  Navigating through pages of government sites is sometimes very time consuming. So I've listed some of the more popular pages below. If you come across any pages worthy of a link, please email me.

Yes, our favourite (CCRA)- all your Canadian taxation questions answered here. You could even register for BIN # online - what service....what a country.....!!

Department of Finance Canada

See what the Finance Minister is up to before the next budget. Also a good source to go to the day after a Federal Budget. "No such thing as a nothing budget..." Lorne Rovet C.A. quote 1987 - he's absolutley right!! Always check the fine print and see what we lose this time (it's either our freedom or our money, and usually both).
