I know most of you are filled with Nationalistic pride.
I think that is great.
But there are downsides to everyplace.
For instance, I've read that almost 90% of you all live within 100 miles of the USA border.
So yeah, it gets cold and you have Winter.

What else?
Do you need a supplementary health insurance policy?
Is car insurance mandatory? ( I imagine so) How much? I pay about 25$ a month for liability for 1 car and 35$ for the other.
Is food taxed?
I've seen property taxes are nearly comparable to Wisconsin. (Expensive- 2,0-3,0% mil rates)
Tobacco and booze are way more expensive than here.
Do you pay tax on Internet purchases?
Can you buy stuff easily from the states via the Interwebs?

OK, lots of questions- just curious.
Thanks in advance.
