If you move to Canada bring lots of money because supplements are too expensive to buy here. If you import them from the US you will pay duty and fees too. Frankly I don't think they are worth spending the money on anyway....Did I mention the high taxes in Canada, the high sales tax GST PST.15% or so plus outrageous income taxes...Oh edid I mention the government regulates everything and judges at lower levels of provinicial government make 216,000 a year and are demanding a 34, 000 raise. Doctors work for the government and there are long waiting lists for surgeries and services.

yeah, but i would rather not go to jail for wanting more muscle mass

 

[BrooklynJuice]

never gonna happen

what are they gonna ban meat, fish and everything else that has protein. Sift through the bullshit. How can you ban something that you get from eating.

 

[CriticalMass]

What are you guys paying for 5 pounds of protein anyway? ... we've got outstanding quality here in RSA (South Africa) for the equivalent of $65 ?..

im in Montreal

I pay 95$ CDN for 10pounds of optimum whey. Or 55$ for 5lbs

You are right about taxes though.. I am native so I pay none. But my Gf gets taxed onher pay.. its like 30% of something!!

Hospital is free for us.. then again the wait is usually kinda long.. 2-3 hours just to see a doctor!

 

[weight77]

that is crazy that you have to pay so much for protein.

 

[Derek]

how much is it down in the states? I sometimes to to plattsburg where most montrealers go for crossborder shopping and the prices are not that much better once you exchange it to cdn funds.

 

[weight77]

Well you pay $55 for 5lbs of whey, I pay $22 for 5lbs. I know they manager who runs the shop but still that only drops it down like a extra 5 bucks.

No way in HELL

If this ever happens our country might as well throw all our sports in the crapper as well. All sports would suffer, all althletes would suffer, and our country will get even more out of shape (physically speaking) than we already are. This idea is embarassing. To think we have politicians that fucking stupid in our country is scary. This is how politicians get shot. This idiot hysteria needs to end NOW. It is making Americans look like retards, and for our govt. to target us like this tells me they are DESPERATE to find SOMETHING that they can use as a distraction from much more demanding problems. Weak ass shit if you ask me. Pick on your own people, the ones that MAKE AMERICANS ACTUALLY LOOK GOOD for christ's sake. What a joke, no what a SHAME.
