Good luck on that exam Par!
Alison, we're out visiting Par (and diving of course) from Nov 6 - 17th.

Matt, talk like that is anti-capitalist. What do you have against businesses, anyway, you dirty commie.
Have fun on Edison Day. (Also, creepy: Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931).)

Matt, you're going to the coast? Cool! Have fun!
I'm sorry, but I'll have to take a rain-check on baby-meeting. When will you all be back? I'm possibly up the first weekend of November, and/or the last weekend of November. Perhaps some time can be arranged for me to come out and say hi.
I hope you guys have a great time partying up Edison's arrival, and further on your coastal adventures.

I know Google and all those other big corporations aren't doing anything illegal with the tax shunting thing. But it's still very annoying that the poorest individuals in this country are stuck paying 15.5% tax, small businesses without the means to set up overseas dummy offices are paying ~30%, while companies pulling in many billions every quarter can lower their tax burden to less than 5%. If those corporations actually paid an equal share imagine how much better our public services could be, or how much we could actually lower the tax rate for everyone.
On an unrelated note:
OPEN INVITATION
Meet the baby, eat some food, hang out for a while
My place, tomorrow afternoon, whenever is good for you.
Sorry for the short notice, but there's way too much going on between now and when we leave for the coast.

Canada is starting to go after private accounts in other countries now, though. ... like Switzerland etc. I guess they're tired of money being syphoned out of the economy.
huh, syphon has a y in it. I thought it was an i. you learn something new every day...

Doesn't sound like anything new that Google is currently doing to evade taxes.
Google wants to keep as much profit as they can. Tax laws don't work for them here try something else.
