There is a band below which people in Canada don't pay income tax - I can't recall precisely but $8-9K rings a bell. I'd also say that some occupations definitely pay more in Canada, relatively...

Re: Power tools

Yes, not a fan of Canadian TV (and I'm Canadian), figure we'd set the TV up for internet reception (not cable or satelite). A friend has recently done this and works great for her - I can get the...
