Sure there are cheaper rates such as day homes but one never knows what exactly goes on. Day cares have regulated standards.

Hell no! How about a real tax break for families that have a stay at home parent? Best for the kids and best for everyone else.

That would encourage a healthy family atmosphere, which we know is not the goal anymore in Western society. The traditional family must disappear.

Just a little tidbit! Just going through this with a passing of a family member!
If you and your spouse were in a car wreck, and both killed. The government
takes 48% right off the top of your RRSP's!
No Questions asked. Then the rest is split in the estate.
I will be getting rid of my RRSP's Before anything else

Ultra rare that both spouses die at same time but yes, if the rrsp amount puts you over $200,000 income in year you die big tax bill ensues. But, that's what life insurance is for if that's a an issue.

Just another concern with your TFSA and RRSp's etc Who do you give the money to, I trust bankers about as much as lawyers. Will the $$$ be their when you want to draw it out. I like to keep my retirement money in 2-3 banks so maybe some will be their when I try to cash it out.

Watch where your $$ retirement money is invested. It might be gone.

And in case you are one of the 321,000 retirees who are nervous about your pension managers' actions, don't worry: The loan is secured by a pool of mortgages originated by Home Trust, and as everyone knows, in Canada home prices never go down.

How is this even possible? Conflict?
As Bloomberg reports, the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP) is the lender behind Home Capital Group’s C$2 billion loan ($1.5 billion) to shore up liquidity, citing people familiar with the matter.

HOOPP President and Chief Executive Officer Jim Keohane sits on Home Capital’s board and is a shareholder.

In the oil crunch most company's retired workers over 55 allowing the younger workers to keep their jobs. Losing your job 7-8 years before your planned retirement date can be a crushing blow, there are thousands of people in the same position with the same job skills looking for jobs. Years ago you could pull your retirement early supplementing your income with a part time job now all these jobs are filled by the new Canadians. Retiring at 67 sounds good if your job lasts that long.

Bailout, and conflict of Interest? Wonder if Ontario Health care workers know what Investors are utilizing there retirement funds for? From low risk to high risk, overnight.

Well its not quite like that as taxes are paid on a graded schedule but if someone earns over $300,000 in a year everything over $303,900 would be taxed at 48%.

Not to sure about that, Both financial adviser and lawyer said the same. They also said, no one ever tell them the facts about when this happens.
Even a fellow I knew, when his wife passed on and moved her RRSP's
over it cost him 35% of her RRSP's to the government.
