Subject: RE: BS: Think I'll Go Out to Alberta ....
Well Rapaire, if I'd ever heard of it I might just want it! And if the Heritage Fund is used to protect the ecosystem/endangered wildlife up there in Alaska, please, DON'T give it away! And as for Alberta annexing Idaho, well .... if the good times are all gone and Idaho must move on, we'll look for you if you're ever back this way.   Promise!

Oh and btw, I want to correct my first post above. Ontarians do not pay 7% PST. We pay 8% PST (to the province) + 7% GST (to the feds) for a total of 15% sales tax on most goods and services. Always get those two mixed up! Makes for quite a difference, especially on big-ticket items like furniture, vehicles, musical instruments .... but hey, at least it's not 9%. If memory serves, that's the PST in the Maritime provinces. Maybe gnu will check in here and confirm.

And yesterday, I did not fork out $1.10/litre at the pumps. I forked out $1.06. Oh happy, happy day!    ;-]
