Since it was my thread to begin with, I'm going to go off topic here.

How come is it that with no sales tax. Alberta still zeroed the deficit and ended up with a SURPLUS?

I'm sure glad we didn't have a provincial sales tax. Hell, if we did, we'd probably still be in a deficit situation.

Just got the FedEx bill yesterday for duty, GST and brokerage. Came to a total of $173.00 Cdn.

Xviper,

Can you provide a breakdown for the $173? I am thinking of buying some winters from Tirerack.

Thanks!
