Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (L) and Finance Minister Bill Morneau walk to the House of Commons to deliver the budget on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, March 22, 2016. (Patrick Doyle/Reuters)You know, the longer Stephen Harper isn’t prime minister, the longer he isn’t prime minister. Every new government cheerfully consigns some of its predecessor’s work to the memory hole; the Trudeau Liberals, persuaded that the work of Harper’s life was to bury their party and its works, have set about returning the favour. Farewell then, Children’s Fitness Tax Credit and Children’s Arts Tax Credit. Bye-bye, cuts to veterans’ benefits. Hello again, Court Challenges Program and Katimavik.

Rewards Canada sends our thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by today’s devastating news from Brussels. News, Tips & Tricks The Platinum Card from American Express will be losing the Le Club accorhotels Platinum status benefit. If you haven’t signed up for this offer yet be sure to do sot by April 15th and you’ll get the status for another year.
