The rates are redone every 12 months by Treasury board and so everyone understands it is based on a common cost of living nationally set by TSB. So they basically compared all the bases, i.e. food, provincial taxs, housing etc and come up with an average. So if it cost more to live in TO they give you more but it is taxable. I am starting to wonder if Canwest mis-understood their source, plus no one else is covering it at all that I can find.Burton, Formerly Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539157151309542216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-59228074677128373872007-11-24T19:35:00.000-05:002007-11-24T19:35:00.000-05:00Kingston, I'd have a hard time believing CanWest m...Kingston, I'd have a hard time believing CanWest made it up, but if they did indeed get it wrong (and I'd hope they did) then they'd certaintly have some explaining to do. I guess one possibility is this was a policy idea that perculated up from the buracracy that either hasn't been implemented or got killed at some point as it worked up the chain of command. Nevertheless, it's odd that DND and the Cons refused to comment on the report, and I think it's incumbent on McKay and DND to either deny, or confirm and explain. Because CanWest wouldn't have made it up, even if it isn't happening anymore it still had to come from somewhere.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-34137790562778517402007-11-24T14:34:00.000-05:002007-11-24T14:34:00.000-05:00Actually BCer, As a CF member I have been checking...Actually BCer, As a CF member I have been checking all internal sources I can and I think this might be bad intelligence my friend. The CF like any other large company has a large unofficial grapevine and there is nothing coming down it about this.Burton, Formerly Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05539157151309542216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-82495994323079511112007-11-23T19:20:00.000-05:002007-11-23T19:20:00.000-05:00So..why do Canadian soldiers overwhelmingly suppor...So..why do Canadian soldiers overwhelmingly support the Conservative party?
