The new provincial surplus for my province, Alberta, just came out. Because we are rich in oil we have almost 9 billion dollars extra. And because of this the government has decided to reserve 1.5 billion to be divided up and ‘refunded’ to the people. That means that everybody receives a check for 400 dollars - regardless of age. So now I need ideas on how to piss away my money :thumb:.
