In Canada, the hated federal Goods and Services Tax, or GST is being further reduced from six to five percent — it was seven percent from 01 Jan 1991 until 01 July 2006. For information on the GST, call the Canada Revenue Agency toll-free at 1-866-959-7797 or visit www.gst.gc.ca.

A year ago, the Canadian dollar was worth 86¢ in American currency; it ended 2007 at $1.0088 US.

This year is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City.

Clan Sinclair is planning a mini Gathering in Scotland this year — of which, more later.
