Energy companies like Shell posted earnings that broke records in 2022, raising questions about whether excess profits should be taxed and why those companies have shifted how they use their funds.

Canadians now believe they need $1.7 million in savings in order to retire, a 20 per cent increase from 2020, according to a new BMO survey. The eye-watering figure is the largest sum since BMO first started surveying Canadians about their retirement expectations 13 years ago.

With the spring break travel season approaching, those looking to flee the cold, wet Canadian snow for sunnier skies will likely be met with a hefty price tag for their getaway, with inflation and increased demand pushing costs up.When selling a home, Canadians may be exempted from paying capital gains tax on a residential property -- if it's their principal residence.

aren't all oil companies showing record profits? I can only assume that the gas price hikes are just to provide oil companies with gross profits until they determine a way of how to evolve to electric based technologies for vehicles.

Gas engines will be a thing of the past in a couple years anyways. Jokes on them. 👍🏻

13% of the $8 Billion(!) CBC pension fund is in oil, so you'll benefit from the 'shame' - like every pension fund, shareholder and energy fund. Or are you sending the dirty money back; just like you would have done when Shell posted a $20B loss? How's CBC's profits these days?

None of your business.

Yes the Conssertives what you belive it's the Carbon tax

Pay dividends. Build a series of new refineries. Research & Development of battery technology. Pay off political friends. Sponsor auto races. Good business management must be rewarded and recognized for what it is. Poor government management and stewardship must be condemned.

They are keeping weak people who would be bait in an Oil less world, from being bait, in an Oil less world.

Not giving it back to us, that is so disgusting

Because the same profit margins on top of new excessive carbon tax put forth by our government = more profits.

That's where the freedom convoys should set up, not parliament hill.

The openly biased and inflammatory tone of CTV these days is chilling considering you're just an arm of the Liberal government paid to shill for Justin Trudeau's agenda. It's nauseating.

What did news use theirs for during covid

How about their growth in wealth is helping to fund many people’s retirement plan. Not to mention employing 10’s of thousands

Awrsome news for those with RRSPs RESPs, and pensions invested in the stocks. A happy day day for us!

And how many of the people that complain about this will line up like sheep for a phone built in China by abused and underpaid staff.

Is the. huge amount of taxes Shell paid also obscene? What about the staggering amount of dividends they paid to pension plans and mom and pop investors? What about the billions of people who live much better lives because of Shell’s efforts? Also obscene?

It's gone beyond obscene already but there's nothing any of us can do about it.

For paying the owners, the shareholders!!

1. It's none of your business. 2. Earning profits is the point. They are doing what they are supposed to be doing for the company, it's employees, and its shareholders. Good job Shell.

What could oil companies be spending THEIR money on? How about asking what the liberal government is spending OUR money on. Just a thought.

Gotta pay Pilkey77. That’s what.

What is CTV execs using the Trudeau free money for?
