 30 billion federal deficit

Debt-to-GDP

Our plan is reasonable and affordable. By the end of our first mandate, Canada’s debt-to-GDP ratio will be lower than it is today.

• $29.4 billion deficit this year
• $29 billion shortfall next year
• Liberals insist the debt-to-GDP ratio will drop from 31.2 to 30.9 by 2021
• Adding $150 billion to federal debt could rise debt-GDP to 36.1 per cent by 2021

Taxes & Payroll

• Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) limit reduction to $5,500, used to be $10,000
• Income spilling is no longer available
• EI premium paid by employers is expected to fall to $2.31 per $100 in wages from $2.63, starting in 2017
• Tax cuts for people earning $200,000
• Trudeau is breaking a promise to limit stock option income deductibility
• adding somewhere between $500 million and $1 billion to the deficit.
• This special tax rule lets people paid with stock options pay only half the tax.
• The top 100 CEOs from TSX-traded companies hold $2 billion in stock options
• Trudeau will keep Harper’s corporate tax cuts

Infrastructure

• $11.9 billion spread over the next five years
• The initial promise of just over $5 billion in infrastructure spending for 2016-17, for example, is now reduced to around $3.7 billion.
• Where are the roads, bridges, and community centers that would create jobs today and benefit people and the economy for years to come?
• Transit infrastructure $3.4 billion over three years, with just $852 million in 2016/17
• Green infrastructure $5 billion over five years, with only $650 million next year - 80% for drinking- and waste-water systems
• Social infrastructure $3.4 billion over five years. Just $1.166 billion next year.

First Nations

• $2 billion in water and wastewater infrastructure and drinking water monitoring over five years
• 2011 government-funded study found it would require $4.7 billion over a ten-year span for drinking water and wastewater systems servicing in First Nations
• additional annual operating and maintenance budget of $419 million
• $8.4 Billion over 5 years, half on education

Immigration

We know that newcomers are vital to the Canadian economy, and so our government will welcome 300,000 new permanent residents in 2016.

• need to welcome an additional 37,900 immigrants compared to 2014
• 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of February 2016
• 45,000 Syrian citizens will become Canadians

Canada Child Benefit

• Boutique tax Credits like Universal Child Care scraped

• “Child benefit payments get fattened meaningfully in the low-to-middle income range at the expense of those in the middle-to-upper income ranges,” BMO economists Doug Porter and Robert Kavcic said.

• Families with children under age six will receive an annual tax-free benefit of up to $6,400 per child.
• Those with children between the ages of six and 17 will receive up to $5,400 annually.

Estimates from http://www.budget.gc.ca/2016/tool-outil/ccb-ace-en.html

National Defence

“The government is committed to renewing the major equipment of the Canadian Armed Forces, including Canada’s aging fleets of CF-18 fighter aircraft and maritime warships. To ensure that funding is available when key capital acquisitions will be made, we will reallocate funding for large-scale capital projects from the 2015–16 to 2020–21 period to future years. This funding is being shifted into future years to align with the timing of major equipment acquisitions” Bill Morneau Finance Minister

• 2017-18 the government will cut $1.3 billion out of previously committed spending on defence hardware
• Reopened Veterans Affairs Offices, nine offices were closed by Harper in 2015
• caseworkers were to be redeployed to nearby Service Canada offices
• Adding one new office in Surrey BC
• new funding to reduce the client/case manager ratio to no more than 25:1
• Still no reinstatement of life time pensions
• shrinks funding by $3.72-billion over five years to account for major delays in plans to buy new fighter jets and ships.
• Broken promise to keep up with previous defence spending levels

New Cultural Spending $1.9 billion

• CBC to get $675 million in funding.
• Notice the deafening silence from other media outlets
• $75-million in new funds for the rest of this fiscal year followed by an extra $150-million annually through 2021
• $550 million over five years for the Canada Council for the Arts

