Private companies don't have that, so Jeff doesn't get one. The amount depends on where you live in Nunavut as well - bigger cities get less, etc.<br /><br />Even in the short while that we've been here, I've come to appreciate how good we had it in the GTA. However, the upside is that we're learning how to conserve and hopefully it will transfer with us when we move home!<br /><br />Send yourself and Jon up! We get homesick :)Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982357771442100963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423648754092108986.post-58509453762250926482012-12-21T20:39:56.832-06:002012-12-21T20:39:56.832-06:00totally win win on the hat!!! :D
WHAT?! not a bi...totally win win on the hat!!! :D <br /><br />WHAT?! not a bingo fan?!?! <br /><br />you know... its weird, because its embarrassing to think that I went dollar store shopping, for craft stuff, and stuff to make gift baskets with, etc.... and was SO HAPPY to spent $80. $80!! Imagine! that's a present or two, of maybe one or two presents one person in their family would get... when I'm spending on like, 8 people... <br /><br />I regularly read your posts to Jon, and we are consistently mind boggled at just how epic the difference is. $12 for milk? $10 for hot dogs? etc.... Its a freakin rip off. <br /><br />Out of curiousity (you may have written about it prior) do you get a government subsidy to live in the province? Does everyone? My brother was going to go live in NWT for a bit doing mining or something some time back, and they were going to give him money, though I can't remember how much. <br /><br />Its unreal, and I feel so insanely privileged and corporately saturated and marketed towards, living in GTA. :( <br /><br />however! It enables me to purchase things and send them. Any requests? I'll be sending another package soon. A New Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11908361888481427876noreply@blogger.com
