What's "tax freedom day"?

62? When did our population double? no WONDER my taxes are so high. I'm
supportin' 30 million furreners too.
>(Canadian health cards, by the way, fetch a pretty penny on your side of

Yeah, and because of this, _I_ as a Canadian born citizen had to spend 4
hours of MY time (during business hours, that's 10-3:30 for the gubment,
without restitution) to go and get a new health card IN person because they
didn't believe that I didn't suddenly become a foreigner who was prone to
health-care fraud, so they couldn't mail it out to me. And... since I live
in a small town, the original process was for me to drive to the next
nearest city and wait in a line that is about as the newest ride at the
local amusement park. It was only after I spent an hour on the phone to
various ministries that I managed to set up an appointment on the
once-a-month community outreach program in my little town. The guy treated
me like a criminal when I told him that I thought the process was a waste
of my time and money. It's GREAT to be Canadian!!!
complaining as always.
