Anyway, it's nice to think if you work hard all your life and manage to acquire an above average house, you won't be taxed out of it in your old age.

When we first came to Calgary in the early 60's, the prairies east of Calgary was littered with abandoned homes, which at one time were someone's dream home, that they ended up having to leave because they couldn't pay the taxes.
You are right.

Where can I send money to donate to such a good cause?
