Good find! They also have multiple shirt, sweatshirts and a mug.

Haha for sure!
Curious, what would be the use case for multiple libraries? Would it be to have different music for different users?
Yeah it’s definitely an apples to oranges comparison, especially since the CRA does tax (federal and provincial/territorial) as well as benefits, while all the others are just federal tax. And agreed the IRS is way underfunded and understaffed.
I went on a bit of a deep dive and looked at the CRAs report cards and departmental plans. Lots of neat information there for 2022-23 fiscal year (not sure why that was in a plan for next year, but interesting stats nonetheless)
There was also a tidbit about tax cheats specifically, and $14.3B coming from that alone, which is $1.2B more brought in, than they spent. Not bad.
As a result, the CRA has increased its ability to identify and target aggressive tax planning, and increased the volume of its gross audit reassessments. A total of 62,660 audits, excluding all other compliance interventions were completed in 2022–23 which had a fiscal impact of $14.3 billion.
Well said. I will just add that the major distinction as someone else pointed out is that the CRA handles all the taxes for provinces, not just federal, and also administers benefits, which make up a large portion of its funding and staff.
I was curious and looked up their report card for last year CRA 2022-23 departmental results, and I’m not sure where this article got some of its information, but it’s quite a bit off, and doesn’t mention published info (at least not in the non-paywalled section).
There is a good table that shows money spent and employees, as well as explanations for the major increase for last fiscal and the major upcoming decreases. TL;DR: major new benefits and changes require employees.
The increase in actual FTEs in 2022–23 is largely attributable to the administration of measures announced in the 2021 and 2022 federal budgets and economic statements as well as those associated with addressing the post-pandemic sustainability of CRA contact centres and the administration of the one-time top-up to the Canada Housing Benefit and the interim Canada Dental Benefit. Over the planning period, the reduction in FTEs from 50,195 in 2023–24 to 47,631 in 2024–25, is primarily as a result of a decrease or sunsetting of funding to implement and administer various measures announced in the federal budgets and economic statements as well as those associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
To your last point on comparing the CRA to other taxation authorities, some months ago I went down a rabbit hole and I found something like this on the OECD website, but can’t seem to find it now, so I will just link the main page. It wasn’t a comparison between tax administrations per se, but it was a short summary of each country’s stats, how much money they bring in, spend, where they fit globally, employee counts, etc. You could then compare to others yourself. Very informative, and according to those stats, CRA was near the top IIRC.
Excellent project, I’ve been using it for years and it just works. One of these days I’ll get around to cleaning up my music library to be able to use Navidrome more frequently.
Nice! Any tips on proportions or do you just wing it till the consistency seems ok?
Cashew cream drizzle? Sounds tasty. Is this something store bought or homemade?
Will do for sure! Going to work on it sometime in May.
Oh wow this is excellent, thank you so much for taking the time to do such a detailed write up! Much appreciated. Going to get everything together this weekend and tackle it over the next few days. Thank you!!
Oh good idea, I never considered that because of how thing the veneer/film is. Would standard wood glue do the trick you think?
I’ve never used an oil based primer, only the bullseye / shellac stuff. Not sure if it’s the same, but seems to seal well.
Nice thanks all, glad that my initial thoughts on repair seem to be on the right track. The cabinets are original and are over 35 years old at this point, so not the worst shape all things considered!
Ah that’s a good tip. I’ll take a look if it’s available locally, it’s like that bondo stuff so probably. I think the wood filler I have is also outdoor grade, and would be covered by sealer/primer. Best to start with a solid layer first though!
The venner is super thin, it’s that film stuff is n top of particle board so I don’t think the touch up marker would work. This one is the worst, the other two are super minor and I’m probably the only one that notices it.
Ngl I love the smell of a freshly opened package of PLA.
Yeah it exported for me into the folder and file format I specified. Tile was expectedly large and there was a thumbnail preview, but when I tried to open it, the two image viewers I tried gave the same error message. I’ll try it again at some point for sure though.
Cool idea!
I was going to mention a few games to check out but they were all already mentioned, so I will suggest the one that wasn’t brought up, Star Crusader. Space combat game with a great story, fun game play, high replay value, and great voice acting for a game from 1994. And the ending blew my mind, still remember the moment and my shock to this day. I have my original CD and the jacket in a memorabilia box haha, one of only a handful of things I kept from those days.
