My cousin emailed me this. No idea where she stole it from, because for once it didn’t have a hundred thousand email addresses in the forwarding history:
The provincial government is sending each of us a $100 Carbon Tax rebate.
If we spend it at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China.
If we spend it on gasoline, the money will go to the Arabs.
If we purchase a computer it will go to India.
If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
If we purchase a good car, it will go to Japan.
If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan,
and none of it will help the B.C. economy.
The only way to keep the money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes, weed,
beer and tattoos since these are the only products still produced in British Columbia.
Thank you for your help and please support B.C.

That is funny. Hey, what about hockey? I thought you Canadians were all about hockey?
Why not save it for skiing at Whistler next winter? Day passes are about a hundred bucks these days, right?
I honestly think it’s more, but locals never pay. It’s like living beside Disneyland: We all know someone who gets a free pass and guest passes. Besides, you think I can ski Whistler? I’m strictly bunny hill league.
Hockey? We didn’t even make the senior rounds of the playoffs this year, dammit! Don’t talk to me about hockey.
Nobody from BC actually skis Whistler. $100 would buy you a chairlift roughly 1/3 of the way up and from there you hitchike.
And next winter, as the Olympics gear up, I predict BCers will avoid the Sea-to-Sky (aka Highway to Hell) in droves.
And hey–beer, hookers, pot and tattoos may be all our province produces, but we produce damn good beer, hookers, pot and tattoos.
We do indeed. If our beer were not as good as it is, I’d have gotten a new post up by now.
By the way, if we buy gasoline, the money will not in fact go to “the Arabs”.
Flawed as that statement is, it ignores the fact that Canada imports most of its oil from Alberta, rather than, say any nations containing large quantities of anything other than pudgy white guys.
The idea of sending good dope money to Ralphland strikes me as bad, nonetheless.
if the only way to keep the money at America is to spend money on prostitutes, weed, beer and tattoos
than why don’t u outsource it in other country….
people from other country required those :)
Cheers bytheway
Hahahaha, you didn’t read this, did you?
We’re not talking about the States. Americans spend all their money on guns, drugs, cable tv, and nasty beer.
Duh.
