I can't say I know what you are talking aboot. The thing about
healthcare and the taxes is true. We also pay 15% sales tax on most
things in Ontario. Of course, for the taxes we get free healthcare, so
it all evens out, eh? I can't agree with the suburb thingie, because the
roads in Canada for the most part don't loop back on them selves and end
suddenly, as they do in all of the suburbs I've been to.
