I mean, people say stuff about Canada that don't apply to us up here in the Yukon (or N.W.T, or Nunavut) because we are Territories and not Provinces (ex: we don't have any sales taxes other than the Goods & Services Sales Tax of 5% that is country wide; BC, the Province directly below us, has BC Provincial Sales Tax of 7%, so 12% total). There's also a holiday or two that "don't count" here or there, and various laws/rules involving housing, fuel, food, and other "regulated" type things.Then again, we are Canada, a "full country" and the United States of America is a "coalition of semi-independent states", so I'm sure that makes for a LOT more differences State-To-State than the Province-To-Province differences up here. I can only imagine the little "Gotcha's!" that go on with something as simple as just driving or vehicle registration/safety.^_^Paul L. Ming</blockquote>
