It says sub total $298.05 Under that it says taxable value GST 26.14 PST 12.18 then tax value GST 1.31 = $300.22. Why the fuck would i lie about that? I'm screen shooting the receipt and putting this whole conversation on X, I wasn't but if a bunch of Trudeau libs will call me a liar, i will. So you paid $1.32 of tax, not $40 as you previously posted. Sounds like math isn’t your thing. Spare yourself the embarrassment of posting your receipt. Ask one of your friends to explain the receipt to you. What’s a lib anyway? I’ve been a businessman since 1982. Don’t know what you’re on about. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another ancient show that started early in the 1970s (when the Vietnam was still in full swing) starring an Asian hero lead (ok, the guy playing him was white but he didn't play it like the Mickey Rooney character in Breakfast at Tiffany's): imho, a show ahead of its time (still managed to last a few seasons during at time when the "Western" on TV was dying out I think). heh, I think the show was only allowed to show X number of punches during each show since it was during 'prime time' hours at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's more ruthless, Trump or Pattison? Pattison is croony, oligarch capitalist, he's just too ball-less to do it in the open. It's ok if its a lib fleecing us though, eh? What does Pattison have to do with the liberal government? I have no clue how he votes but If I were to guess I wouldn't think liberal (fully admitting my guess might be wrong). I do know he has given a pile of money away. He's religious and believes in giving 10% of his money to charity. He's always done that so it adds up to a lot of millions. I'd ask if Trump has done the same but I think I already know the answer. And, in a similar fashion to one of my earlier posts, I think if we were to list the transgressions of old rich white dudes and sort them by political stripe it's going to be a long day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You paid 1.32 of tax on your groceries? 26.14 x 5% = $1.30 $12.18 x 7% =$.84 Total $2.14 Sounds like you got off light I live in BC and I understand these numbers. You live in your own little world and you don’t understand. We don’t pay tax on basic groceries in BC. We pay 5% GST on non basic groceries. End of story.

Self-made man as far as I know (Pattison). He wasn't born on third base with Barry Bonds in the batter's box like Orange man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
