Julie: we don't pay sales tax on groceries, only the non-food items. Although if yuou buy doritos or other "snack foods" you really aren't paying taxes on actual food either

Max: You are the exception. Virtually every Canadian (Canadien?) I've dealt with asks me to lie on the customs slip when shipping into Canada. I refuse, of course.

Healthcare: I've alway thought of our friends to the North as the ones with medical care and no guns. Thank heavens we have the freedom here to own guns and avoid dirty socialist medicine! Now, if only that pain in my lower right abdomen would subside...Maybe when the fever dies down and I stop puking...My HMO recommended tylenol, so I guess I'll be ok, though it wasn't polite of the $5 an hour clerk who took my call seeking permission for an ER visit to laugh like that...Maybe I'll shoot the bastard next time...
