| Ruminations
On Good ole Canada - Postcard From Costa Rica |
| - My apologies
to any readers who waited patiently for my report on Buenos Aires and/or
my definitive profile of renowned realtor and man-about-town in Nicaragua
Larry Hustler. All of that is coming but not right now. Actually in this
issue I need to answer some reader mail that’s been piling up for eons.
But first, a personal update: Late last September it seemed oddly appropriate
for me to go sit in a Toronto hotel room and get all misty watching curling
on TV. |

| The
non-resident Canadian Canadian |
| - Last month,
Escape from America Magazine told about taxes for US citizens working abroad.
Canadians have it even better. Tax policies derived from British Commonwealth
Laws allow Canadian citizens to receive non-resident status and enjoy no
taxes levied obn capital gains and interest accrued outside of Canada.
Non-resident Canadian Sam Barsoumian writes, "Unlike US citizens who are
forever doomed to file annual taxes, Canadian citizens can elect to become
non-residents and forever bid Canada Customs and Revenue Agency farewell. |

| The
Revenge of Canada's Old Economy |
| -
Tap into the Oil Boom at a 15% Discount and Snatch Hefty Currency Gains
to Boot. Canadian stocks have been on a bull run for the last four
years and have hit new highs almost daily since last quarter. As
a result, many Canadian equities sport stretched valuations. Yet,
with fierce global demand for natural resources, the Canadian stock market
has a lot of road yet to run. And perhaps the best opportunities
in the market are in energy stocks. Jul/06 |

has hosted the likes of Luciano Pavarotti. Live theater abounds and some

Canada Part One - Walk With Dinosaurs |
| - When I tell
other travelers that I’m from Canada, they inevitably ask, “Toronto or
Vancouver?” In fact, I come from nowhere near either of these wonderful
cities. There is so much more to Canada than many people are aware of,
and although Vancouver and Toronto are cities worth visiting, there are
many other lesser known sites that deserve some attention. Western Canada
- Alberta and Eastern British Columbia (the opposite side of the province
from Vancouver) - has activities and destinations to cater to all types
of travelers. See what you’ve been missing! |

Canada Part Two - More Adventures In Western Canada |
| - Many years
ago, a young native boy wished to witness a customary buffalo hunt firsthand.
He found a place on the face of a cliff where he could sit and have a perfect
view of the buffalo toppling over the precipice, driven to their deaths
by his people. The kill that day was extremely good, and the bodies of
huge buffalo soon began to pile up. In time, the boy was trapped between
the cliff and the dead bison. By the time he was discovered, his skull
had been crushed by the weight of the buffalos’ bodies. The site was named
Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump. |

| Winter
In Canada - Survival |
| - Some parts
of Canada don't get much snow and ice in winter but many Canadians battle
tough weather conditions and slippery roads for almost six months each
year. The ‘white stuff‘ generally starts to arrive in late October and
can often stay around until March or later. Although winter weather can
be harsh, we are fortunate that the truly ‘deep freeze’ cold snaps tend
not to last more than a few weeks at a time and in many parts of Canada
the sun shines all winter long, which is a great lift for the spirit. |
