So the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) (which the gov't passed last year, Bill C-22), which was passed with the intent of "lifting people with disabilities out of poverty," finally got funded in the budget that was released today - and it's such fucking bullshit.

It's a maximum amount of $200/month ($2400/year)

You have to be approved for the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) to be eligible - something that advocates were specifically saying should not happen because it's so fucking difficult to get on. The CDB should be barrier-free.

Doesn't start until July 2025

It's such fucking bullshit. $200 a month? And not for another fucking year? Not to mention the DTC requirement? Are you fucking kidding me?? I'm so mad.

This CBC article about it can contains this quote - "Khedr estimates that roughly 1.6 million Canadians with disabilities are living below the poverty line. But Tuesday's budget says only 600,000 would be eligible for the new national benefit." This is because of the DTC requirement. Jesus Christ.

Anyway, Canadian folks, please for the love of god contact your MPs and tell them how awful this is. It needs to be more money, it needs to be enough to actually have an impact, and it needs to not require DTC eligibility.

I'm so mad.

HEY CANADA:

it's insanely important, if you're in Canada & are able, to call your MPs and encourage them to vote "NO" on Budget 2024. the amount of people who will be harmed by this budget is beyond devastating, there are no words.

if you don't know, the federal government (as an example) was supposed to provide the Canada Disability Benefit to uplift disabled individuals and families out of poverty. the proposed budget offers $2400/yr (that's $200/month) to disabled Canadians and is means tested in two ways: A) you have to have the DTC (Disability Tax Credit), something that involves even more forms and documents and invading yourself with doctors to "prove you're disabled", & B) will be assessed and given based off a households income, not the individual (this does not affect renters in occupant situations/sublets, as a clarification). the federal government is ONLY "calling on provinces and territories to not have clawbacks" on the federal benefit.

in Ontario, Disability (ODSP: Ontario Disability Support Program) can come to $1300 (very much so depending on circumstances, like if you don't have an address for example, cause then you don't get the shelter amount, just the basic needs). adding the $200 is only $1500 and still WAY below the poverty line.

THIS IS EUGENICS AT WORK.

with MAiD Trak 2 implemented, and they are on track to expand it further ("mature minors"), they are really telling disabled and vulnerable people that our lives our only worth approximately $50.66/day after it all, and coercing us further more into MAiD with the lack of inadequate supports necessary for us to live a dignified life

please, i am BEGGING you to contact your MPs and remind them the votes they will lose if they vote Yes on budget 2024, encourage them to vote No, say what works for your area. MAKE THEM LISTEN/HEAR YOU. make your concerns known!

A Step-by-Step Guide to Personal Tax Filing in British Columbia

Filing personal taxes in British Columbia can feel easy when done step-by-step. This guide breaks it down for first-time filers & anyone seeking clarity on their tax duties. In this article, we learn about the process of filing personal taxes in British Columbia in step-by-step

1. Preparing for Tax Season

Start by understanding the basics:

Key Dates: Canadian taxes cover income from January 1 to December 31, with a typical filing deadline of April 30. File early to avoid penalties.

Who Must File: If you earn income in Canada, including employment, freelance, or investments, you must file a tax return.

What to Have Ready:

Your Social Insurance Number (SIN)

Any CRA correspondence, like your Notice of Assessment (NOA)

Banking information for direct deposit of refunds

2. Gather Necessary Documents

Having the correct documents is critical:

Income Slips: Collect T4s from employers, T5s for investment income, and any freelance income records.

Receipts for Credits: Keep proof of deductions, such as medical expenses, childcare & tuition fees.

Home and Work Expenses: If you work remotely, claim home office deductions with proper receipts.

3. Understand Tax Credits and Deductions

In British Columbia, certain credits can reduce your tax payable:

BC Sales Tax Credit: A refundable credit for low- and moderate-income residents.

Charitable Donations: Receipts for charitable contributions can boost your refund.

Disability Tax Credit (DTC): Available for eligible individuals or their caregivers.

4. Choose a Filing Method

There are several ways to file your taxes:

Use Tax Software: CRA-approved software like TurboTax or Wealthsimple can help you file online.

