Watch out what you wish for. These were the words a lady used last week in describing her Canadian experience.
She has a small cottage in Canada. She had it re-shingled and also had to get a new furnace this summer. In both cases she was shocked because the bill came in quite a bit higher than the quote. Why? Because Canada, to help pay for all of their social and healthcare programs (most of which don't work too well), has put in a tax called HST at the rate of 13%.
