 GJ> Lindemans Bin 65 - $4.99

 JW> $8.99 in most southern provinces in Canada.
 JW> $14.99 here.
 GJ> _Someone_ is making a packet!
 GJ> Perhaps you can get into the business?

 JW> The modest markups along the way (shippers, distributors, federal
 JW> excise, retailers) are all very reasonable. The one making the
 JW> packet is the territorial government who have a silly rule about no
 JW> private sector competition. They even prohibit me from buying
 JW> retail in Alberta and bringing it home in my car. Of course I ignore
 JW> that last bit and am a small time smuggler.
 
I hope your taxation/excise mob are not monitoring this Echo.

 GJ> Get your teeth done first, as dentistry on not on Medibank here.

 JW> OTOH my high taxes pay for my "free" dental and drug plans. As I am
 JW> in good health I would be much further ahead personally with low
 JW> taxes and paying my own bills but I can see the greater social good.

The time will come. I have read that the cost of medical treatment in
the last 2 years of your life equals the entire cost up to that point.
Certainly my body maintenance costs have been fairly low up until last
year, when I paid nearly $20,000 for a new hip, as an alternative of
waiting a year to get a free, Medicare one.  Most of the costs of
cataract operations were met by Medicare, though.
