B.C. health executive fired for refusing COVID-19 vaccine loses EI appeal

Man City stunned again as Feyenoord fight back to draw 3-3 in the Champions LeagueJapan's ruling bloc and an opposition party have agreed to relax the rule on deductions for taxpayers with dependents who earn income, with details to be discussed at their meeting next week, lawmakers said. People with dependents aged 19 to 22 who have a job, such as a parent of a college student with a part-time job, are currently eligible for an income tax deduction if their dependents earn 1.03 million yen ($6,900) or less a year. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party, its junior coalition partner Komeito, and the Democratic Party for the People, which is open to a policy-by-policy linkup with the ruling camp, have been in talks to raise the 1.03 million yen income cap. Expanding the deduction is part of the tax reforms sought by the DPP, a small opposition party willing to cooperate with the ruling coalition, which lost its majority in the powerful House of Representatives in October's general election. The DPP quadrupled its lower house seats in the election with a platform to boost people's disposable incomes. As for other reforms demanded by the DPP, the three parties also continued discussions on raising the income tax exemption threshold from 1.03 million yen for part-time workers, aiming at incentivizing them to work longer hours amid Japan's labor shortage. The DPP wants the nontaxable level to be raised to 1.78 million yen starting next year to reflect rising minimum wages. The ruling camp is considering launching the scheme in 2026 with an unspecified threshold target, citing time needed for the legislative process, according to officials who attended the meeting. LDP tax policy chief Yoichi Miyazawa said that the ruling bloc has yet to reach common ground with the DPP, telling reporters after the talks, "There are difficult technical hurdles that need to be resolved."

Littler, who won the Grand Slam of Darts last week, hit checkouts of 170, 164 and 136 as he threatened to overturn an early deficit, but Humphries held his nerve to win the last three legs. “I’m really, really proud of that one to be honest,” Humphries told Sky Sports. “I didn’t feel myself this week playing-wise, I felt like I was a dart behind in a lot of the scenarios but there’s something that Luke does to you. He really drives me, makes me want to be a better player and I enjoy playing him. “He let me in really early in that first session to go 4-1 up, I never looked back and I’m proud that I didn’t take my foot off the gas. These big games are what I live for. “Luke is a special talent and he was right – I said to him I’ve got to get these (titles) early before he wins them all. “I’d love to be up here and hitting 105 averages like Luke is all the time but he’s a different calibre, he’s probably the best player in the world right now but there’s something about me that never gives up. “This is a great way to go into the worlds.” Littler, who lost the world championship final to Humphries last year, said: “It was tough, missed a few doubles and if you don’t take chances early on, it’s a lot to come back. “I hit the 170 and the 164 but just didn’t have enough in the end. “It’s been a good past two weeks. I just can’t wait to go home, chill out, obviously practice at home for the worlds. That’s it now, leading up to the big one.”
