RE: Is this true(my american friends)
I pay 5% taxes on pretty much everything that isn't food.

I also paid $0 to have 2 kids. That's the most fucked up thing out of all this

We paid $0 to have our kid in the US of A, but that's because my wife's a nurse and in the healthcare workers union. Still she only got 12 weeks maternity, though she added 3 weeks vacation to the end of that to make it almost 4 months.

RE: Is this true(my american friends)
we are taxed a lot more as far as the "luxury" items goes. Booze/smokes/etc is more here. 26oz of booze $25-30 i would say. a 24 of beer is $30-40. when I buy cigs for mah weeed i ask for the cheapest pack and its like $6.50. Most people who smoke would never touch these. For a "good" pack of smokes is about $10 a pack. You COULD get native smokes (since they don't get taxed) but its usually filled with twigs and shit.

Our tax that we put on all of our goods is 13%. Minimum wage in Ontario is like $10.00/hr. It might be $10.25/hr. $8/hr for servers/bartenders/etc.

No. I live in Alberta. We only have 5% tax. Unlike the other provinces who fuck it shit up for Canada. We provide the country more in jobs and jobs in and incoming $$$$ than all the other provinces combined. Sucks for the rest of the country. Alberta is by far the best province to live in.

Of course I have a job. I wouldn't be having kids if both my wife and I didn't have careers

I highly doubt that dude. I know 2 families that did not like it out there and moved away from there. 1 being from there and 1 moved there years ago. I know lots of people who are there right now and complain about that shit all day long.
PLUS Alberta is where harper is from and home to countless conservative asshats.. :D
