Yes. As I mentioned earlier, the import and production subsidies are applicable to goods available to all Canadians, while there are tax credit subsidies applicable only to those that live in the north.

I wasn't necessarily disagreeing with you in the first place bud.

I understand the deduction. I am just trying to see if I am enjoying any subsidies not enjoyed by other Canadains regardless where they live.

Well, I would hazard a guess that you are if you do any shopping in stores for food.
Here, wife and I shop at our family's, friends', and neighbors' places for food (pork, beef, dairy stuff, some veggies) or else we simply grow our own (chickens, eggs, most veggies). Admittedly, we do like treats like oranges and bananas, though, so we get them from the store. But we don't really need oranges and bananas.
Theree are quite a few of us around here that skip grocery shopping in town. Better food is the result. And what's really cool is that very little money changes hands in this. :D

8O Who in Nunavutatutamutt eats whole chicken anyways, or parts thereof??

Or pizza

Or potatoes.

They live off the land, what with trouts and muskox and caribooooo, etc.

Whoever heard of making a pizza coat or mukluks. Or a pair of chicken socks??

You should really think about that IMmaturity level being low, therefore.....................??

Therefore take what everyone says with a grain of salt,sound good?
Peeps are way too serious here,like this is going on a resume or something,too funny.You will find it is your resident clique that lowers the maturity level when ever someone doesnt agree with them.

You said 747's, and always fully loaded.

That is a considerable amount of goods.

There's no comprehension issues on our end.

Any 747 flying into the north is allways fully loaded,I guess I should have explained that for the more ignorant here,forgive me because sometimes I take for granted that some folks have some common sense.
I am obviously wrong,
