So . . . you can pay for your health care (and other benefits) a little
bit at a time (in GST) or (as in the USA) you can pay for it in
insurance premiums, co-pays, etc. running to many thousands of dollars a
year (perhaps even thousands a month: we're paying well over $1000 a
month, and I don't doubt that some people are paying even more).

the ever-growing pot of cybersoup:

Yeah, its a General Sales Tax of 7% that all Canadians are screwed with and
applies to pretty much everything we buy....on top of a myriad of other
taxes, which makes us one of the most heavily taxed countries in the
world....(
So if we initially pay something for a product, then we pay a Provincial tax
of 8% on it, then the GST is applied to both the original item AND the PST,
so we are taxed on tax. Monitoring however, doesn't require PST.
