Economist.com: Personal taxes | Give over

According to the Economist, Canadians pay less in tax than Americans. So, our dollar is worth more and we pay less in taxes. For years, if you asked a Canadian why they moved to the US to work, they'd probably say because the US dollar is worth more and Americans pay less in taxes. So, are Americans are going to start flocking to Canada?

Note that our taxes include the majority of our health care costs, and we aren't spending $12B a month in Iraq... but we are pillaging the environment in Northern Alberta. Maybe Canadians think it's easier to destroy their own country to get more oil instead of destroying someone else's country.

Personally, I just like hockey.

YouTube: Tremblay Guest Lecture

One of my classmates told me about J.P. Tremblay, a "legendary" Computer Science professor from the University of Saskatchewan. This video is of his last lecture, apparently a guest lecture he did after he retired to sub for a professor who couldn't make it to class for some reason.

It's pretty hilarious, a few things happen that I've never seen happen in a classroom before. :-)

YouTube: 400 Billion Dollar Secret

Watch this video on YouTube, very interesting to think that our landfills, especially all that organic waste, can easily be turned into fuel.
