My hit rate is nearer 50% :-( Perhaps it's because I'm relatively new to the country they feel they have to try and get as much money from me as possible just in case I leave. Oh yes, the Canadian government are quite happy to class me as a resident as far as taxes are concerned but when it comes to giving anything back, well that's another story.
