Canada throws support behind Burma inquiry

Published September 8, 2010

Canada has followed the US and several other countries by throwing its support behind calls for a UN inquiry into human rights abuses in Burma.

- I didn't even realise they had teeth.I hope you don't mind me tiankg the easy route by copying and pasting this comment, it is by far the easiest method of getting my message to so many CDP photobloggers.I am not sure that I can sustain South Shields Daily Photo much longer, it is so difficult to keep finding new material on a daily basis,and after more than two years inspiration and motivation are becoming harder to find, so I may become less daily from time to time.I hope you can find new hope and inspiration, and that a new start in 2009 brings everything that you desire.The CDP photoblogging community has grown massively over the past year and I'd like to thank those who have visited South Shields Daily Photo, especially those who have been kind enough to leave a comment or two.Best wishes for 2008fromCurlyat

The thing is you can't just have a tax free country you got to have other ncieitnves to add investments. In the caymans they had a huge tourist industry which most of the locals participated in. Their investment business was even bigger which Caymans being the 5th biggest financial centre in the world. How did they it was provide a platform for all the investement managers, lawyers and accountants necessary to support their hedge funds. And the government never got to hectic with their legistlation and red tape which made business easier. The no tax' on the companies did help a massive amount, but their was other costs to doing business like work permits for your skilled expets and licenses to do business. For an accountant it was $10,000 per year and for having your company domiciled in the caymans you had to pay $120,000 for the business licence. Ireland also had low tax laws which was like 15% one of the lowest in the EU, which attracted a lot of american companies like microsoft and american banks to that region. They have still stayed there even though Ireland are in so much problems at the moment. The real shame is that the government spent more money then they brought in in terms of tax revenue and now they are in real trouble. Its the same with the Cayman Islands where they have a massive deficent and they had to be bailed out by the UK. So in conclusion, I'm all in favour of low tax rate regions, they play an important part to attracting investment, however you got to provide more then low taxes, easy of business needs to be a factor as well. The other thing is that if the country is not getting in massive tax revenues they will have to find another way to fund all the schools, housing projects etc.
