I was one of those experts that spoke to a Legislative Committee on this matter in 2020. Kenney is right that he set a high threshold (which Smith lowered). But the argument made for recall was to hold MLAs accountable between elections, not just breaches of ethical behaviour.

Jason Kenney and his government was advised by experts that, as written, the recall legislation would be used as it currently is. He didnt care because he wanted it used as such against the NDP 🤷🏻‍♀️ www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Every medical expense claim over about $8k I expect to be reviewed. I don’t expect to be denied when I have this much back including benefit docs from Ucalgary with the premiums on top
Of pay stubs and a letter but here we are

They did. It was denied because they didn’t fill out box 85 on the T4

The compliance time on this over the other $13k despite CRA having third party confirmation is just 🤯. But I won’t give up, I wont

Employer provided a letter that was denied because they didn’t fill in box 85. Box 85 is elective. Employer is cranky about having to reissue T4. Me reminding them of EDIA commitments… for a lousy 15% nonrefundable tax credit a couple hundred

Notice of objection rejection denied. Why. I filed a medical expense claim north of $13k that included just under $200 in annual health insurance dental premiums. Those were denied despite pay stubs. Wanted proof from provider who can’t provide proof because paid by pay stubs…

What I also know is when I started at uni profs were complaining about the library adopting DOS based computers that allowed us to use multiple search terms in the library vs the card catalogue so change is hard and if you can’t adjust, maybe retire

I desperately have to maintain a level playing field for all students regardless of what I think or trying to absorb for my own purposes so this was really important to learn because free access in a pay to access world is gold
