          So you're still like 98th percentile on that floor, right?

              Probably approximately right.

                    Just gave my notice at work today, last day will be July 6th.

                    Movers come July 19th, I'll be flying out that day also.

                    Ball is rolling, *****es.

                    I get to mostly avoid the new HST also.

                          They jacked my gasoline bill, electricity bill, condo fees, and gym membership all by 8% starting next months (they were previously exempt from the 8% provincial tax, but in rolling it together with the GST the PST exemptions no longer apply...now they apply to most things previously exempt)

                          **** you, Ontario!

                          Sales tax in Alberta: 5% (all federal, can't avoid it)
                          Sales tax in Ontario: 13% (5% federal + 8% provincial = 13% HST)



                          Everything is permanently 8% off in Alberta compared to what I'm used to.

                            Car insurance is also going up like 12% on average in Toronto this summer or something. It's already ****ing crazy overpriced.

                            My insurance in Alberta's about a third of what it is out here.

                            This is a disgusting, vile place and I urge everyone to stay far, far away.

                              Bah.

                              Toronto is fine to visit. Wouldn't want to live there, though.

                              Congrats

                                I continue to wonder why you are in favour of having the lowest taxes possible while the Government of Alberta blows the returns from nonrenewable resources on roads, hospitals, etc. for transient labour.
