The same thing that will happen everywhere in Canada on March 3, 2014 .




(last day for RRSP contributions for the 2013 tax year - for Americans who are bored, RRSP = 401(K), except that we don't go through our employers and payroll deduction, we go through a financial institution, and we can buy in lump sums, or whatever, at anytime during the year - and the first 60 or so days of the next year. The date is March 3, 2014 for last year's taxes, so people will be lining up at banks, etc., this week, this weekend, and on Monday to get their contributions in. I went in and made mine today, actually.)

Lived down there in Hollywood for nine warm years during the construction boom. Deep sigh..................... I kinda miss all that humidity. A cigar store on practically every corner, although back then I primarily smoked a pipe, so I don't know much about them.

Ahhh...........gotchya!

I have a pension fund through work so I don't bother with RRSP's. My wife's work deposits into RRSP's rather than a pension so she would have known that............lol

But you've reminded me that my T4 should arrive this week and we'll have to get our taxes done ASAP. That's always a hassle since my wife works from a home office and is a US Citizen. So she has to file first in Canada, then in the US.

On the plus side, Canada takes more of our income than the US does so we never end up owing the IRS a penny. On the negative side, getting them all done isn't cheap. But we found a place in Edmonton that will do both the Canada and US so it's not as bad as it could be....
