Arrrrrrrrggghhhh!

They say nothing is certain but death and taxes, but they've go it the wrong way around. Taxes always come first. They might kill you, but they're inescapable.

Got a notice the other day that my property taxes are going up - 60 freakin' percent!!!!

We need a Tea Party, but what are we going to call it? We don't have an equivalent to the Boston Tea Party.

I've been thinking that we might be able to borrow a word from Newfie-Speak and call it a Schreech Party. That's more in line with Canadian sensibilities, I think. Beats sitting around drinking tea, with our pinkies sticking out. Could be a lot of fun. And unlike the tea, the stuff won't be wasted.

60%?! What are you going to do about that? Get some like-minded fellow tax victims and raise holy hell!!!

This has come about as a result of a reassessment of property values across the entire province thanks to the economic boom were experiencing. There's always a downside to everything, I guess.

Now, if the local liquor store doesn't sell Screech, I don't know what I'll do. Maybe rum. Hmmmmmmm.
