I hope the Turks and Caico is not expecting Canada to bail them out with
a lot of financial aid again. The place is a tax haven. Rich people put
them money into their banks there to hide it from the tax man. It is
bad enough that they do that, but it really ****es me off that they
would expect our government to use our tax money to help them out. Let
them tax that money and pay for their own reconstruction.