Counter-Terrorism

• $8 million in new funding

Education

• Education and textbook credits are no longer available on personal income tax
• $40 million a year to help employers create more co-op placements for students in science, engineering, technology, math and business.
• $10 million promised to develop and expand apprenticeships
• $25 million for a restored Youth Services Program
• bump up Canada Student Grants for low-income students to $3,000 a year for full-time students and $1,800 for part-time students
• extra $750 million a year in non-repayable grant assistance
• Off set by cancelling textbook tax credits

Special Tax Credits for Teachers (and early childhood educators)

• 15-per-cent tax credit on up to $1,000 worth of eligible purchases “such as paper, glue and paint for art projects, games and puzzles, and supplementary books.”
• Despite Liberal push to eliminate “boutique” tax credits
• $140 million over six years

“Bail In” Scheme

• Buried on page 223 less than one page

• Allow authorities to convert eligible long-term debt of a failing systemically important bank into common shares to recapitalize the bank and allow it to remain open an operating

• The bank is able to use depositors’ funds to continue to operate the bank, IE steal your money
• Look at Cyprus in 2013 and Greece in 2015 (EU bail out), 2008 global credit crisis
• Deemed too big to fail

Court Challenges Program restored

• Introduce by Pierre Trudeau in 1978 as an arms-length initiative to fund interest groups intent on launching charter and language-rights cases against the federal and provincial governments
• a chance for left-wing groups to make their case before liberal-minded courts
• Scrapped under Harper Conservatives in 2006

Marijuana

• Totally absent from the budget
• Nothing about income from taxation nor costs for legalization
• Possible scam to increase young voter turnout?

Broken Promises so far

As of March 21, Trudeau has been in office for 139 days, he has managed to break 5 promises so far.

1. Develop a new National Early Learning and Child Care Framework to deliver affordable, high-quality, flexible, and inclusive child care for Canadian families - this work will begin in the first 100 days of a Liberal government and is to be funded through investments in social infrastructure.
2. Run short-term deficits of less than $10 billion in each of the next two fiscal years (2016 and 2017).
3. The 2016 middle class tax cut combined with the new 33% tax bracket will be revenue neutral.
4. Welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of 2015.
   Federal government spent $6 million upgrading military bases for Syrian refugees who didn’t stay there

Topic - Ontario’s Free Education Scheme

What’s proposed in budget

• Providing the majority of eligible students whose parents earn the median annual income of $83,300 or less with enough in grants to more than cover their tuition costs
• Eliminating provincial student loan debt for eligible students whose parents earn less than $50,000
• Ensuring that no eligible student receives less non-repayable aid through the new grant than they currently do through the 30% Off Ontario Tuition Grant.

• Provincial government claims average university tuition in Ontario costs $6,160. Statistics Canada says it’s $7,868.
• tuition increase of roughly four per cent scheduled for 2017

http://www.macleans.ca/education/ontarios-free-tuition-promise-doesnt-add-up/

Existing issues with modern post secondary education

“This vicious cycle of poverty and privilege must be stopped.”

http://www.queensjournal.ca/story/2016-02-29/opinions/what-ontarios-free-tuition-actually-means-for-students/

• Dumbing down of university curriculum
• Lack of critical thinking
• Emphasis on “arts”that don’t lead to a career
• Government fueled propaganda/liberal/SJW havens  

Issues created by making post secondary education free

• Supply and demand
• scarcity
• Increased cost, universities in bed with government, uncapped tuition rates
• Value of the education
• Increased “need” for seats at institutions
• Middle and upper class earners still have to pay for their own children

We have to pass it to know whats in it, comes from Nacy Polosi http://www.politico.com/livepulse/0310/Pelosi_People_wont_appreciate_reform_until_it_passes.html

Issues solved by making post secondary education free

• Theoretically a better educated populace
• Except who cares about free stuff? IE high school education
• More baristas

Slamgybe on Episode 17

Well you asked...didn't you?
Excellent interview though. Very well done.
Might be an idea to have your guest on again as things progress on the cannabis front in Canada. It will be interesting to see what comes of the upcoming UN General Assembly this April as they will be dealing with, at least, some aspects of this issue.

