The 2019 Federal Budget, 464 pages long, contains one
significant change to SRED rules. The erosion of the annual expenditure limit
on account of the previous year’s taxable income exceeding $500k will cease.
The change applies to taxation years ending now and later.

St. Patrick's Day
I just realized a few minutes ago that it is March17th today. I love Ireland. To me there are two parts to Ireland: Dublin and Not-Dublin. I prefer Not-Dublin. The pedestrians in Dublin power walk everywhere...they make me feel old and slow...lol. Irish music makes me homesick, even if I'm not Irish.

I noticed that late last year (yes, I don’t always pick up
on things right away), Olaf Scholz, German Finance Minister suggested that
France give its UN Security Council seat to the EU…..a suggestion at which
France quickly hooted. https://www.ft.com/content/84fb634a-f326-11e8-9623-d7f9881e729f
The French response underlines what I have written here
before: Europeans are nationals of their own nations. They typically do not see
themselves foremost as European. It would be very hard to find anyone willing
to die for the EU so far as I can tell, but I expect many Frenchmen would be
willing to die for France and man Germans for Germany. The EU is too artificial
of a construct to have much traction with people’s loyalties, and for that
reason, I expect it is doomed.
