That is a big surprise. It only used to be 6 months up here when my two boys were born in the late '70s and early '80s but I remember when the improvements were brought in.


Golly, dumb Don, Canada wasn't on the tax cheats list. You have an

If you put it that way, 'mericans contribute go our social programs
also. They are the biggest customers for our natural gas, oil, hydro
electricity etc. BTW..wife's father came from Norway during WW2. Would
she be eligible for any of the benefits of Norwegian riches?

Unfortunately, she only gets to live in your crappy house with a lame
husband who befriends American tax cheats on the internet.
