I like canada

Can I be an honourary Canadian?

Sure, all you need to do is pay twice the tax you do now, become addicted to Tim Horton's coffee, eat poutine whenever it's available, and watch the 72 summit series as often as you can (it makes the 1980 U.S./U.S.S.R. Olympic playoff look like a schoolyard scrap).

OK, but I live in the UK and we already pay 20% income tax at basic rate, plus 12.5% national insurance, 15% VAT, 120% on tobacco, 110% on alcohol...

I dunno if I can afford any more tax.

Oh, and 105% on petrol

Wow, our VAT, it's called GST here is down to 5% hoeever the PST (provincial sales tax) varies from province to province. Tobacco tax is over 900% thouth.

um...
