Part of why Canada sucks

This is a pecker-high fastball if I ever saw one.

It's not even my birthday.

 

Swing away. No hard feelings here.

 

No, really, you can have our insurance companies.

Greedy, inhumane bastards, every damn one of them.

 

Market-driven health care is a wonderful thing.

 

Just an update, because I'm bored.

Just called my friend in customs, again. And he had specific duty rates for me. At the worst, if I get hauled in and have to pay both provincial and federal tax, and duty, too, the total cost would still only be $73.17 CAN, meaning I'd still save $74.83 CAN, or more than half.

Also, I called two manufacturer's stores semi-close by, and both were out of stock and never even offered to order them.

 

Makes me wonder if I can smuggle Dr Pepper to Windsor and make bookoos on the black market.

 

Sorry FB, they sell Dr. Pepper in Windsor, Southern Ontario and border cities.

And they sell that new Dr. Pepper Berries 'n' Cream, too.

And, don't even think of Vernors, we got that, too!

 

BigDog came in his pants this afternoon and had no idea why. Then he visited SportsJournalists.com, saw this thread title and Boom 70 goes the dynamite - again. Jim from American Pie would be proud.

 

That's right, it's AMERICAN Pie, bitches!

 

Yeah, watches that tell Canada time'll run you more. Gotta put more springs in and stuff. Plus, you gotta wrap everything in the watch 'cause it's so darn cold.

 

THERE IS NO PERIOD IN DR PEPPER!!!!!!!!!!!! [/IJAG]

 

Berries & cream in Montreal, too. That's nasty stuff.

Unfortunately, Canadian retailers are still marking stuff up at the rate it used to be when the exchange rate was over 50%. Bastards.

I must admit I never shop at home anymore. Online retailing is a beautiful thing, and I can usually convince those who don't ship outside the U.S. to do it, or I have it sent to someone in the U.S. if they really won't.
