I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

This is an amazingly ignorant quote. There's not many ex-colonies out there where the masses regard Britain badly because of the empire. Britain tends to have pretty good relations with most commonwealth countries.

Yeah I was like...um the Bahamas and Jamaica and company actually have great relations with Britain.

And almost all of the money they take in via taxes goes to organized crime.

If Quebec secedes, I rather doubt they'll be buying much of anything.

They might wind up like the Newfies. Go broke and have Canada buy them back.  :P

Actually, Ontario is the most corrupt province in Canada, according to the RCMP.  Strangely enough, no Canadian media is reporting this on their frontpage... must be a minor oversight.

50% for now, 75% soon.

Holy crap.
50% of it is taxable, soon, 75% of it will be taxable.
Tax rates:

Two new tax levels will be added, possibly retroactively to January 1st: 28% for 130 000$ - 250 000$ and then 32% for all above.

+ the Federal part:

GST+PST = 14,975%, 15% by 2014, but we expect the PQ to raise the taxes one more point to compensante for their spending spree and the destruction of our economy.

+ various wage taxes we have to pay: unemployment insurance, public pension funds (RRQ for Quebec), parental leave insurance, health tax (employer only), work accident insurance (employer only) and non unionized workers tax (employer only).

Quebec also does their provincial tax weird. They tax it on top of the GST (federal tax). so Most civilized province taxed (PST+GST) X Cost, but Quebec does it ((GSTXCost)+cost) X PST.

Trying every little trick to get more cash :lol:
