SCHOOL FOR THOUGHT

There Are Credits And Then There Are Tax Credits

Ontario Premier McGuinty has floated the idea of a $50 tax credit for parents who have there kids enrolled in sports or other activities, similar to the the plan the federal government has in place.  Well now that the littlest ones are at school all day, what’s left for the government to spend our money on? (It’s an election year, fill in the blank here ______.)

SQE would rather that the Education Tax Credit be reinstated.  It probably would have been cheaper in the long run for the province to to keep it. Considering it was taken away, rather cruelly AFTER parents had already committed themselves to use it, this nickname may start to stick.
