I posted the Michael J. Fox/Terry Fox video from NBC and I maintained that it wasn’t insulting but merely a mistake. Well if you’re convinced that Americans don’t care about us and are totally ignorant to our great land then watch this. Caution, lump in the throat inducing.
Minister of Finance, Jim Flaherty said “No,” point blank to a question from a CBC National viewer regarding whether or not the federal Tories would ever consider making mortgage interest tax deductible. He also spoke of the new savings plan that allows Canadians to put away 00 tax free towards the purchase of a new house (or car or vacation or … whatever), this is different than the RRSP allowance that must be paid back.
On Tuesday and Wednesday this past week I went to Newfoundland with Mazda for a look at the all-new Mazda6.
I don’t want to talk about what I thought of the car, I’ll save that for another post but I stayed in a pretty nice hotel, by Newfoundland standards, at least.
There aren’t many hotels at all and this was billed as it’s only boutique hotel.
The Murray Premises is right on the water and is pretty old but has been upgraded. Exposed brick and wooden beams twice as thick as anything you’d see today make up the major architectual design. The TV was small and was normal cable with no movies, there was free wired Internet and a mini fridge in each room.
The main floor smelled like horse manure and the hallways were in poor repair. The elevator doors and fire exits could use with some fresh paint.
No idea what the average price per night is but if you’re on The Rock it is defintely worth staying here over the Delta.
