If not available through your ISP, maybe try "Google", then click on
"Groups" and then type in "rec.can.boating"

Also I have identified a newsgroup called can.rec.boating which may be
helpful to me but this is the first time I have ever tried to work with
newsgroups and my news server does not find this. Any ideas (in layman's
terms) how I might be able to connect to this group?

Coincidence ... just attended a workshop ... to make a point (the point was
do your research), the instructor used a pic of a new arrival in Halifax ...
surprise to him ... GST (7%) was required on his $2 million boat. In general
....

"Who pays GST/HST? Almost everyone has to pay GST at 7% or HST (bowgus note:
hamonized sales tax is provincial plus gst) at 15% on taxable goods and
services. The only groups or organizations that do not always pay GST or HST
on their taxable purchases are provincial and territorial governments, and
Indians."

OT: Oh yeah ... when I retire in 2-3 years our destination is currently a
toss up between the west coast and Australia. We're currently in Ottawa
which imo opinion is a great place to raise a family but geez ... I've done
my time playin in the frikken snow :-)
