Why is the Canadian Taxpayers Federation against automatic Tax Filing? 09.02.2025 5:07
In my mind, taxpayers should be in favor of auto-filing and auto-filing tax forms. Their arguments are weak. The only possible reason I can imagine for the CTF to be against it is if they are protecting the lucrative tax filing industry. The tax filing industry has lobbied hard to make sure governments won't do taxes for people.

What is Functional Medicine? 08.12.2024 13:15
My interpretation of the field. I recently completed the certified functional medicine practitioner program at FMU and thought it would be a good time to share some insights. At its best, it is just doing an extra good job at "normal medicine", ordering extra tests and looking at all of the patients symptoms and trying to address the root cause or causes. The field does seem to attract practitione...
