Your being happy is not a prerequisite for the paying of your taxes. It's just something you, as a privileged member of society, has to do in order to keep from having your throat cut by the proletariat while you sleep.has nothing to do with "hoarding" although who in their right mind is happy having his her zhi zher money taken from them?
Well, if nothing else the non-stop drama might have been entertaining. That was a pretty boring era. But I'm not sure it would have turned out that way. The guy is a proven winner. His players also seem to like him.We would have had non-stop drama, the rebuild would have been kicked down the road while we kept patching to try and be a playoff team. We would still have no Cups and probably also wouldn't have Slafkovsky either. But a certain segment of the fan and media base, the ones with personal agendas that have nothing to do with winning, would be happy.
In short, who gives a shit if Roy leads the Islanders to a wild card? The Isles aren't winning anything this season no matter where they finish.

Fuck the Kings for getting Duboisduped
oh Im sure Zeke has some stat generator that would still tell us we were mentally retardedI still remember getting in arguments with Leafs fans, no longer than last year, about how crazy we were for not trading Suzuki for PLD. Pretty sure that argument has been put to rest now.
I go to more games not because taxes are lower but because the cost of living is lower, which has nothing to do with taxation and everything ti do with living in a city that no one wants to visit as a tourist destination. Unlike Vancouver, Edmonton isn't a destination city. It's a city in which to live and work. Vancouver is a city lots of people visit so the cost of actually living there is higher. Again, nothing to do with taxation.just remember, you are travelling more, going to more events and going to games all the time, way more than when you lived here. Lower taxes has been good for you.

I also go out more here because going places isn't a hassle like it is in Vancouver. Last night I parked in an underground parade across the street from Rogers Place. I went early to have dinner prior to the game so I parked the car around 4pm and booked the spot until 11:30. The cost was $26. Try parking that close to Rogers Arena in Vancouver or Scotiabank in Toronto and see what it costs you.
Additionally, I didn't have to sit in bumper to bumper traffic for an hour to get there and back. I exited the parkade at about 11:20pm and was home by 11:40pm. You can't do that in Vancouver or Toronto. I have season tickets to the Elks and I'm able to find street parking for free. Free parking is practically unheard of in Toronto or Vancouver.
So yes, I go out more but I do that because it isn't a pain in the ass to get from point A to point B. When I lived in BC I had to consider the time of day, where I could park, how much I'd have to pay to park, traffic, etc. before even contemplating whether the event I wanted to see was worth the hassle. Often it was not. Here? I never have to think of that. If I want to go to something I go, secure in the knowledge that getting there and back is not going to be an issue.
Taxation is not a factor AT ALL.
Half our parking costs are tax, the difference in your gas price and mine is tax, your ticket costs 7% less due to tax etc. Taxation levels are a large part of the different cost of living
Look at it this way, if you and I both spend $,50,000.00 in a year on the exact same consumer goods, I pay $-3,500.00 because of of PST which you don't have to pay. On the income you earn to buy those goods, you pay what 5% less in prov income tax. Add another $5,000.00 (assuming $100,000.00 income). You are $8,500.00 ahead of me solely due to taxation. Don't tell me taxation has nothing to do with ability to go out.
Looking into this more. Unless he is very wealthy his income tax is higher in AB. But correct no PST here.And depending on how much he makes he could be paying more income tax than in BC

He lost trust after he quit on c\Colorado. He is a proven winner but very volatile. We are risk averse at the best of times.Well, if nothing else the non-stop drama might have been entertaining.

No other team hired St Patrick weather - Uncle Lou was the perfect & only fit. Roy will do as he’s told..He lost trust after he quit on c\Colorado. He is a proven winner but very volatile. We are risk averse at the best of times.
