Does anyone know if there is a way of getting around having to pay for your Alberta Health Care every month. $44 does add up a month.

Hi Everyone,

I was talking to a friend and he mentioned an amazing place in Greece that was basically the poor man's Ibiza. I can't remember the name, nor can I remember the distant friend's phone number - I can only remember the name may have been Iia? I doubt it.

I will be in Greece during my trip and I hope to check this place out. If anyone has heard of such a place, ...

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know what the status of bringing Absinthe back from Europe is in Canada? I live in Montreal, and have noticed that the SAQ (liquor comm) sells absinthe liqeur, but I hear it is not real absinthe.
