If you're gonna spout off with statistics...
Your statcan graph says 63% OF THE CANADIANS THAT REPORT THEY HAVE RELIGION ( about 66% of Canadians) are Christian, about 42% of Canadians report as Christian, just under 2.5% Muslim
34% of Canadians report as atheist or agnostic. The most popular religion in Canada is atheism... THANK GOD
Sometimes if you don't take cash, you don't get the work. We quoted a job that was $180000 but the client insisted that it was to be paid in cash. We said we couldn't do that. Another shop got the job. We know who that was. The market speaks when consumption taxes are a high as they are. Raise them higher and the underground economy grows.The grift isn't even hidden anymore for residential work. Cash for an $8K roof. $5K for a small waterproofing job. The assumption is cash.
Wow.Sometimes if you don't take cash, you don't get the work. We quoted a job that was $180000 but the client insisted that it was to be paid in cash. We said we couldn't do that.

Stats can numbers are 63% report Christian. Atheists are counted in ‘other’, agnostic in the 26% with no affiliation.If you're gonna spout off with statistics...

Different sites have different percentages of religious "sects", but pretty well every one agrees that about 35% of Canadians are "secular"... which leaves 65% for all the rest.Atheists are counted in ‘other’, agnostic in the 26%

If 63% of Canadians are Christian... that leaves 2% for all the rest of the religions... of which at least 1% are Pastafarians (Maybe the world's fastest growing religion)
A Pastafarian prayer for y'all:
“Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, …and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns.
I hope that helps you through the day.
Second fastest growing religion is the Church of Satan (that don't worship the christian satan, the devil. It's more of a Ayn Rand thing, and it seems to me to be more moral than any religion I have any exposure to... maybe not the Sikhs... as religions go I kinda like the Sikhs.I once asked a Sikh scholar what the Sikh origin of life story was. He told me "we don't do that, it's too easy to be proven wrong". GREAT ANSWER... don't know if it the CORRECT answer, but I think it is infinitely expedient) When I read Hitchhiker's Guide, Adams explanation that the mice contracted the creation of the world as a giant computer sounds just as likely as any other origin story. 42
The internet is ruining religion, the end started when Luther posted, then the "social media" that was the printing press spread the word of the gospel to the common man, instead of being interpreted by the clergy... and the common man could read the book and make his own decisions... and a lot us made the decision: THIS IS BS
No wake and bake... but according to Canadian federal law, I wake up baked every day and have for the last 50 years.Wake and bake today?
Nice sermon!
Sure, I’ll set it up for you. Forgive me father for I have sinned, I changed the oil on 2 bikes and a car using Rotella oil+ Fram filters.No wake and bake... but according to Canadian federal law, I wake up baked every day and have for the last 50 years.
I have heard MANY MANY sermons in my lifetime, TOO MANY, I think I'm allowed a response... that was a very abridged version. Want the some more?
Should have taken the job. As far as I'm aware there is no law against depositing cash, same as a cheque. It'd be up to the government if they want to do the digging. You have nothing to hide as long as you're claiming it no different than an Etransfer. You provided the goods or services. I sold a car for 25k and deposited the cash. If they want to dig into the next owner of the car and why it was appraised for $2500 two days later when the new owner put it in their name, that's up to them.Sometimes if you don't take cash, you don't get the work.

Then we are on the hook for HST?Should have taken the job. As far as I'm aware there is no law against depositing cash, same as a cheque. It'd be up to the government if they want to do the digging.

There is no minimum dollar value on unusual (suspicious) transactions, they all must be reported.There are certain industries that are obligated to report suspicious transactions (read: over $10,000 or more in cash) to FINTRAC for anti-money laundering. If you ask me the list is far too short, car dealers and a whole other slew of industries should be on there. As a side note: the fact that mortgage brokers were only added this October is shocking. Shows you how much fraud there must be in the real estate market.
I had a few customers that insisted on a cash deal but much smaller numbers. I gave them a price that included HST and they went away thinking they beat the government. For liability reasons I ran an invoice showing the HST but the client never got a copy. It's a whole different matter if you are expected to absorb the HST.Then we are on the hook for HST?
Burn the Canadian flag and Canada burns your citizenship papers. Sounds fair to me.
