    Update on guns. The answer is NONE! Not in the Obama state of Canada! I`ve been carrying one up here for the last 25 years (on duty) and the regs have gotten so stupid, even for us, that it is too expensive for even Bill Gates to ensure his own personal security. Have them drop...

    Petro Canada also has a Petro Points Rewards program, so after a few purchases, you can get a few more pennies back. Here's the link. Petro-Points - Petro-Canada I have no affiliation with this company, other than the fact that my employer has a fleet plan with them. I get no benefits...

    One thing that might make POL stops easier, is for each traveller to procure a Petro-Canada Fuel Card. They are one of the larger players up here, and they have card lock facilities for the truckers. Usually at a better rate than pump prices. Petro-Canada I have no affiliation with this company...

    It looks like there is a fair amount of interest from our Legion (RCL118 North Vancouver), and we will try to help as we can as a staging point. A BBQ and local assistance are what we are considering. One of my greatest helpers (who owns nothing green, and does not wish to..) Wayne Fritz, will...

    Yes, we have HST which is GST and Provincial Sales tax wrapped up into one nice wallet crunch. The last that I knew, certain Foreign visitors could submit a GST rebate claim at the Canada Border Services Agency, on their way out of the country. There will be some hoops to jump through, but if...

    If the Convoy will come near Vancouver, B.C., I will try to assist you, as I am able, from my side of the border. Feel free to PM me with local questions, and I'll try to do what I can. Once the convoy route and timing are promulgated, we will have a much better idea as to what might be...

    In case you have not checked the exchange rates, our currencies are sitting at par, and have been for a while now. Yes, we do accept $USD, it spends just like ours. The big difference, is that our money is color coded for the benefit of people who aren't used Canadian Beer!
