Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 LOL I had the same experience today dealing with Revenue Canada on behalf of a client. I had talked to one agent earlier last week about this fella's Corporate Tax and she was giving me another 45 days to complete everything. Then I spoke to a different agent; but, same office last week regarding his GST. Then I get another call from an agent in a different location again about his GST. In the meantime, he (the client) threw a kink into the whole thing by calling them himself. So, I called the first lady back and had to tell her the whole conversation we'd already had last week and this just confused her to no end!!!! I hate dealing with government employees!!!!!!! ________________________________ Hello everyone..I haven't been on here much lately..I think I told you all my endoscope was good, with several small varices, but not large enough for banding...my MRI said I was to call 3 days after to get results, but I haven't called them yet..I kind of figured if there was anything found my doc. would eventually call...since he has not I'm assuming the results were good...tonite when checking my mail I had three letters from social security administration. ..the first two I opened were from there center in land stating I was being enrolled by them in a prescription drug plan chosen by them and would receive generic scripts for $2:10 each and brand names for $3:10, because of my income level...sounds really good, I thought...the 3rd letter was from social security in Kansas City stating I made to much to receive prescription medicine help! figure that one out..guess I will take the letters to local office to decipher..I hope you are all doing as well as possible...have any of you all had letters like these? Kind of like the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. I'm hoping the difference will be Medicaid not helping with scripts, and Medicare helping, but since all are from SSA who know's.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 LOL Doesn't matter what government or what section of the government they work for either. I used to work for the Provincial Government when I was very young and at the end, I was working for our Medical Services Plan. Lawd, the absolute worst place to be if you've got any intelligence whatsoever. I quit that job and took a big pay dive, just so that I could go home at night, feeling better about myself. I believe that when a person applies for a job with the Canadian government that your position will be delegated to you according to your intelligence level. If you've got a little bit, they'll maybe give you a position behind the scenes in the technology section. If you can just pass the intelligence test, lo and behold you can get a job at Revenue Canada. However, if you fail the test altogether, never fear - they'll give you a job in the GST section. The best one that I had to deal with to this day, was a sub-species of the Immigration Board. Their phone system was certainly not designed for use by anyone that didn't have a commanding level of intelligence and spoke English clearly. When I was finally able to speak to a real person, the first thing I said was " I'm so glad that I was born in this country to get through that garbage " . The whole reason for my call was that a client who had been receiving Canada Pension was turning 65 and due to apply for the Old Age benefit. However, they'd decided to change some rule and she was supposed to prove the plane that she flew to get here from Spain, actually landed in Montreal and that she had a paper to prove that!!! I said, good lawd, she's been getting CPP for almost 5 years, of course she must have landed. But, nope, I had to send for another stupid document to prove that... She had kept every passport that she'd ever had, even the Spanish one that she had when she emigrated here. The only paper she'd probably ever mislaid was the stupid Landing Document. So, another $35.00 and 4 months later, we had the document to prove that the plane did indeed land!!!! I might understand all of that, if I thought for a moment that one of our numerous boat people were trying to apply; but, they don't have to - once you actually come ashore, the Canadians will give you Welfare and cover your medical until you can get on your feet!!! This lady, her husband and four living children could all prove without a shadow of doubt how hard they worked in Canada and for how many years, just by checking their CPP.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 It really is not that different to be Canadian than American then, is it?! Certainly not from the beauracratic standpoint anyway!!!! I've never worked for the government, but heaven's to betsy, I've dealt with a bazillion that do! You're right, the higher they go, the less intelligence OR common sense they have!!!!!  Warm Hugs...........  