Ontario Northland isn't too bad and most of the hydro companies other than Ontario Hydro, are not bad either. There is alot of things over in Canada that run good or good enough by the government. In Ontario, liquor is distributed by the LCBO-Liquor Control Board of Ontario-so youths can't get easy access to alchol. We pay alot of taxes but it is worth it. You may pay alot of taxes in your life but heart surgury, children's education from Kindergarden to Grade 12, certain medicines are free. If it works for Canada who has a smaller population and less GDP than the U.S, why wouldn't work for a more wealthy country like the U.S? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I always assumed that the heavy tax burden "enjoyed" by canadian citizens was elemental to the horrendous exchange rate between US and canadian dollars? What is a canadian dollar worth in us currency these days? Then you pay something like 15% sales tax on most things purchased? <br /> <br />If that is the cost of progress, I'm happy to be a knuckle dragger...