Nautical term: severe variety is the Windward Broach, also called a Gybe Broach (also called a death roll...really!) which usually occurs on a run where the spinnaker is so far to windward that it pulls the boat over to windward with it! In this case the boat goes over faster and farther than in a Leeward Broach, and causes the main to slam gybe.

Facebook
Sharp Ninety-Seven Soooo about the split in grass locations to purches I don't think it would be a two tired system as you put it. For example Tylenol is both sold over-the-counter and behind the counter some you need a prescription, some you don't. Not all cannabis is the same. there are specific strains for medical use they would be sold in pharmacies and those for "relaxation" would be available for purches else where. But at this point I could just be beating a dead horse. Can't wait to hear from you Wednesday.

'Everybody Has to Have Guns,' Says Eagles of Death Metal Frontman as Band Returns to Paris

https://news.vice.com/article/everybody-has-to-have-guns-says-eagles-of-death-metal-frontman-as-band-returns-to-paris-1

November 13, 2015, 90 people dead at Bataclan concert hall in Paris France

It was one of a series of attacks in Paris that night in which 130 people died, which the Islamic State terrorist group later claimed responsibility for.

Hughes — a long-time advocate for access to gun ownership — told French television station iTélé that gun control did not save lives.

"Did your French gun control stop a single fucking person from dying at the Bataclan? And if anyone can answer yes, I'd like to hear it, because I don't think so. I think the only thing that stopped it was some of the bravest men that I've ever seen in my life charging head-first into the face of death with their firearms."

Topic - Ontario’s 2016 Budget

Cap and Trade

http://news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/canadian-politics/ontarios-cap-and-trade-plan-will-add-4-3-cents-a-litre-to-gas-prices-5-a-month-to-natural-gas-bills-wynne

+4.3 cents per liter to gasoline  

+$5  per month for natural gas

+156 annual increase per household, total cost left out of the budget

Revenue from the cap-and-trade auction set for next year will be used to “protect” consumers from an electricity rate hike and could even lead to rates going down, Wynne said, adding she expects the program won’t increase electricity costs for the industrial and commercial sectors.

Expected 1.3 billion dollars in revenue to lower greenhouse gas emissions

carbon pricing is most costly least efficient way to to impose cap and trade

big polluters are being given free carbon credits

based on EU model, Emissions Trading Scheme

Free carbon credits completely undermine the purpose of cap-and-trade, which is to put a price on industrial carbon dioxide emissions.

government estimated cost of $18/per ton, but can not be known until auction starts.

consumer costs will increase over time as allowable emissions are reduced

I know it's a bit late but I just finished ep 17 and I was thinking if there are multiple type and used for different reasons couldn't the lcbo distribut the "recreational" plants and the pharmacys carry the medical stuff? That way if you are taking it for a problem the pharmacist and tell you what and how to take it. Pretty much like any other drug.

Marijuana in Canada

Personal growing

Black market growers

distribution

State approved

is it really mail order?

are growers also distributors

Is there a grey market? What about clubs and dispensaries?

Black market

consumption

How do you get a permit to purchase or use marijuana?

Is your doctor involved? Is it like an Rx; ammount, dose, etc?

How often is it renewed?

How do clubs work?

How do you get membership? Entry control

Use control, ie SmartServe for liqour

future state

LCBO - Premier of Ontario suggestion

Shoppers Drugmart -

consumption

Explaining the government's rationale for moving to legalize, Blair said the goal is to strictly regulate the drug and restrict its access to minors. It will also take billions of dollars in black market sales from organized crime groups, he said.

Blair called the number of Canadians charged with possession "shocking," noting that in 2014 there were 22,000 charges laid. Current laws disproportionately affect minority and aboriginal communities, he added.

NDP Leader Tom Mulcair urged the government to immediately decriminalize pot so no Canadians are slapped with charges before new laws are enacted.
