Except that the amount for a couple in the article was 24K, which is 8K less than individually. You even quoted the 24K and disregarded it.

If you have 60K employment income, then the UBI would push you to 76K and the UBI would effectively be taxed at the highest rate. If your only income was UBI then you would exceed the basic personal exemption, and would pay zero tax.

Everyone gets the same UBI, but some people pay more tax on it if they have other income.

If you did work in some reasonable proportion of married couples, it might get close to break even. Then remember that CPP, OAS and EI all disappear, and whatever funds they have would contribute to UBI. CPP at max draw by itself is almost as much UBI.

Then, for people that also have some other form of income, some quantity of the UBI would be taxed back.

I'm not saying that it really does scale up, but your analysis is overly simplistic.

That's what I was hopingmthe plan was. We'll have to wait and see.

My BIL still gives his weight in "stone". As in, "I'm 12 stone, 7 lbs and 3 ounces".

I joke with him that only makes sense to people who are comfortable with Pounds, Shillings and Pence, too.

Shoot both. The JPEG's take up negligible space and are good if you need something "at the moment" for a purpose or to share. You can also compare your finished product to what the camera would have done by itself.

I'm guessing that the "cheese" component wasn't actually what anyone outside of the USA would call cheese.

I don't think so. The mail is delivered to the Proton mail server via unencrypted SMTP and then sent on to the client encrypted. The secure layer is between the client and the server. It might also be stored on the server encrypted.

Email is unsecure as hell in any event, but I think the idea is that once it's delivered, it's secured.

Isn't Proton supposed to be end to end encryption between crient and server? And wouldn’t that rule out IMAP?

Not saddest, just worst.

Exactly, manage the outcomes, not the people.

And don't forget, this is pretty sensitive stuff. So you have to make sure that it's a well built website or it's going to be a disaster. It's not just a page, it has to have some kind of content system behind it that non-programming staff can interact with and keep up to date.

Officially? I thought that they were going on a vote by vote basis. In that case, given that the CPC will always vote against the government, when something comes up that both the Bloc and the NDP are against it becomes a race to say who will vote against it first. This forces the other party to vote for something they dislike, or suffer an election (at least for confidence motions).
