...so you go to a Caribbean country during hurricane season, ignore mandatory evacuation orders and then cry when you aren't rescued after it all goes tits up. Apparently, Canadians trapped in these countries are upset that various consulates didn't down tools and rush to rescue them from their self-imposed mess.
Probably the same people either evading or avoiding taxes in Canada -- which, by the way, pay for your rescue. Reminds me of Lebanon a few years ago when the latest civil-war-du-jour trapped "Canadians" in that country who howled and screamed bloody murder that Canada wasn't doing enough to get them out. For them, Canada was merely a flag of convenience because they lived most of the time in Lebanon.
Please.
Indulge me as I continue to connect paying taxes with running an efficient country. And then you have heroes like my step-daughter and son-in-law, flooded out in Houston, who manned a boat rescue operation from their side lawn to ferry elderly neighbours to safety. With little sleep for almost two weeks, they have stepped up instead of waiting for someone to sail by and save them. She moved to Houston because she married a Texan -- not to escape taxes -- and has been a power of strength and example through it all. I'm very proud of her.