Paper Filing: Download forms from the CRA, fill them manually, and mail them.

Hire a Tax Professional: If your taxes are complex, a professional ensures accuracy and helps maximize deductions.

For online filing, use NETFILE, CRA’s secure portal, to submit your return directly.

5. Complete Your Tax Return

When filling out your return:

Report all income accurately, including employment, self-employment, and investments.

Deduct eligible expenses, including BC-specific credits.

Double-check for accuracy to avoid delays in processing.

Important: Use the CRA’s My Account to track tax documents and confirm submission.

6. Submit and Pay Taxes Owed

Submit your tax return electronically via NETFILE or by mail for paper submissions. If you owe taxes:

Pay using online banking, CRA’s My Payment service, or by cheque.

Late payments attract interest, so pay promptly.

7. Track Your Refund or Assessment

After submission:

Check the status of your refund via the CRA website or mobile app.

Your Notice of Assessment (NOA) will confirm if your return was processed and outline any corrections.

Common Questions About Tax Filing in BC

Do I Need to File if I Earned Below a Certain Amount? Yes, filing ensures access to benefits like GST/HST credits or Canada Child Benefits.

Can I File Taxes Late? Yes, but late submissions may incur penalties and interest.

What if I Made a Mistake? Submit a correction using the CRA’s ReFILE service online.

Starlink Targets Telecom Operators: Direct Satellite Internet for Mobile Phones Without Apps or Extra Devices

A Game-Changing Technology Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet service, continues to make leaps in innovation. Recently, the technology surpassed 4 million subscribers globally and expanded into sectors like commercial aviation, partnering with United Airlines. Now, Starlink has unveiled ‘Direct to Cell’ (DTC), a satellite connectivity solution that provides internet directly to mobile phones without requiring additional apps or devices.

Seamless Connectivity Announced on social media by both Starlink and Elon Musk, ‘Direct to Cell’ eliminates the need for extra hardware or special applications. According to Starlink, this service allows for “seamless access to text, voice, and data for LTE mobile phones worldwide.”

Musk emphasized the simplicity of the technology in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating that it “just works.” Starlink highlighted that the service is functional on existing LTE phones as long as there’s a clear view of the sky.

Telecom Partnerships Mario Nawfal, a partner of Elon Musk, added that major telecom companies, including T-Mobile in the U.S., Rogers in Canada, and KDDI in Japan, are in discussions with Starlink to integrate this groundbreaking technology into their networks. These partnerships aim to “revolutionize connectivity,” paving the way for the future of mobile networks.

How It Works The DTC service connects phones directly to satellites, bypassing traditional cellular towers. This eliminates coverage gaps, especially in remote areas where conventional mobile networks struggle to provide service.

Unlike traditional satellite internet setups that rely on intermediary devices or custom software, DTC works with standard LTE phones without requiring changes to hardware, firmware, or apps.

Current Limitations and Future Potential Initially, Starlink’s DTC service will only support text messaging as the company awaits regulatory approval from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to fully commercialize the service. However, Musk has expressed optimism, claiming that the technology will eliminate “dead zones” worldwide once fully operational.

Impact on Satellite Communications This development represents a significant leap in satellite communication technology. By eliminating the reliance on physical infrastructure, Starlink DTC could disrupt the telecommunications industry, extending connectivity to underserved regions and potentially challenging traditional mobile operators.

Starlink’s latest move positions it as a serious contender in reshaping global mobile connectivity, while partnerships with leading telecom providers suggest broad adoption is on the horizon

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit designed to help individuals with disabilities or their caregivers reduce the amount of income tax they have to pay. However, applying for the DTC can be tricky, and it’s important to provide accurate information. Even small mistakes can lead to delays, rejections, or even penalties. In this blog, we’ll discuss the consequences of misreporting on a DTC application and how you can ensure your application is successful.

What happens if I misreport information on my DTC application?

If you misreport information on your DTC application, the consequences can vary depending on the nature of the mistake. Some of the potential outcomes include:

Application rejection: If inaccurate or misleading information is discovered, your application may be rejected, and you’ll need to reapply with correct information.

Delays in processing: Even if the error is unintentional, it can lead to long delays in the approval process while the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) reviews your application more closely.

