Lars,
Wow, it's different over there, I mean weather and tax wise!
Gas is 2,5 times canadian prices, we have 180% tax on automobiles (plus 25% VAT) and furthermore the worlds highest taxes on personal income.
I really don't think that I can live with that! Jeeze, I thought Quebec taxes were high! Gas prices have somewhat improved today at $0.83 a litre. It's pretty good compared to what we've been experiencing in the past few months!
Anyways, as you say, I'm sure that it's a cosy place to live, but I still love the warm weather here from May through September.
As for that explosion at that fireworks warehouse, yes, I remember that. We talked about it quite a bit. I thought that was terrible. Just goes to show that fireworks maybe beautiful to watch and admire, but they can be deadly and lethal, as well.
Regards,
Trav.
