6 G! e( _* U1 D: [7 tAs to the flight credits, I sure haven't heard about that from any of the folks here I know, it may exist, but the only travel credits I remember from Revenue Canada are those for travelling due to medical or employment purposes. I might be wrong....and believe you me, next tax return I'm gonna find out for sure!

5 W1 j5 j# e8 aThe oilsand plants run 24 hours, so half the city is sleeping at any one time, and half are working.
