Parts of that may be correct.  I haven't lived here that long. And I moved
to Newfoundland by choice. A choice made, for my own reasons, after
checking out every other province.

I happened to be an Ontarian during the time to which I referred. And your
remarks certainly didn't apply to any of the border cities in that
province.

As for your other remark; athough I don't, and never will, need UI or EI,
I am grateful for the transfer and equalisation payments made possible by
the other provinces. They do help keep my taxes down.

Thank you.

Cheers,  John Jenkins Sr.  -  daddio@thezone.net
