Jean - Re: "If you had to live in this northern "paradise", where taxes consume 53% of your income, maybe you would buy too a K63 dawg, as you could not afford anything else <g>. ..if that was not enough, the canadian currency is on a 25-year swandive, where it was fetching .95 to 1.05 Cdn to US, and now, due to misguided socialist politicians (much, much worse than clintonites), it is trading at .68 c to the USD."

Geez...sorry about all that - I guess I haven't kept up with the business situation in Canada.

I hate to say it, but the cure for socialism is....about 20 years of socialism.

By the way - on several trips to Canada - both business and vacation - I have had great times and found Canada to be a great place...to visit.

Please, please, please,

don't get Dr. Engel started on politics, especially the Clintonian variety. We already have enough trouble just dealing with techs. : )

Jean,
If you had to live in this northern "paradise", where taxes consume 53%
of your income, maybe you would buy too a K63 dawg, as you could
not afford anything else <g>"....

That's about what I pay down here in the lower 48. They just extract it in a different way...
