One good thing?

I have been sitting here in the frozen waste land of Wisconsin, trying to think of one good thing that comes out of Canada. All I ever hear about is a Cold front of arctic air pushing down out of Canada! Keep ur dam cold air at home!

How about Canadian coins? Their coin designers put the U S mint to shame many times over through the years! I started to collect Canadian coins over 40 yrs ago.

Actually, once you get used to it, the coins are a pretty good idea.... And once you get a good magnet, you find that the one and two dollar coins are attracted to that magnet.. On my best day, I went to a lake and pulled out over $200.00 . In the end, they are less expensive for the mint to make as well..... considering the actual life of the coin. I am actually looking forward to the day we make a $5.00 coin

I will admit the name could use a facelift

As to the GST... or as we call it.. the Gouge and Screw Tax. You could not possibly hate it as much as we do. When it was first introduced, the only people who benefited from it was the Americans... all us Canucks with a reasonable distance to the border, bolted south and bought there.

In the end, many are still heading south to purchase items.. I live a bit too far from the 49th... so I purchase from Amazon or fleabay.

But, what is the sales tax where you live.... And do you have tax on food.... the GST does not apply to food, medicines and medical ... Not defending it... just have to take it in context
