And as far as the child tax situation goes, when we first moved to NS after about a couple months of living here they stopped the payment until we filled out some forms to let them know when we moved to NS etc. Well...my husband and I are really shitty at filling out forms and doing shit like making phone calls hahahaa, we lost the forms and never tried to call them to send it to us again, it's been 3 years now...I know...I know...with 3 kids that's a lot of money.
The way I see it now though, is that the "Universe" / Creator/Great Spirit, what you want to call it, has always been gently nudging me into this decision to cut my ties and stop taking any 'perks' from the systems I so despise.
