Save your money
Interesting how Albertans save the most for their RSPs and are the least taxed people of Canada. Coincidences? I think not.
The poll results also suggest a difference in plans for contributions on a regional basis, with Albertans more likely to sock money away for the just finished tax year than their counterparts in other provinces.

Save your money
This letter writer says Florida has some laws that may make our gun-toting crooks think twice. Even if it doesn’t, it’s still better than the sink hole known as the gun registry.
RE ALL the letters about the proliferation of illegal guns and the crimes being committed with them: One of the problems is our lax justice system. I was recently in Florida on vacation. Florida has a 10-20-30 justice program for the use of a gun when committing a crime: 10 years if you show a gun while committing a crime; 20 years if you fire the gun; 30 years if you shoot a person. These sentences are automatic, non-negotiable, and are above and beyond the sentence (not concurrent) for the crime that was committed. This may not make a huge difference, but every little bit helps.

(Sounds a heck of a lot more effective than a gun registry)
