   Cancel away.  For Ottawa, I will not even ask, just cut and keep on   
   cutting.  Don't need EI, I would be a whole lot better off if EI   
   deductions from employer and myself were put in my LIRA and screw   
   government all to hell.  Ditto CPP.  And then they can't skim it.   
      
   Just keep on cutting, I don't see the value in Ottawa.  For the 5% they   
   do do, let the provinces pick it up and fire all of Ottawa.
