<<British Columbia -- highest taxed jurisdiction in North America.>> Bob, I thought that Ontario was higher our provincial tax is 8% with the same 7% for the federal government. The other punitive tax problem as you know that I have been trying to deal with is when Canadians have more than 20% foreign content in their retirement plan, then it is taxed at 1% per month of the excess booked value. I have four RRSP accounts with one of them at 100% Q; however I almost pulled the trigger and sold all the Q in the 4 accounts to avoid the tax for October and to purchase JDS during the last week, which is Canadian content and to follow your model of 80% JDU and 20% Q leaps. Q has been one of my best investments and I really wanted to ride out the next earnings report. It was interesting to read some of discussion of Frank trying to time Q, because I felt I was doing the same for a different reason, taxes.
