oh please......if you are so cheap you wont go somewhere if you cant
get your tax dollars back or if the dollar is weaker against their
currency, stay home....our dollar is going to continue to go down until
we start acting a little bit more like canada and keeping our noses out
of costly, winless wars.....soon the whole world will be stronger than
our dollar, but by then we will all be speaking chinese anyways since
they will own us in just about every way.....
canada still has so many reasons to come up for a visit......their lax
stance on possesion of marijuana will bring in as many tourists as this
tax refund will keep away....I for one will be crossing the border in
early may to open up the cottage and then returning at least 4 or 5
times......we will have people going up and staying much of next summer
for the first time in 15 years.....a hot tub and new sun room may be
the cause......
