When is a large tax increase not a small tax increase? When you add a Fee

Storm water management does anybody know what it is and how we pay for it?

Cobourg, until...

When I can combine a couple of things in one post, I love it. Firstly I have been a great fan of “Hitler Parodies”. These internet memes have been kicking around for a long time and can cover all types of satire and parody. To quote from a website – Hitler Parody Wiki  – This...

What I think about Covid now

Covid the modern scourge, the great leveller and it is completely avoidable. But who defeated it and is it defeated?

New Restrictions -papers please!

Yesterday the nearby State of Nayerit issued new regulations that shut down bars and casinos as well as large events. Restrictions were imposed on restaurants as well.

Crowds at the Airport

“Do not go to the airport in the afternoon”, advice bandied about by locals. Unfortunately some of us do not heed the advice. The crowd in the pic is only half of what it was when we first started to wait. PVR schedules about twenty planes in hour between 2pm and 3pm. Don’t ask me...
