@Shwa Girl I will take the money and RUN, but will not give that POS Ford my vote!!
The Premier is very interesting. During COVID, he clapped for health care workers. As COVID was less of a thing, he said they can only get 1% raise, max. But for his Parliamentary Assistants, he wanted to give a whopping raise.Quote:

^^^ some of the MANY reasons I will never choose him as a leader. He talks out of both sides of his mouth and loves a good photo op. lol
I think that this amount is too small to make any significant difference for most people. I'll be using the $200 to pay bills as I suspect that most will be doing.
I like to put any "free not expected money" in my travel account. That way I can get some joy from it.
If I am still alive and cognitive in January that money will be either donated to a local food program/food bank or used to help someone's mutual aid asks on X. The demand is great for both. I do not know if sending money to Ontario Opportunity fund is possible online as I do not have cheques with my account. Provincial debt...
Great discussion thread! 👍Quote:

Canada Post strike paused by federal intervention and CUPW returned to work mostly on Dec.17.
CUPW has filed court challenge for mid-January. Federal and provincial governments seem to be edging towards possible spring elections. If either entity calls an election during winter, then the rebates might not get out.
Anticipating the rebates will go out in early January...so Ontarians can get the money into their area economies.
If anyone in Ontario has not filed their 2023 income tax return by end of December 2024, you might not satisfy eligibility requirements to receive the rebate.
Happy I did a search for possible release of that $200 amount. End of January or early Febuary (in time for Family Day and before end of tax holiday??).

Thanks for updating on receipt of the moolah, @walkonby ! Nothing out here yet.
I found mine in my mailbox today. It was mailed Mon Jan 20 so probably arrived between Wed and Fri.
