I agree with shark. If there is one fault with this country, it is the fact that every company or organisation continually looks to take your hard earned money. Money that one works hard for to spend on his/her family and children. We all want to have decent living standards, give our children better future prospects etc, but over the last few years achieving this goal has become increasingly more difficult due to rising inflation and costs of living, while the government keeps misrepresenting the true figures.Just to give an example, my council tax bill now is £1450 per year, a rise of almost 70% from 4 years ago, while my salary has not increased anywhere near that amount. Almost every other living expense has risen way over our pay increases making life more difficult that it ever was before.

I am dreaming of a move to Canada. I am sure every country has its own problems and sure Canada is no different. But at least I know I have tried it. It also offers a much safer place to go to school and have a night out for 2 very young children.
