Now that is funny !!
The Dogwood is the provincial flower of British Columbia.
Just in the past few week or three the premier of BC increased the combined
provincial / federal sales tax from 5% to 13% in an attempt to bolster the
province's treasury.
Having earned a DWI conviction in Hawaii during a recent vacation Mr Premier
discovered that his Dogwood definitely did not bloom after his attempt to
increase his treasury's income. In fact he saw fit to quit having read the
tea leaves ahead of a provincial referendum in which the sales tax increase
is likely to be thrown out !!!
