TORONTO – TIFF Cinematheque is currently running a retrospective of Marco Bellocchio’s decades long film career. Prior to the first screening Pier Giorgio sat with Corriere Canadese to discuss Italy’s past, present and future in the industry.
TORONTO – It seems like only yesterday (January 1997) when Quebec’s Premier, Lucien Bouchard, a founding member of the Bloc Quebecois (also former Cabinet Minister in Brian Mulroney’s government) touched off a storm of intense debate about our National character when he mused that “Canada is not a real country”, therefore threats of impending disunity and other political consequences of discussing Quebec sovereignty were just so much scare-mongering (my words).
TORONTO – Trenta giorni fa è stata introdotta in Canada una sorta di “amnistia” sull’imposta armonizzata sulle vendite (GST/HST, simile all’Iva italiana) che durerà fino al 15 febbraio 2025. Cosa significa? Niente tasse su alimenti e bevande selezionati, abbigliamento selezionato per bambini e letteratura selezionata. Vi confonde? Forse.
TORONTO – Thirty days ago, an amnesty on the harmonized sales tax in Canada was implemented to last until February 15th, 2025. What does this mean. It means no taxes on select food and beverages, select children’s clothing and select literature. Confusing? Perhaps.
TORONTO – Noon isang buwan nagkaron nang pagkakataon na alisin ang pinagsama buwis sa mga iba ibang bagay. Ang buwis na ito sa Kanada ay mananaliti hangang Pebrero 15, 2025. Ibig sabihin walang buwis sa mga iba ibang bagay katulad nang pagkain at inumin, damit at gamit pangbata at ibang kulturang babasahin. Nakakalito? Siguro.
