tomorrow the good people of british columbia get a new premier. i'm so happy i could shit.
our current premier was forced to quit due to a new tax called the harmonized sales tax. everything we do or buy is taxed at 12% because of the new tax. previously we had a provincial sales tax of 7% and a federal goods and services tax of 5%. the goods and services tax covered almost everything except for food. the provincial sales tax was basically for goods, not services. by combining the 2 taxes, services that were previously not taxed at the provincial level are now taxed.
we have government health care but they tax the shit out of us to pay for it. some provinces charge for the free health care and others do not. i'm lucky enough to live in a province that charges for the free health care. my employer pays the charge for me but the government considers my employer's payment of the health charge to be a taxable benefit and i'm taxed on that. so much for free health care.
so the right wing party is selecting a new leader who will become the premier of our province. the left wing party is also soon going to be selecting a new leader. when the current right wing government introduced the new tax they fell like a rock in the public opinion polls and the left wing party had a big lead. this resulted in in the left wing party self destructing because suddenly they had the opportunity to win the election and the back stabbing began. the lefties all wanted to be king so in a month or so they will select a new leader and sometime after that we'll probably have an election to make it all official.
i'm at a loss to decide which party i dislike more. when the big vote comes i won't vote for either major party. i'm fringe all the way. it'll either be the green party or the marijuana party that gets my vote and it'll have nothing to do with the party. i'll vote for which ever person annoys me the least.
on a more positive note, i bought 12 pounds of hershey's heart shaped valentine chocolates today. i meant what i said about giving up ju jubes!
i'm sweet on all you sons of bitches.

Thank you for not taxing me for reading your blog. And I'd go with that marijuana party. I'll bet they dislike taxes as much as I do. ;)

Do I detect sarcasm?
You can afford 12 pounds of chocolate after taxes?
Twelve pounds of chocolate hearts? I assume you eat a lot of chocolate and after Valentnes it's half price? I don't eat that much candy of any kind in a year, and I love candy!
I'd vote for the Beaver and Lumberjack Party. There ought to be a party with a name like that in Canada.
Looks like that "free" health care ain't so free after all...nothing is. When government says they are going to give you something, it's usually what they extracted from someone else.
Freedom Party is the way to go.
jayne - this is a tax-free, ad-free zone. (for now)
billy - the chocolate was regular $1.50 per 100 grams on sale for $.34 per 100 grams. my only mistake was not buying more.
charlene - you're not eating your share! some poor kid has to eat an extra 5 pounds of candy to compensate for your moderation.
gb - are they still broadcasting monty python in the congo?
ted - how much does it cost to join the freedom party?
ted - how much does it cost to join the freedom party?
Whatever it costs you to get fifty fucking miles away from everyone else.
only the poor people pay taxes in the USA...feck..
ohhh chocolate.....
billy - i can make money picking up cans as i get 50 miles away.
yellowdog - in honor of the goddess i'm having a chocolate heart as i type this. shit, i should have bought more, this stuff is excellent. oh well, easter is just around the corner.
Special: Free shipping on chocolate to my address.
Wow. That's a lot of chocolate.
The green party in the US is the new version of the Nazi Party.
During the last election, they ran for President a woman whose campaign blamed "the Jews" for all her troubles.
nance - does that include international shipping?
secret - but it's going down fast.
anon - let me guess, she has a jewish stockbroker who sold her sub prime mortgage bonds.
