no matter how good the economy in canada becomes, people will always be held down by the ing rediculous prices and taxes on EVERYTHING!!!!
gas, cell phones, food, day to day item + 15% tax. it really sux and that is why i have not moved to canada even though i love it there. |

Vegas is nice for shopping but the huge name stores are still so overpriced, like everything out there except ty food/items so when you are there you don't really care hehe
I went in January and there were a lot of nice sells |

in new hampshire there is 0 tax. in massachusetts 5% also no tax on food and clothes.
i bought something at aldo in eaton center the other day and it said $40, after taxes it came to $46, that is borderline communism at its finest.
a gillette fusion razor is $20 after tax in montreal, in the usa its $9. in usa we have no roaming or long distance on cell phones, it is all the same as calling next door. up here my girlfriend has to get a calling card to call newfoundland from montreal. Not to mention the taxes you guys pay on your wages.
yes the usa has many foreign policy problems, but when it comes to stuff here in the usa itself, things are always very nice. i like having a choice for health care and education and keeping my money for me, rather than fund social programs. that is how i have been able to bring all these fine artists to montreal :) |

yeah but their social programs aren't as good.. there's a reason for low taxes. Canada is a much better country to live in if you're a skid :p |
