HST Going Back Up
Posted on May 28, 2010 - Filed Under Business, Ranting, This Country | 1 Comment
I wish this government could make up it’s mind, set a sales tax rate and stick with it. The HST here used to be 15%. Then they got generous and dropped the GST portion by 1% so the HST was 14% for a little while. Then they dropped GST again so it [...]

So quick poll here, if you rent a video game or movie and then never return it, is it considered theft? Apparently not according to the RCMP, it’s something to do with civil contract laws and needs to be taken to small claims court. Now if you sell that thing you stole rented [...]

So I read on local news today that the Premier is coming to town but before this newer news – i had read that the MLA for Arglye is accusing the Premier of misleading the Nova Scotians. Wow! very heavy stuff here, so much so that I heard some graduation announcements for [...]

Sooo who out there is really regretting their vote now? This area needs some serious hemorrhoids relief after the pounding we’ve gotten from the NDP government! No ferry for 2010 so tons of jobs will go down the drain. All because they wouldn’t spend a lousy 3 million bucks in subsidies [...]

So i hear 4 different ferries are interested in running for Yarmouth and USA – for the year 2011 – but what about 2010 i asked. Well, the customer/s replied – it’s a lost cause right now – sad. Devastating for some i’m sure and for us – we are going to be [...]

Yes, I said it. And I’ll say it again! Fuck you Dexter. I’m sure I’m not the only one who currently feels this way in regards to the current Premier of Nova Scotia. I had high hopes for the NDP government, who sailed into office on promises of accountability and transparency. [...]

Yesterday I heard the news that the lobster fishermen are on strike because the price is so low. They’re trying to block shipments out of the area in an effort to get better rates. On the one hand I don’t feel sorry for them. Every year they complain, even when they were [...]

Yarmouth is a hard place to escape from. Sure, lots of people leave and move away, but a lot of them end up back here in a few months or years. I’ve known a few who managed to stay away though and they hardly ever visit. Maybe that’s the key, don’t come [...]

If this keeps up I’ll soon have to start riding a bicycle to work, with a wagon to pull Chloe along behind me. $1.34 a litre this week, it’s getting rather crazy, every week the price goes up around 5 cents. To you Americans reading this and whining about your $3.50 a gallon [...]

Posted on January 15, 2008 - Filed Under Ranting, This Country | 2 Comments
One of the biggest pieces of bullshit, in this country at least, is the young offenders act. It protects youths who commit crimes, making it so that their names can’t be released to the public no matter what it is they’ve done wrong. And they know it, the youths I mean, and take [...]

So apparently in Bridgewater, NS, they are trying to ban people from smoking anywhere in the town now. I haven’t seen all the details but I assume it’s only in public places and doesn’t apply to people in their own homes/cars. It’s enough to get the smokers up in arms though although I [...]

For the last few weeks, the Canadian dollar has been worth more than the US dollar. Not by much, only a couple of cents. The problem though is that the cost of our merchandise isn’t changing to reflect that. For me, this is most apparent just by looking at the prices of [...]
