An 11-cent rise and you'd be whining like a whipped pup.

The 11 cent rise will be next weeks headline.

You got the "next week news" package? That musta cost ya!

You have been participating on these boards for ten years of Canadians bitching about taxes and you don’t know if we have income tax , yikes give your head a shake .

Don't spend it all in one place.

So, basically everything you buy is at least "double taxed," enit?

Worse. Even your savings, which is after tax dollars is taxed.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

So what are you bitching about? It's a fact of life.

That’s the part I want to change. Governments need to reign in their spending.

"Rein." As in "rein in a horse." "Reign" means to rule, often arbitrarily and without accountability. Your government does more'n enough of that already.

Don't get him started on how to spell labour.

Not so much spelling as semantics. "Reign" being a word in its own right, would not be a misspelling, but rather a use of the wrong word. As would "rain" in the same place.

You apparently hate the English language as much as you do the French.

You should go work for the people that invented auto correct.

Not a bad idea. Since I actually know the correct words, I could more efficiently impose the incorrect ones.

I would be happy if you could just make it so a sentence is legible after the computer changes half the words.
