I'd like a $1.06 coin to pay the 6.5% sales tax on all those $.99's.

6.5% tax?
LUCKY BASTARD.

15% tax up here.

What annoys me is the dollar store that has to add on tax to make it more than a buck.

Would it kill them to actually make the price I pay an exact multiple of one dollar, when the whole store is based on that premise?

Instead of simply tossing Loonies and bills around, you have to dig in for the little coins

Bleh.

Actualy... you'd be supprised how many Americans dont think thats a joke.

I spent 3 months in Pennsylvania. The north eastern part of it, so I was near NY state and NJ. And you would be amazed at the amount of people I encountered in that area who viewed canada poorly, hated it, or anything in between. More than liked Canada, thats for sure.

In fact, the people I was with, yes I met them here in Toronto, but they came just for a band that was playing here, even though they hate the place.

My experiences in the US really brought my opinion of the american populace down by many many levels.

Now though, I do find people on the Interenet to be less "I'm from this country, yours sucks." Hence I can survive here happily.

And if I hear one "head flapping Canadian" comment (in reference to South Park's portrayal of canadians) I will take serious offence.