Di http://auntdisexperimentallife.blogspot.com/ ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Monday, August 31, 2009 11:28:59 PM Subject: Re: (unknown)  LOL Doesn't matter what government or what section of the government they work for either. I used to work for the Provincial Government when I was very young and at the end, I was working for our Medical Services Plan. Lawd, the absolute worst place to be if you've got any intelligence whatsoever. I quit that job and took a big pay dive, just so that I could go home at night, feeling better about myself. I believe that when a person applies for a job with the Canadian government that your position will be delegated to you according to your intelligence level. If you've got a little bit, they'll maybe give you a position behind the scenes in the technology section. If you can just pass the intelligence test, lo and behold you can get a job at Revenue Canada. However, if you fail the test altogether, never fear - they'll give you a job in the GST section. The best one that I had to deal with to this day, was a sub-species of the Immigration Board. Their phone system was certainly not designed for use by anyone that didn't have a commanding level of intelligence and spoke English clearly. When I was finally able to speak to a real person, the first thing I said was " I'm so glad that I was born in this country to get through that garbage " . The whole reason for my call was that a client who had been receiving Canada Pension was turning 65 and due to apply for the Old Age benefit. However, they'd decided to change some rule and she was supposed to prove the plane that she flew to get here from Spain, actually landed in Montreal and that she had a paper to prove that!!! I said, good lawd, she's been getting CPP for almost 5 years, of course she must have landed. But, nope, I had to send for another stupid document to prove that... She had kept every passport that she'd ever had, even the Spanish one that she had when she emigrated here. The only paper she'd probably ever mislaid was the stupid Landing Document. So, another $35.00 and 4 months later, we had the document to prove that the plane did indeed land!!!! I might understand all of that, if I thought for a moment that one of our numerous boat people were trying to apply; but, they don't have to - once you actually come ashore, the Canadians will give you Welfare and cover your medical until you can get on your feet!!! This lady, her husband and four living children could all prove without a shadow of doubt how hard they worked in Canada and for how many years, just by checking their CPP. Thus, it seemed so bureaucratic to have to go through all of that. Gloria ____________ _________ _________ __ Seems they don't change much no matter what government they're employed by, huh?!

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Gloria, I understand you are fustrated with your health care system. But I'm sorry, the term " Boat People " I find a bit offensive. If you want to to talk about Cirrhosis and liver disease as it relates to health care cool. But to disparage people with terms like " boat people " is unacceptable in this group and forum. This group is for advice and love and compassion. A place to share our stories and gripes without offense. This group is for support not ridicule. Its for helping others by sharing information not defaming. I wish I could have helped with your post but you didn't specify a specific problem but generalized the problems with your health care.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 DAVE, ARE YOU IN PUBLIC RELATIONS? YOU'RE DAMN GOOD! KUDOS! ________________________________ To: livercirrhosissupport Sent: Friday, September 4, 2009 8:01:41 AM Subject: (unknown)  Gloria, I was not personally offended about your remark, and realize that is a common term used in many countries attributed to immigrants that arrive in our countries, and many others, by any means possible.... In their case often unsafe, overloaded boats...I do understand how some may be offended...just so happens most early immigrants arrived in just such a way...apparently some are offended by the term, as is their right...I have found your entries here to be very compassionate and caring...is the topic of immigrants related to health care? Very much so...so it must be the term found non-appropriate, and hopefully not the effect that immigration has on the health system..my reason for joining this group is to find a release, a better understanding, etc. from those suffering with liver disease...much of the release for me involves writing what is happening with myself, listening to others telling their own circumstance, and very importantly and paramount, comradery ...as one who is often offended easily, and often wrong in perceived hurts, I must be vigilant in watching for justified and unjustified wrongs...if I do that, 90 plus % are unjustified. ..peace  Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Well Mac - it seems that you are hell bent on finding fault with anything I say, thus, don't worry your head about it any longer. I'll just unsuscribe !!! My whole message had nothing whatsoever to do with " Boat People " or your opinion that I am defaming any sect, domination, colour or creed. That is absolutely not who I am!!! I am so Canadian that the beliefs or the colour of one's skin just does not make a hill of beans. My reference to " Boat People " wouldn't be much different than the news we hear constantly about the numbers of your illegal aliens. A great deal of those Boat People went on to become excellent citizens of this country!! How do you think you could possibly help me with my post on anything to do with the Canadian Health Care?? So, as soon as I finish reading the other posts - I'll un-subscribe. ________________________________ Gloria, I understand you are fustrated with your health care system.
