"Still, the taxes in canada are a killer. I wouldn't mind so much if the Canadian government were responsible with the dough that we give them every day... but they just seem to squander OUR money."
You'll get no argument from me on that one... It seems you and I agree more than not.
"I do want to let the new guys on the block that there is a world out there ready and waiting to be explored. It may not work out for everybody, but it does seem to be working out well for me and the buds."
I felt the same way when I first arrived in Hongker's in the mid '90's. I was telling everybody how great it was and asking why they weren't over there with me. After a few years, it started to wear me down, after 4 I had had enough.
Good luck to you, Merry Christmas!
