Its funny how perceived normality can cloud raw intelligence sometimes. This reminds me of something I heard last year on the Colbert Report. "If BP sold fuel at $10 a gallon and 7-Eleven sold it for $8 a gallon, would you say your getting a damn good deal at 7-Eleven? You would be a moron if you did".

What makes me think that Kartessa doesn't pay sales taxes in Canada, well she told me. Now I know you have internet searches that show the tax rates for various providences and 4 months of cultural immersion you had there ten years ago but I'm still going to go with Kartessa on this one. I mean Kartessa is a Canadian citizen who's lived there for 24+ years and she told me under Canadian social services if you don't make a certain amount of money you get reimbursed the sales tax you pay by the government. Now see in the quote you responded to I was talking directly to Kartessa and Kartessa does not pay sales tax in Canada. You mean the GST rebate? I remember getting it back when I was younger (and poorer) and it was something like $60....for the entire year. Sure, it's better than a sharp stick in the eye but, it's a far cry from not paying sales tax.
My GST rebates were in the $300 range every 3 months, HST is garbage at $135, but I was talkin to Chad about INCOME tax...

Should I mention my Mother is from Canada I'm moving out of the U.S, to see my family there.
But I don't speak French, but all the free health care, and cafe's and the canadian dollar is better.
They have all those good sweets, and McGill University might be an option. Especially since you said there's no recession in Canada. I only have climbed in Squamish but have heard great things about the Bugaboos.

I got the $300 checks too, I don't know anyone rich enough that they couldn't get them....but that's a one time thing and just a way that Harper was trying to placate people about the HST.
Neither of these things mean that you don't pay taxes.

Yes of course, I know Squamish is the west and there's provinces and I've been to Toronto, and my family lives in Quebec on the East Coast of Canada.
Now getting back to the the topic - Climbing in Recession how's the prices for camping, climbing gear, and road trips for climbers in Canada versus the U.S in 2011? I met alot of climbers who were working as tree planters,logging, and drilling professions,
Thanks

If you were going to try to travel in Canada on the super cheap you'd want to find areas that have crown land to camp on which are few and far between.

J/K I don't know what makes you think there is no sales tax in Canada, and yes, I understand Kartessa lives in the great white north, eh.

For your reference, edification, and dare I say, your reading comprehension 2012 training regimen... http://en.wikipedia.org/...ales_taxes_in_Canada and from the MEC website... Taxes If an order is shipped to the following provinces or territories, MEC must collect the applicable taxes as described: * British Columbia (BC) 12% HST on merchandise and freight * Alberta (AB) 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Saskatchewan (SK) 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Manitoba (MB) 7% PST on merchandise plus 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Ontario (ON) 13% HST on merchandise and freight * Quebec (QC) 8.5% PST on the total of the merchandise and freight plus 5% GST on merchandise and freight * New Brunswick (NB) 13% HST on merchandise and freight * Nova Scotia (NS) 15% HST on merchandise and freight * Prince Edward Island (PE) 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Newfoundland (NL) 13% HST on merchandise and freight * Northwest Territories (NT) 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Yukon (YT) 5% GST on merchandise and freight * Nunavut (NU) 5% GST on merchandise and freight Again you didn't win the reading comprehension game. What makes me think that Kartessa doesn't pay sales taxes in Canada, well she told me. Now I know you have internet searches that show the tax rates for various providences and 4 months of cultural immersion you had there ten years ago but I'm still going to go with Kartessa on this one. I mean Kartessa is a Canadian citizen who's lived there for 24+ years and she told me under Canadian social services if you don't make a certain amount of money you get reimbursed the sales tax you pay by the government. Now see in the quote you responded to I was talking directly to Kartessa and Kartessa does not pay sales tax in Canada. You mean the GST rebate? I remember getting it back when I was younger (and poorer) and it was something like $60....for the entire year. Sure, it's better than a sharp stick in the eye but, it's a far cry from not paying sales tax. My GST rebates were in the $300 range every 3 months, HST is garbage at $135, but I was talkin to Chad about INCOME tax... Should I mention my Mother is from Canada I'm moving out of the U.S, to see my family there. But I don't speak French, but all the free health care, and cafe's and the canadian dollar is better. They have all those good sweets, and McGill University might be an option. Especially since you said there's no recession in Canada. I only have climbed in Squamish but have heard great things about the Bugaboos. So you plan on going to McGill and doing a few quick trips to Squamish and the Bugs???? Might I suggest you pick up a map of Canada before you decide to move here? Yes of course, I know Squamish is the west and there's provinces and I've been to Toronto, and my family lives in Quebec on the East Coast of Canada. Now getting back to the the topic - Climbing in Recession how's the prices for camping, climbing gear, and road trips for climbers in Canada versus the U.S in 2011? I met alot of climbers who were working as tree planters,logging, and drilling professions, Thanks Canada is expensive. Camping in Canada is expensive, food is so-so, alcohol is expensive, gas is expensive, gear is surprisingly often cheaper (but harder to find great deals). If you were going to try to travel in Canada on the super cheap you'd want to find areas that have crown land to camp on which are few and far between.
I climbed in Squamish in 2003 and 2006. It was cheap but the dollars where equal almost. Food was cheap and there are free areas.
I was thinking of the mountains in Quebec if I drive from Calif to New York then North.
I have family in Quebec that I want to see.
How much is a gallon of gas in American dollars?

Us Americans have to pay 10 a night to camp on crown land. If you get caught doing it without a permit they can confiscate your gear.

Opting for places I really want to climb, and making sure the weather is good at least for a few days in row. You don't do these things when there isn't a reccesion?? That is the exact questionI asked myself as soon as I read that as well... I suppose the only one I have ever thought about is #1, because gas had gotten even more expensive. But, that didn't have anything to do with a recession, and I didn't solve it by not traveling as far, but rather traveling more often by train.  Trains are mostly out of the question in North America. I do #2 almost all the time, but my reason is veganism. Wait, say what?
Now that gas is close to $4.50 dollars and its almost twice what it was to fill up my tank, this topic seems timely.