Penalties: In cases where misreporting is found to be intentional, you could face financial penalties or even be charged with tax fraud.

Loss of trust: Once misreporting is detected, CRA may take a closer look at your future applications and tax filings, which can affect your ability to receive credits or benefits in the future.

Can I fix mistakes after submitting my DTC application?

Yes, you can fix mistakes on your DTC application after submission. If you realize you’ve made an error, it’s important to correct it as soon as possible by contacting the CRA. Being proactive in correcting errors can prevent your application from being rejected or delayed, and may help you avoid penalties.

What are some common mistakes on DTC applications?

Here are a few common mistakes that people make when filling out their DTC applications:

Incomplete information: Leaving out important details or failing to provide supporting documentation.

Inaccurate medical information: Providing incorrect or vague descriptions of your disability or how it affects daily activities.

Misunderstanding eligibility: Applying when you don’t meet the criteria or misunderstanding how severe your impairment needs to be.

Filing too late: Missing the deadline for submission, especially for retroactive claims.

How can expert guidance help with my DTC application?

Hiring an expert or consulting with a DTC specialist can significantly reduce the risk of misreporting on your application. Professionals have a deep understanding of the application process and can help with:

Thorough review of your application: Experts ensure that every section is completed accurately and that all required documents are attached.

Accurate medical descriptions: They can help you correctly describe your condition and its impact on your life, improving your chances of approval.

Navigating complex situations: If you have a unique or complex case, a professional can provide guidance on how to present your situation clearly to the CRA.

Appealing rejected applications: If your application is denied, experts can guide you through the appeals process and help you address any issues.

Why should I avoid DIY DTC applications?

While it may seem simple to complete the DTC application on your own, the potential for errors is high, especially if you’re not familiar with the process. Without expert help, you might:

Miss key information that could lead to rejection.

Provide incorrect or unclear medical descriptions, making it harder for the CRA to approve your application.

Struggle with the appeals process if your application is denied.

How can I ensure my DTC application is successful?

To increase your chances of success, follow these tips:

Double-check your application: Review every detail before submission and ensure all required documents are included.

Be honest and thorough: Provide clear and accurate information about your disability and how it impacts your daily life.

Consult an expert: Working with a DTC specialist can save you time and help avoid costly mistakes.

Respond quickly to CRA inquiries: If the CRA contacts you for additional information, reply as soon as possible to avoid delays.

Conclusion

Applying for the Disability Tax Credit in Canada can make a big difference in your financial situation, but it’s important to avoid mistakes on your application. Misreporting information, whether intentional or accidental, can lead to serious consequences, including application rejection, delays, or penalties. By seeking expert guidance and thoroughly reviewing your application, you can ensure your application process is smooth and successful.

Open commentary welcome

Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 158, Number 26: Canada Disability Benefit Regulations

I only found out about this last night, but there's still through September 23rd to fill it in. The following are the comments I left in the general box. It seemed the easiest way to go about it. Feel free to copy and paste these and use them yourself.

The heinous handling of the benefit by the Liberal government that outright ignored recommendations and put in print an outright violation of the promise to lift disabled people out of poverty is noxious in the extreme. You don't need me to tell you that this should have been handled better, and a lot sooner, but here's what needs to be done AT LEAST:

remove the DTC as a qualifier

do not tie the payouts to family income levels

remove all age limits

allow caregivers to access the funds to assist in taking care of disabled children and other disabled dependants

find a way to force the provinces not to clawback

ensure the federal government itself doesn't clawback other supports such as CPPD, OAS, etc.

provide an amount for all recipients that is sufficient to meet, at the very least, basic needs

the provided amount to be tied to the yearly inflation rates for increases

the provided amount to be no less than what was determined acceptable for CERB's monthly payout

provide no less than six months worth of full benefits as a non-taxable, non-clawed back single payment in order to compensate for some of the pain and suffering disabled people have experienced due to Liberal delay and egregious broken faith with the disabled community

turn the DTC into a cash benefit, or, at the very least, allow each person who qualifies to choose each year whether they'll use it as it currently works or to receive it as a cash payment (either in whole or what remains after its been used as it currently is used)
