GCheck

Got my first GCheck in the mail today! That is a lot of taxes... but I guess still less than in Canada, plus I'll get a lot of that back. In the end, it doesn't mean anything as I'll have to pay Canadian taxes on it anyways.

I found out that the Conservative federal government has proposed to lift the $3000 tax exemption limit on scholarships/fellowships in its budget! This is absolutely amazing! (i.e. much more of my earnings will be tax free if this passes!)
